Short Workouts for Busy Mums: The Science of 30-Minute Training

Are short workouts really enough to build muscle? In this episode I break down the science behind short workouts and strength training for busy mums. You’ll learn why 30–40 minute full-body workouts can be more effective than spending hours in the gym. I cover how weekly training volume, muscle growth, and workout design all fit together – without needing to train constantly. By focusing on full-body, efficient workouts and consistent effort, you can get real results even on a tight schedule. I also explain how to structure realistic full-body sessions across the week to hit the muscle-building targets from the research – all without “living in the gym.” The goal is to help mums train smart and consistent, so exercise feels doable, not overwhelming.Come and say “hi” on Instagram @claire.coachingkingsI’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!If you’re ready to stop running on empty, join STRONGER and get 50% off your first month with the code PODCAST50.STRONGER gives you personalised programming and support without the hefty price tag,  just £22.50 for your first month (£45 per month thereafter) for tailored training and guidance.Tap the link in the show notes and let’s make the next 6 months completely different from the last:https://mailchi.mp/thecoachingkings/stronger-sign-up-page
