Why You Don’t Need More Time—You Need More Intention

Not enough time to work out? Join the club. Most guys over 40 are juggling work, family, stress, and recovery.

Here’s the fix:

Stop chasing time. Start increasing intention.

• 20 focused minutes with dumbbells beats 60 minutes of scrolling between sets.

• A 10-minute walk after dinner adds up over weeks.

• Prepping two solid meals beats guessing all day.

You don’t need more hours. You need more purpose in the hours you already have.

Mindset Shift:

Busy Isn’t the Enemy—Distraction Is

We blame our schedules when we miss workouts—but often it’s the phone, the binge, the pause that never ends.

Here’s the shift:

• Schedule workouts like appointments.

• Put the phone in another room.

• Set a timer. Hit start. Move.

You’ve got the time—you just have to protect it like it matters. Because it does.

Question from Our Readers:

“Can I make real progress with just 3 workouts per week?”

– Tony, 50, from Raleigh

Absolutely!

if you’re strategic:

• Focus on compound movements (presses, pulls, squats, carries)

• Train full body or push/pull splits

• Stay consistent and push intensity when you’re in the gym

Three focused sessions + clean nutrition + daily movement = real transformation.

Fit Trivia: Which 90s action cartoon featured a villain who had dumbbells for arms and flexed before every battle, shouting about his gains?

Answer: Dexter’s Laboratory – Major Glory’s rival, The Infraggable Krunk! Krunk was a parody of 90s fitness and superhero tropes—complete with muscle poses, dumbbell arms, and the personality of a protein shake with anger issues. Hilarious and oddly motivating.
