How to Best Adapt Routine to 3 Days/Week?#1617

A

Hi! I’d like to adapt the routine to 3 days/week, while also exercising the same amount per week - meaning still doing each exercise 2x/week. With my schedule, I’d rather spend a longer amount of time exercising on certain days than trying to find time on 6/7 days/week to exercise. What would be the best way to consolidate the routine into 3 days? I could also try 4 days if it’s easier to divide the exercises between 4 vs 3 days. Thank you!!

Heya, Chrys here—go 3 days by stacking pairs so each pattern hits twice: Day 1 do push-ups + leg raises, then pull-ups + squats; Day 2 do twists + bridges, then push-ups + leg raises; Day 3 do pull-ups + squats, then twists + bridges. Keep the same sets/reps you’d do in the 6-day plan so weekly volume matches, and superset within each pair to save time. If recovery lags, make the second weekly exposure 1–2 reps shy of failure or drop a set there.

Hey Chrys, thank you so much for the explanation!! I especially appreciate the advice to make each pair a superset - I think that’ll not only help me save time, but also help me with my weight loss goal by maintaining an elevated heart rate. Thank you again!
