60-Minute Drill

Sometimes, too much time may be spent in the gym or in doing a certain type of workout. Below are just a few types of workouts and their estimated time to completion if you picked exercises that agreed with the tempo.

Power workouts take more time:

Power Workout Parameters
Warm-Up (includes dynamic flexibility) 10 minutes
Exercise/Drills Of 5 sets, 4 repetitions (reps)
Tempo 1-0-0
Rest Intervals 2 minutes (m)
1 rep = 1 second (s)
4 reps = 4 seconds
5 sets = 8 m 4s
                  Exercise/Drill # Time to Completion
1)  8m 4s
2)  8m 4s
3)  8m 4s
4)  8m 4s
5)  8m 4s
Total Exercise/Drill Time 40m 20s
Cool Down (Static Stretching, light run, walk, bike) Approximate Time Leftover = 9m 40s
Grand Duration 60 minutes

Endurance workouts are what they are....endurance. Can your body act again after a short rest window as it should during this protocol?
Endurance Workout Parameters
Warm-Up (includes dynamic flexibility) 10 minutes

Circuits, generally, save time. But, they can be tough. There is more room to experiment. But, make sure you are not fatiguing a muscle group when you do wish to fatigue it. HIIT (high intensity interval training comes in to play in this case.)
Circuit Workout Parameters
Warm-Up (includes dynamic flexibility) 10 minutes
Exercise/Drills For various durations from 10s to 30s
Tempo Flexible - just complete as many as you can with good form in the indicated amount of time. 
Rest Intervals 10s at most between exercises…30s between exercise sets...60s between circuit sets/numbers
Sets Range from 
                Circuit Number 3 sets per Circuit Type/Sequence Time to Completion
1 ) 30s per exercise Lower Body-Upper Body-Lower Body 4m 30s to 5m 30s
2)  10s per exercise (i.e., 10s run) Short distance-Upper Body-Short Distance 3m 30s to 4m 30s
3)  30 seconds per exercise Upper Body-Upper Body (Floor Core)-Upper Body 4m 30s to 5m 30s
Cool Down 10 minutes Total Exercise/Drill Time 12m 30s to 15m 30s
