Question: How long should a good workout be?
Answer: I would say about 3 hours! I’m totally kidding…if you know me, you know my philosophy is “train smarter, not harder” and I would much prefer that my life NOT be spent in the gym. The truth is that the length of a workout will depend on 1) what you’re doing (is it a weight training workout, are you adding in extra cardio, will you be stretching) and 2) how long your rests are. First off, a weight training workout typically takes me between 35-45 minutes, which is my sweet spot; it’s all you need to get in a great workout, but I personally like to keep it compact because it energizes and motivates me to get to the gym, give it my all for about 40 minutes, then get on with my day. It’s a great way to learn to love the gym without having to be there for long periods of time. If I add in a cardio or stretching after, it can get a bit longer. I do not suggest going over an hour; studies have shown that there is a point (after an hour-ish) that the benefits of a workout plumit. Secondly, the workout length will largely depend on how long of rests you take in between sets. This is where I suggest placing your focus to cut down on the duration of your workout, but also to turn up the intensity. Shorter rests will not only equate to a shorter workout, but it also will force your heart to work a little harder; adding in a cardiovascular component will create a greater calorie burn throughout and after the workout!
