How much time do you spend working out?

[patscorpio]

if its my lifting week - 1 hr and a half
if its my cardio/calisthenics/boxing week - 2 hrs to 2hrs and 15 mins

Hour and a half to 2 hours, 3 days a week. I try to keep it to an hour and a half at most though, I don't have time for more than that. And I'm going to try to work harder and faster within the next week or so (I just started lifting again about a month ago, so I've been rigorous, but also trying to figure out what I can and can't do weight wise so I know where to build from).

Go by yourself, time it correctly so few people are there when you're trying to get your workout done, and go as hard as possible. No need for bullshytting.

bout a hr i do high intensity workouts with very little rest so it impacts me harder and better

I only go to the gym 3-4 days a week; 2 hours still seems like just an inordinate amount of time to me.

What are people doing in 2 hours that they can't get done in 1/2 the time?

I know people who play basketball, swim, or do something like boxing in addition to lifting. They still might do a short run. For some people, they actually like the gym/it isn't a chore and they have a lifestyle that offers the freedom.

I know plenty of people that do those things also and they still aren't in the gym for 2 hours at a time every time they go, but different strokes and all that jazz.

To the bold, precisely! How and why people spend more time than me in the gym is literally no sweat off of my back. If it works for them, who am I to judge.

Do you have 20 inch arms? You can cut that arm and chest volume in half. Unless you are juicing then disregard.

I spend about 1 hour - 1.5 in the gym depending on condition and which block wave I'm in.

An hour & a half to 2 hours, 3 days a week. :cenasabo:

Heavy weight, high controlled reps. No cardio as of late.

I try to keep it at and hour and 75 minutes max.

I think after an hour you start getting diminishing returns.

 

[ilovejesus]

an hour or less.
In my opinion if it takes you longer than an hour your intensity is too low.

and where did you read this opinion?


For me It depends how many muscle groups I'm workin on. Also depends if I'm doing low reps or high reps. on average 2 hours. Includes 10 min warm up and 10 min cool down.
