Staying fit, strong, and healthy has always been one of my priorities, but sometimes I couldn’t get enough time to work on my fitness. But being a fitness enthusiast and working in the fitness industry, maintaining my physique is crucial for me.
That’s why I’ve created various workout routines for myself to maintain my mass and strength and followed the one that fits into my lifestyle.
Recently, I’ve been doing a 30 Minute Full Workout at Gym, four times a week. I’ve created this routine in a way that I can train my every muscle group at least twice a week and keep improving my strength, endurance, and muscles.
If you also want to develop your fitness but have a limited time, this gym workout plan can be convenient for you.
All it requires is thirty minutes of time and access to the weights and equipment.

Other information about the program:
- I’ve primarily incorporated compound exercises in this routine which are excellent for targeting several muscles at once.
- I’ve included most exercises for large muscles, such as the chest, back, quads, and shoulders. Working on these muscles also ensures you’ll get good work in your small muscles, like the biceps, triceps, and calves.
- Whether you train two times or five days a week, keep following the routine day-wise.
- It’s best to perform some cardio exercises for five minutes at least to get your heart rate up and increase oxygen flow before lifting heavy. For example, you can run on the treadmill, do some bodyweight aerobic exercises, or lift light weights.
I’ve also attached a pdf of this workout routine at the bottom of this article so that you can download and keep it handy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are 30 minutes enough for a full body workout?
Thirty minutes isn’t sufficient to get a decent workout, but it is good enough to hit your entire body. To get the most out of your thirty minutes of training, you should follow a workout plan that focuses primarily on compound lifting and large muscle groups.
Is a total body workout plan effective?
A study has shown that total body workouts and split routines produced almost similar results when training each muscle group twice per week. So, total body workout training is an excellent way to build strength, muscle, and endurance, especially for those who have limited time.
I’m a beginner; can I do this?
Yes! Whether you’re a male or female, the full body workout routine is suitable for all fitness enthusiasts, from beginners to intermediate. I’ve included primarily fundamental muscle and strength building exercises, so even if you’re starting your workout journey, you can begin with this 30-minute gym workout plan.

No. I’ve created this workout plan to build muscle. However, if you want to increase your fat loss, you can combine this thirty minutes strength workout with thirty minutes of cardio.
