To begin with, make sure you have a plan for each day. Write down all the exercises you will be doing for that day and write down all of the weights you will be utilizing for each exercise. Note down how many sets you’ll be doing for each exercise and how many repetitions you will be performing during each set.
Do split body part routines. For example, on Monday and Thursday, do legs, arms and abs. On Tuesday and Friday, do chest, back and shoulders. This way, you only have half of your body parts to work on every day, reducing considerably on time spent in the gym.
Upon arriving at a fitness center, arrange as many things as you can in advance so that when you start, you can keep moving from one exercise to the other without wasting time getting the next piece of equipment set up. In such a manner, you can go straight through each exercise without stopping, take 1-2 minutes rest, after which simply repeat till you complete all of your sets.
Avoid socializing. While being friendly is okay, do not let yourself get distracted by having a conversation with others in the fitness center.

Explain to people wanting to speak to you that you are on limited time and you simply cannot stop what you’re performing at the moment or better yet, put on a pair of headphones before you start your workout; they will get the idea.
Always do your weight training and cardio training separately. On days you aren’t doing weight training, you can spend 30 minutes on the treadmill or on the stair climber. By doing this, you are still just working out for 30 minutes. Combining the two only indicates you will have to spend more time in the gym and time spent in the gym is what you’re trying to cut down on.
In summary, simply remember to write out a plan for each day, split those body parts on different days, keep moving during your routine, don’t socialize, and do not do weights and cardio on the same day and you will see excellent results in just 30 minutes a day.
