I have a lot of other things that I do , believe it or not . And it's like I , I wanna go hard and I wanna go get out and I find that my body also responds to that and I think a lot of guys bodies respond to that and particularly as you start to get older , I think it's the , it's the length of the workout that actually causes more problems than the intensity of what you're doing , particularly if you're warmed up properly . Like you said , I found personally that my warm up has had to become more of an integral part of my , my workout than it ever has before .
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 .
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 .
I start getting colds , I start getting weaker from workout to workout . But amazingly , at least to me , if I keep those workouts to about 10 minutes , 10 minutes of warm up and 55 0 minutes or so , of really hard work for resistance training . And I keep the cardiovascular work to about 30 to 45 minutes .
