Using your time wisely can drastically change your results from working out. Isolating your muscles cannot yield the same results as more efficient, full-body training.
Kettlebells can provide the most bang-for-the-buck. Using high-impact exercises like the get-up, swing, snatch, and clean provides both a strength and cardio workout that can get you into amazing shape. For the kettlebell newbie, only 10 minutes a day can enable you to change your body and functional strength in no time.
Don't get hyped up into the muscle magazine culture that tells you that you need to split your workout into each body part. If you don't have access to kettlebells, do full body exercises such as Deadlifts, Squats, Bench press, Pull-ups and Dips. Get started on these exercises with heavy weights and you'll not only see your body change aesthetically, but you'll also be stronger and perform better.
The following is a couple workouts that can deliver great effects. During these exercises, using heavier weights can improve your results and increase your muscle and power.

1-1: Deadlift 5x5

Follow this workout for a month, alternating Workout 1 and 2 three days a week and along with a healthy diet and a basketball session or two and you will start seeing some major results in overall strength and muscularity, not to mention fat loss. Forget the wrist curls and lateral raises and start hitting your whole body. With these exercises, you'll be hitting all the muscles that you would have with isolation exercises.
Using these exercises will save time because they target the same workouts that isolated exercises do. This allows you to build a great body in half the time that most magazine workouts require. Kettlebells, and similar full-body exercises, can give you more bang for the buck. - 15485
