I do daily 30 minute workouts only bc I’m chained to my desk all day and barely have time for a walk (plus it’s cold). So that’s my only movement. I try to get in an hour workout at least once a weekend (boxing or orange theory).

It depends how are you’re willing to go in 30 minutes. If you’re willing to go all out for 30 minutes, nothing left, dripping in sweat - then do that. But if it’s the same intensity as your hour workouts - do that.

I might try somewhere in the middle - 2 hour long workouts and 3 30 minutes. get some intensity and some volume in there. ideal is hitting 4-6 days a week. very few people should hit 7, including professional athletes.

Depends on your goals. Intensity, duration and frequency all places different types of stress on your body.

What do you want to do? Lose weight? Run faster? Run longer? Hold muscle? Get lean? Get healthy?

I just went back and reviewed the document and I frankly don’t see where she got any of these comments. I missed a single pincite in a string cite. I don’t have this issue with any other (cont
