Time Efficient Exercise - getting more done in the same time

I'm a personal trainer and most of clients only spend half an hour at a time with me.

The issue is always how to help clients pack as much exercise into the time.

One of my strategies is to work on multiple muscle groups in one place in the gym. The alternative is to work one set of muscles, move to another machine to work another muscle then move again.

It's an approach which can be made to work but you spend a lot of time walking around the gym and in a busy gym that can be slow. Then of course you get to the target machine and it's in use.

So what alternatives do I offer ?

The main alternative is to use each piece of gym equipment to work multiple muscle groups. Just because a machine is labeled Calf Raise doesn't mean that the only use is to work the calves.

I use this approach with quite a number of machines in the gym.
In this post I look at using the Calf Raise machine to work Quads and Traps in addition to the Calves. This is also a first for me uploading an exercise video entirely created but myself (with my wife as camera person).
