If I can get to the gym 3-4 days a week and spend 50 minutes to an hour and a half, irrespective of whether I lift something or not, I'm getting in shape.
It's very difficult for my body to recover after workouts now that I'm older, so we have to keep them short, which means they're extremely difficult and intense. It sucks.
Gym sessions will always consist of 40 minutes to one-hour cardio. I try to stay off the treadmill because of the pounding, so it's the rower or the cross-trainer.
In my day, at 12 years old, which was 38 years ago, we worked out in summer months for two and a half hours. Today someone in that age group might work out for four hours, two hours in the morning and two at night.
I train five days a week hard - but it is short and sharp - 30 to 40 minutes of functional and pretty dynamic body-strength circuits, then I do a good yoga session on the sixth day, then I rest.
I hate the treadmill. I hate it. You really don't have to be on it that long, something like 20 or 30 minutes. It's all about getting your heart rate up.
I spend about two hours every time when I'm in the gym.
I go to the gym three times a week and do Pilates three times a week, but not for more than an hour. It's not healthy.
One of the reasons so many people fail is they get on this treadmill for an hour or an hour and a half. That's totally unnecessary. If it's cardiovascular, you don't need more than 15 to 17 or 18 minutes if it's vigorous.
The absolute minimum for effective exercise is three times a week on alternate days for at least half an hour.
I can only work out for so long before I start to really feel the effects.
I'm sort of a gym buff. It's a stress relief for me. But I only go for 20 minutes at a time.
I used to only train 30 minutes a day.
George W. Bush says he spends sixty to ninety minutes a day working out. He says he works out because it clears his mind. Sometimes just a little too much.
