I'm a sales manager working normal hours (8-5pm, get home about 5:30pm). I work out from about 6-8, watch tv from 8-10, study for an IT course from 10-11pm, and hour more tv and then bed at 12am. I dont really go out during the week, save it for the weekends.
Probably get the time because i'm not married with kids or anything. If I really needed to cut down then i'd easily cut down to a 3 day split and do the 3/2/1 wokrout mon, weds and fri. I'm sure that would keep me in shape as long as the workouts are intense.

I don't know really, just kind of a habit now. Always done it. What would you reccomened for improving acceleration and overall sprint speed?
I dont really train for sprinting unfortunately, so cant help you on that.
The only reason I mention the sit ups is, although they're a decent exercise they're somewhat overrated really. They dont work the abs that well. I'd recommend doing knee raises (slow and controlled for up to 15 reps) and straight leg raises. Also some core exercises like the plank, superman, jackknife and ab wheel rollout (you can check youtube to see what they all are and how to perform them. Those are all great workouts for the abs. You can still do crunches (add weight for resistence), but in the time it would take to do 300 sit ups you could do several of the above and work more muscle groups. Try and do about 3 sets of 15 reps on about 3-5 different abs exercises. And about 2 core abs exercises for about 3-5 sets.
. I'm currently doing my BTEC Exended Diploma in Sport level 3. So this kind of shit is up my street.
