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 . And I really believe that the focus for me , I have a busy life .
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 start getting colds , I start getting weaker from workout to workout .
Now , depending upon the split that you're following , if you're on a total body split , there's just gonna be more that has to be done in a given amount of time . 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 .
Again , being a much better performer , conditioning wise , you're gonna wanna do more than that . 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 , I , I think it's like a 6040 split , which would be leaning towards , uh , weight training , you know , strength and , and , and , uh , and then , you know , the conditioning aspect be about 40% . 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 .
