But if I start to go pretty long , I start to feel achy or I start to have problems . So again , depending upon age that also plays a factor in the length , but again , I think everybody can achieve on , on a standard program can achieve the results that they want within an hour .
And in terms of the duration of those workouts , what's your suggestion ? I , I've been weight training for about 30 years running for about 30 years . Um and mainly for health and have found that if I work hard in the gym or at resistance training for more than 60 minutes or so , it's very hard for me to recover .
I feel great and I seem to make some progress at least someplace in the workout from workout to workout . Yeah . I mean , it's , those are good numbers because those are the kind of numbers that we usually preach , we try to keep our workouts to an hour or less if possible .
Um That and again , if you're training primarily for strength , that could prolong the workout cause the longer rest time in between sets . But in general , when you're not focused on that one aspect , but the overall health picture , then you can get the job done in , in under , in under an hour . And again , I always say on top of if , if you wanna look like an athlete train like an athlete is you can either train long or you can train hard , but you can't do both .
So if you look at it over the course of a training week , I mean , five days in a gym would be a great task , you know , obviously not in the gym , it could be done at home , but three days strain training Monday , Wednesday , Friday conditioning , Tuesday , Thursday , you know , two days , it's a , it's a pretty easy roundabout way to split that up , of course , depending upon training goals . And as you said , the aesthetic goals like that will shift dramatically . But if you want to see the benefits of both , that's probably the , the effective dose for strength training and the effective dose for conditioning at the bare minimum level .
