- How long should your workouts take to see the best results? Does working out for longer than 45 minutes diminish muscle growth and fat loss due to hormonal changes? Or is this a myth? Find out what the scientific evidence has to say about exercised induced changes to testosterone and cortisol, and if there really is an optimal workout length for building muscle and burning fat.

How long should you work out during each training session? Is there actually a time limit for your workouts that you don't want to exceed. After all, I'm sure you've heard some people say that that working out for longer than 45 minutes to an hour will have a negative effect on your hormones, and do more harm than good, ultimately limiting your progress. Meanwhile, others say that there's no need to worry so much about overtraining and the more time you put into your workouts the faster results you'll get. So which one is it? Well, that's exactly what I want to go over in today's video. And not only will I provide my personal suggestions, but I'll also go over exactly what the scientific research has to say on this topic. So let's start first with the very common belief that you should never exceed hour-long workouts and preferably even keep your workouts under 45 minutes. This idea is mostly based around what happens to hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, and cortisol during exercise. When you start working out your body will respond by naturally boosting testosterone levels and the theory is that this boost is supposed to help improve our performance, help us build muscle to a greater degree, and it's also supposed to help us burn more fat... So far so good, however, the idea is that after around 45 minutes your Cortisol levels will start rising while your testosterone levels start dropping putting your body into a catabolic mode where you're more likely to breakdown muscle tissue for energy, and store more body fat. So exercising past the 45-minute mark was always thought to be at best a waste of time and at worst something that could undo all your hard work at the gym. Now, is there any truth to this? Well, there have been a couple studies that looked at this topic directly and one of the first ones was a small study back in 2001 that involved a small sample size of only 16 men. The researchers divided these men into two groups. One group only trained one arm for 9 weeks. While the other group trained their arm the same way, but also included 8 sets of Legs at the end of their arm workouts, to stimulate more testosterone and growth hormone to be released. Sure enough, after each workout, blood tests showed that the group that also trained their legs experienced higher spikes in testosterone and growth hormone levels. And At the end of the 9 weeks, the group that worked both their Arm and legs increased their strength in their trained arm by a whopping 37 percent while the group that only worked their arm without training their legs increased their arm strength by only 9 percent. So this study clearly showed that you should ideally limit your workout length to that first 45 minutes while testosterone and growth hormone is elevated since in this study it led to more gains......... or did it. Well, it actually turns out the study was flawed. The participants in the leg's and arms group started off 20 to 25 percent weaker than the participants in the arm only group, giving them the opportunity to take greater advantage of newbie gains leading to a greater change in their strength levels throughout the study. (1) So it was ultimately inconclusive

Hope you guys enjoy this video. To clarify further I DO NOT say that 45 min is the best workout length at any point of the video. Before commenting please make sure you at least skim through the video đ. As always thanks for tuning in!
People here is so tough, they couldn't understand this video.
Just want to ask one thing. My condition is skinny fat and I don't want strength and all. I just want to do hypertrophy cause I wanna be a model. What time will be best for me?
How can you finish all exercises in less than 1 hour while you take more than 2 minutes rest between sets ???
Gravity Transformation - Fat Loss Experts What about mindset? I mean I know theyâre typically genetic specimens. But Arnold. Mr. California workout 4-5 hours. I LOVE being at the gym.
Also. What about shit like GTG training? I know everything Pavel Tsatsouline broke the mold and while most of us donât necessarily have time to train that way, itâd be cool to know why the 80âs Russian Olympic team records still havenât been beaten (apart from the state sponsored steroid program...power lifting teams still use roids). Anyways. Your shits always educational! TY đđ»
fung whyou 100% agree. Mainly curious as to how GTG works, more so WHY. Same w all Pavelâs methods.
Iâm fully aware we have better equipment, nutrition, science, and studies at our disposal. My question overall is more involved. How healthy were these participants to begin with? What were their diets like? Was that even a consideration? Bc we all know that nutrition is about 80% of training to begin with. Are there ANY controlled studies available taking men like us (Iâm assuming youâve been training at least a year and have been following a regimented nutrition plan - I just count my macronutrients and consume healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates). I only supplement w a multi, b complex, and use whey and creatine. Caffeine pre workout.
Why donât they study ppl like us? Iâd be down.
Iâm about to start NASMâs nutrition program and their certified personal training program. Anyways. Hope youâre well brother! Thanks for the reply!
I spent 45 minutes waiting for equipments to be available đ

LoLwa đđđ
HAHAHAHAH
The struggle is real bro
I workout until I'm done.
Same bro
Ok
until can't do anymore, and muscle failure is important than gassing out, that's why you need proper rest between sets, so 45 minutes is crap
A-fucking-men
If u are done on a 2-hour workout your intensity isnât as high as It should be, soo ur training like a pussyđ€Ș
I can go 2 hours without realizing it
Danny Sullivan I just get in my zone
because you got the stamina and your body is used to it but many of us guys bust our ass at work so our stamina is limited
S M facts
In boxing we workout 45 min - 2 hours and I don't even realize it
Me too
45 - 60 mins feels like a sweet spot for me. Still allows me time to get everything done if you focus on your workout with purpose and donât sit on your phone for 5 minutes after each exercise like I see a lot of people doing đ
Icl I sit before i move to a different set so I can have energy to work out in the set
It'd be nice if it was just 5 minutes, I've literally seen people sit on the same machine, on their phone, for the entirety of my workout (45-60 mins).
I think it depends. If I lift heavy, I will need longer rest (3-5 min) before my next set. Less than that, I won't be able to finish my next set :(
Well our gym i use is open from 5 am to 9pm sp we got all the time we need and its gigantic gym many equipment

I hate the fact that I can eat donut for like 3 minutes, and have to workout for like 2 hours to burn the calories it has. đ€Ł
Quit eating sugary crap. Stop punishing yourself.
@n a r l: it's just not fair, is it? lol
My friend, if you build enough muscle, you can increase your metabolism to the point where you can have as many doughnuts as you want. Total calorie intake is more important, rather than what you eat per se.
I love that, because if it wasn't like that we'd all be dead
It takes 3 minutes for you to eat a donut? Amateur.

@Abeer Talukder Fitness Thanks dude, Filthyfrank was the best
I personally think 45 minutes to 1 hour is enough for average people who have other job besides lifting.
Edit : I now think even 20 minutes is enough if you know how to train. Increase intensity. Of course you are not going to become Arnold Schwarzenegger with this approach. But you are not going to stay unhealthy either. Majority of us just want to be either strong or in shape or both.
True
I do 1 hour
peasants...
Exactly
Everyone HV jobs to do but when it comes to fitness say no to compromise because you can't train your back or chest in 45to60 mints and if can then definitely you are cheating to yourself
Best fitness channel on youtube. He shows you the research and he keeps his shirt on most of the time lol.
bruh.....
He's not the best fitness channel on YT. He went way too much into detail with the first study he presented. He could have just told us that due to the small sample size and the differences in the two samples, the study was flawed. Instead he pushed the vid to 10 mins
Just my thoughts, I still appreciate the content but he's not the best
@@denisl3676 well, he needs more revenue, so 10min mark is must.

Shoot, When I was a boxer, I used to train 5 to 6 days a week, up to 6 hrs a day. Warm up, bag work, Weight training, Sparing, etc. I did this for years and was in fantastic shape. I had no negative effects that I can remember.
John Norris that was my question too. No boxer spends 1 hour in the gym, and they are in incredible shape. He must be basing this on just lifting weights
Endurance training is perfect for long sessions. You will get stronger and stronger in that area faster and faster
But in bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman? Just dont do it pls. It will cap your results
@Ba'al Busters not even juicers on a pro level go 3 times a day and most go 5 to 6 times a week once every day
if u can do more than that, then ur not training hard enough
Dude, 6 days a week, up to 6 hours a day is the work level of a top athlete. The vast majority of society don't train for so long. But you sir must have had great discipline to do that. Crazy but impressive stuffđȘ
@@user-tl2cs6wv8b I did, but I was also in my early 20's. In my 40's now and a bit over weight. Trying to get back in shape, but I could not do half now what I did then. Getting old sucks.
I do a push pull legs routine. The weightlifting usually last me about 35-40 minutes (I superset everything) and then I do either 20 minutes of cardio or core work. Has done me wonders. And to anyone reading, keep following that dream of fitness đȘ Get a great workout in everyone!
You mind sharing your routine ? Iâm trying to find a PPL routine that doesnât take me over an hour âïž

Supersetting shouldn't be overdone. You're doing too many sets.
hello brother respect from INDIA can you please answer my following questions as i follow PPL but my workouts are 60-75 mins long and i would love to try superset approach as yours.
1. what is the no of sets in one superset for example if you are doing inclined bench press what is the total no of sets
2. what is the total weigh lifted in each set and for how many reps
Really enjoy your videos. Like how you back up everything with scientific information other then just saying you know this from experience. Each body is different so what experience works for one, might not work for another. The fact that you take the time and back it up by scientific facts, then leave it for the watcher to make up their own mind is helpful. Keep up the good work.

I see people come to the gym, do 20 minutes of running and 20 minutes of bike riding, and then leave. For those people 45 minutes is plenty. For me though, I need at least 1.5 hours.
These people shouldn't even go to the gym, for god's sake run & bike đ
@@MonteNecro Some people have different goals. I think wanting to lose weight without gaining muscles is also a fine goals if that's what you want.
@@MHGFTW that's not what i wanted to say. It's a waste of money going to the gym for something you can do at home, i mean it's even better for our health running outside with the sun. If he's doing something else in the gym that's ok, but if he's running, riding a bike e doing some push ups and crunch then he'a only wasting money
@@MonteNecro I suppose, but for fat people it might be more welcoming to run on a threadmill instead of outside. If a fat person is running outside, everyone takes a peek. When it's in a gym, that's what you're supossed to do on a threadmill. It's also easier to do year round. What if there's thick snow or ice everywhere? A fat person has a lot of difficulty balancing their weight as is...
@@MonteNecro naw some people have jobs and dont get off until late. No one wants to get stabbed or rob in the dark in today society.
I recently started wondering this. I spend about 2 hours at the gym, but there's about 10 to 15 minutes of stretching, a warm up set with every compound lift, 1 minute breaks in between sets and not to mention starting off with light weight and then slowly going up.
I would say 90 mins to 2 hours is good, if you want to hit all bases without burning yourself out. I warm up each work as well, I can spend up to 30 mins on 1 movement of like 5 sets.
Idk how people only do 45 minute workouts (unless it's strictly cardio), it's way too rushed and simply not enough time to wear myself out. The absolute minimum would be 90 minutes and even that's still rushing it.
@@LeeEverett1 What if it's 30 mins of yoga + 30 mins (2 diff muscle groups) of working out.
If you do 30 secs break instead of 1 minutes, then you can easily cut almost half of your time
@@LeeEverett1 Depends how many muscle groups you are working but yeah 45 minutes is not long at all. I could probably do biceps and shoulders adequately in 45 minutes but really more often it takes me 60-90 minutes to get a proper workout in.
By a long long long long shot, these are the best training/workout videos on CZcams!
Well, what are your goals? Because you can get a decent workout in 15 minutes time if you're purely exercising to have a healthy body. It only gets complex when you're trying to attain specific aesthetic or performance results. And the time can be all over the place from (30 mins - 2 hours) depending on what you want, current level of fitness, age, injuries, equipment, time of day, nutrition, rest/sleep schedule etc. etc. etc....There is NO set standard for how long workouts should be as every Person, Workout and Goal is different!
Very, concise, very straightforward and to the point. No lollygagging, no weighing the listener down with unnecessary information. What does the research say/Conclusion/How can we addopt that into our workout. Beautiful video. Thank you.
Just wanna say I really appreciate your time to educate us with this information! Boss
Great video, exactly on point! Itâs the quality of the workout that counts and increasing volume has certainly helped me see fast gains. I typically train 2 hours, sometimes up to 3 (if Iâm hitting two muscle groups) but always making sure I finish my routine before I leave. Like he said, donât worry about the time just train with intensity, consistency and progressive overload and youâll soon see the results đ
I never waste time in gym and I always leave when I feel like I can't workout anymore. It's usually 1 hr and 15 mins and I follow Push/Pull/Leg. So far so good.
What do u do for push. I never understood what push means. Like chest and pull is bicep triceps
@@i7khrxs910 push:-chest, shoulder, triceps
Pull:-back & biceps
Legs:-
@@bhargavpatel6008 no no no,

Pull is pulling the pud, push is pushing a Turd and legs are squatting on the toilet after eating 4000 calories a day :)
Really though I also do push legs and then pull twice a week which seems to take me 75 minutes as well.
I'll stop my workout when my workout is done
Exactly, i have different exercises and my workout is done if those are done

This entire video could literally be replaced by "until it gets very uncomfortable, then stop".

Execlty men
Sometimes the gym stuff say to me they will be closing the place
If you enjoy training like myself you donât really think about time. Sometimes u feel like u can only go 30 minutes and sometimes youâll end up doing 1 and a half hours in another. Just depends on your relationship with getting in shape
What can you do in 45 min? Three sets each of three exercises, at best? I lift heavy weights and I need 2 or 3 minutes between sets. If you can squat 110 kg after a minute again, or deadlift 150 kg after, again, after only one minute, congratulations. But, at 36, I can't. I rather lift heavy weights than lift lightly and race against the clock.
I do 1.5 hour workouts. 2 heavy exercises with 2 isolation on big muscles and 3 exercises on smaller muscle groups
I Train monday and friday becouse of work commitments. I do 2 hours each day so 4 hours a week. The rest of the week is about Recovery and Diet, Master all 3 to Reep the Rewards.... HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH..... đđȘ
Most important aspect of proper training is Check your ego at the door when you walk in. Lifting so heavy that you can barely do any workouts in a full 45 minutes session while you're at the gym isn't efficient. Go just a little lighter, keep your form clean and you should be able to do significantly more reps in that amount of time. There are very hard cut-offs when it comes to weight, just a few kilos too heavy and suddenly you're at 1/3 the total reps and 3 times the amount of rest you may need. I train hard and heavy 2 hours a day 4 times a week. 3 clean sets at a heavy weight to where I'll probably fail on the last one. Then a solid 3-4 reps of a heavier weight, then I drop down to my old standard and go till failure. Allows me to continually progress the weight I work with, get used to heavier weight and use my old normal weight as a good motivator in my last set for progress. Went from benching 100kg as my standard to 125 now in a couple months. Yet even though I do 5 sets for bench, It takes me at most 12-15 minutes even when I have my friend with me and we alternate. I'm not saying don't take breaks, but lifting so heavy that you break longer than you train, at least for me, leads to really slow progress with the exercises I have time for and almost no progress for the exercises I don't typically like, but know I need to include.
This so much
Yesterday was 2.5 hours at the gym and only managed to do 2 variations of bench and ohp after that.
@@dt7197 Perhaps check *your ego* and don't be so condescending? Most studies show a 3-minute recovery is optimal and heavy-weights with proper form are the best for hypertrophy. Seriously, what can you do in 45 min? Sometimes just setting up an exercise at my gym takes five minutes. You can't do any abs work or calves, or anything else if you are limited to 45 minutes. That only works for full-on bro splits.
I train at home and have found that one hour sessions of push/pull/legs/off split works great. Working only one muscle group at a time helps me better understand my progress.
Where can I find the 1 hour sessions?
Will be starting the 6 week challenge soon, really looking forward to this as I havenât trained in decades. Iâm 47 years old but I will do everything in my power to break my personal weight gain record of 10lbs in 6 weeks. Smash it!!!
Great video!! Keep posting....you are articulate in your thought process and I was able to eliminate the guess work.
You cannot Simply apply this info on everybody, i do 2 hour and a half 3 day a weeks and i got gains constantly in the past Teo years
il Teschio I do exactly the same
Same here exactly lol. I noticed most people at my gym usually stay there at least an hour and a half.
It doesn't matter how much time you spend in the gym it's how you train remember. He said you can even over train in 1 hour, which makes sense because someone might be training biceps with very minimal rest for that long.
What important is volume not time. Pay attention.
I do 2hrs everyday is that bad? Cause im so skinny its been 28days since i started
I think duration will also be determined on what your goals are.
My goal was to shed weight, and build strength. I have a staff fitness room at work. I use it for during my unpaid lunch break. 30+ minutes (occasionally sneaking in an extra 10) a day every day I work. Since July I've dropped nearly 40lbs, and notice improvements in my body. I say, whatever time you have to workout, make the most of it, as long as you stick to a routine.
Well done. Kudos to you!
Love your videoâs, thank you for the great effort!
I workout 1.5-2h 5 times a week and I've made more progress than almost everyone at my gym
The same here, but 6 times a week.
I'm at the gym for 2 hours lifting alone
I took the BFL turned it into a full body workout M W F with a 45-60 minute treadmill on Tues & Thurs. within 6 months I went from 247 to 197.
When a person has lifted long enough, they are in tune with their body and know how long is enough.
Thanks man almost all your vids are really helpful for daily life.
đđđIncredible video as you explain everything about losing weight in terms of minutes of exercise and how 45 or 90 min could affect your routine and also how you can do the exercises of different parts of the body that may be better than others. The hormones are completely affected and even if there is a lack of sleep. I liked that you presented clinical studies.
I usually do 45 mins of weights,followed by 20 mins of cardio.
You and AthleanX are my favourites because of how good you are at explaining the science. Understanding the biology helps keep me motivated for some reason

I managed to get my workouts up and over 2 hours while taking literally almost no rest. Iâm talking less than 20 seconds between sets doing upper/lower splits. I switched to doing ppl and was still hitting 2+ hours. All because I feared undertraining.
So now Iâm trying to reduce my overall workload and keep it less than 90 minutes. Will see how it goes
Damn, you should take longer rests (at least on SOME sets where u lift heavier and take long rest times for optimal gains and variety), I wouldnât survive with only all 20 sec rest periods but I mean if it works for u it works.

There is no such thing as an âidealâ amount of time that everyoneâs workout should take. There are too many factors at play that can change things significantly⊠from the exact workout split being used, to each personâs individual experience level, training needs and goals, to factors that we arenât even in control of (e.g. how crowded the gym happens to be, etc.).

I think for beginners like myself, 45-60 min is great for each training. To do that the first 8-16 weeks, and then go up to 1,5 hours. I workout 50 min 3 times a week, and I can see great progress on my biceps and triceps.

@@Imacrackheadehshidhehehfjcsjwb ?
I do 5 sets chest, 4 sets shoulders, 6 sets back and 3 sets for biceps and triceps on my upper body day. I lift heavy, so that means longer rest periods. I could probably do all this within 1.5 hours, but it usually ends up taking 2 hours. I often do a bit of a finisher where on the last set, I drop the weight after failure to do more reps.

I do1-2 hours, depending on my mood and how many days I was able to go to the gym: if itâs a short week, I go 3 days a week and do 1.5 -2 hrs. Iâve Iâm going 4-5 days a week I go for only an hour
Thx man you really helped
I watched 4 videos on workout time, finally got a reasonable answer thanks man đ
Thank you for clearing this issue up. I'm 46 years old and I do a full body routine 3 times a week. Each workout takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Squats alone takes 45 minutes. Thanks again for this very informative video.
Same...
So you almost 50 now and still gym?
@@DragracerSA Yes, I'll be 50 in September, and still going strong in the gym...100kg bench press, 140kg squat, 200kg deadlift đȘ
@@stuartrangihuna8206 thats good to hear man glad you still keeping up shape..probably looking real buffed..so I started to gym yesterday i made a life choice to start a new journey..i sold all my gaming stuff it held me back from everything and everyone..so yesterday i started to gym..any tips for me ? What to eat..what not to eat...how many portions of what etc ?
@@DragracerSA Hi Krauss, that is awesome! I wish you all the very best with going to the gym. You will be healthier, stronger, and feel better about yourself.
My advice would be to follow a full body program, 3 days a week (Mon, Weds, Fri).
As a beginner, a full body routine will hit each muscle group 3 times a week, which is optimal for building muscle.
Just Google full body programs or look on CZcams, and find one you like.
Make sure the workout includes exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench press, barbell rows and overhead press.
These exercises are compound exercises, which work a lot of the muscles in your body.
Make sure that someone teaches you properly how to do the exercises or look on CZcams for any tutorials.
The massive iron channel on CZcams has some good workouts and tips.
With your nutrition, just try to eat plenty of protein (1 gram per pound of body weight).
Complex carbohydrates like potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice etc.
Healthy fats like olive oil, eggs, sardines, etc.
Just eat things you enjoy that are healthy and good for building muscle.
Going to the gym is a commitment, you have to be consistent with your training if you want to see good results.
Doing the hardest things in life builds character, that is why not many people do what is hard.
Going to the gym is hard work, but rewarding in so many ways.
I hope this helps...all the best Krauss!
5 minutes of warm up (any cardio) + 30 minutes of weight lifting + 30 minutes of cardio works best for me (my target is to lose fat while growing muscle)
I do 3 to 4 hours lol...
@@TheSushiandme Thats just insane
Good video đđŒ
Very informative.... thanks
I tried 45 mins and I just can not get everything packed into that short amount of time and have recovery mins between sets
Great vid .,this helps lots .,
thanks ! you're the best
Iâve been doing a full body routine 3x per week and it takes me two hours to complete. Iâm going to change to 6x per week and hopefully go for 50-60 minutes each session. I think Iâll get more volume for each muscle group doing this.
24 hrs is not enough for muscle to rest
@@SuperMrAndersen You are correct, but Iâm not doing full body days anymore. Now Iâm doing pull, push, legs, rest, repeat. And these workouts are taking about 70 minutes. A little longer than Iâd like, but better than 2 hours.
@@boblangford5514 I'm 50 yo and have to rest 3 minutes đ So it takes me hour and a half minimum, although I do only pull ups and push. I run for legs and endurance
@@SuperMrAndersen I rest for 1-2 minutes between each set. Right now, Iâm actually recovering from tennis elbow, so Iâm lifting about 75% the weight I was lifting a few months ago and also doing some rehab exercises. Iâm gradually increasing the weight, only like 1-2 pounds every week. Iâm hoping this tennis elbow will be gone in another 3-4 months so I can get back to lifting what I was.
@@boblangford5514 I have Golfer's elbow for a year already. It's painful to do push ups. Sometimes very painful. Especially when I go to the gym every other day. I don't know what to do with it. Only rest when on vocation for a week helps, but no cure.
3-4 top hours a day. Make the goal of your workout to get your heart beating as fast and as long as long as you can. The rush is amazing. I've walked miles to the gym feeling like I want to die then felt genuanly happy afterwords
Thanks you for share the information with us :3
Nice my bro đȘđ»đ„
45 mins is enough time if you're taking a great pre workout and blasting through sets. I'd say 1 - 1.5 hour(s) is a more appropriate length of time if you're not.
I agree. My workouts usually takes between 60 - 90 minutes.
Yes well...
Technically 45 mins workout is fine if its only workout and less talking/resting. While I usually spend 60 minute plus at gym,that includes running at treadmill, warm-up and stretching and 45 mins workout
I think it depends on how fast you need to see the results i only work out for 40 min took me 5 years to see the result and i lost all of it in a 1 month vacation.....
Thanks bro đđŒ
Thank you buddy đ„
what if your powerlifting and you need 3-5min rest intervals to recover properly. I do both deadlifts and sqauts on the same day and I can take up to 2 hours just to leave the gym.
Richard Beckley squatting and deadlifting in the same session is bad for your lower back
@@LeonGF25 no it's not...... squatting and deadlifts don't damage your back... if you damage your back you did the exercise wrong
yeah dude it takes me like a hour and a half to just do bench,dumbell bench,dumbell shoulders. i do about 2-3hour workouts
Yeah, I bench and deadlift in the same session and it takes me over 90 minutes to finish (not just because of those two)
Yea this video is flawed to the max. It might be good for plebs but not for those who want to maximize strength.
Pls make one video on puking caused due to slightly heavily lifting.
That only happened to me when I first started lifting. Baby steps if you're a beginner. Go easy on yourself cause your body needs time to adapt and cope with the stress. Don't eat big meals (or at least have a 2-hour interval) before working out. Keep yourself hydrated all the time when working out but don't drink too much to the point you feel like puking.
If these can't help, go see a doctor.
Brazil here, thank you teacher
Extremely informative
45 minutes? Yeah good luck with that.
@newlevel81 you tell him ;)
explanation please! everybody!
@@sophieschollsreinkarnation5078 45 minutes every day in my lunch break works great for me ;)
toshbg same 45 to hour everyday though no breaks.
@@nl5607
Would you recommend the same for females? Trying to build that booty, but also get abs, any advice?
In 45 minutes i can barely do 5 exercises with 3 sets and 2 minutes pause between sets. This is not enough for me
The question is really not about exercise alone but mostly about your life. I walk 3 minutes to my local gym, which means that if I workout for roughly 90 minutes per day from 6-7:30 am - I effectively spend 2 hours to workout. That's definetly something to take into consideration but what's probably even more important if the type of workout one chooses. Some people may work out 3 days/week, some 6/week - it absolutely depends on the type of training you so. If I do a lot of full body and little isolation, I can workout for less time but actually hit a lot of the same muscles I would in a more complicated push pull legs split. If you struggle with time, consider what your options are and what exercises are effective and fun for you to do.
Always wait your video every single day
I do one hour of weights alone, abs and then 10-15 of cardio so is about 1:20 sometimes 1:30
