t's not called an easy-out; it's called a workout. That's why it's important that you make the most out of every minute spent working out.
More to the point, don't squander your valuable workout time by isolating single muscles. Rather than performing bicep curls or triceps press downs, focus your attention on moves that target multiple muscles at once. Pull-ups, bench press, squats, deadlifts, and the clean-and-press are all examples of such exercises. Leave the isolation exercises to folks that have been training for several years and wish to put some finishing touches on their physiques.
Also, try your best to stay focused. When you're working out (especially when you're at the gym), it's not time to socialize. You can't keep your goals in sight when they are out of focus, which is why you would do well to steer clear of unnecessary banter until your workout is done. Keep your mind on your muscles; visualize them actually working as you perform each exercise. This mind-muscle connection is crucial to achieving maximum results in the shortest amount of time.
