FitnessBytes with Wes Ferguson

Maybe it’s not fair to generalize. But let’s face it: people either want a body like Enrique Iglesias, or want a body like Enrique’s on top of them. Checkin’ both boxes over here! Lots of people start a new year off with high hopes of getting back to the gym — or getting into the gym for the first time. This is where people absolutely kill it for a few weeks before the frantic pace of their approach quickly burns them out and they stop working out by mid-February. True story! There’s no need to go at for hours at a time, seven days a week like a maniac. It’s better to work out at a higher intensity for a shorter amount of time, because science. Your body can only handle so much before fatigue. Hit it hard for about 30-40 minutes. Done.

“Though the tendency of some people who really want to get a lot out of their workouts is to spend a lot of time at the gym, the truth is that after 30 or 40 minutes, the benefit isn’t as great. To go that long, you’d have to lower the intensity of the workout, and that means that you’re spending too much time working out.” [source]
