Episode 2719:

Christian Finn explores the ideal workout duration for muscle building, emphasizing that the perfect length varies based on individual goals, training frequency, and workout style. He explains that while 45 to 90 minutes is often sufficient, the time needed can differ depending on factors like the intensity of your regimen and how quickly you aim to see results.

Quotes to ponder:

"On average, the ideal workout duration is going to be somewhere between 45 and 90 minutes. For most people, that’s long enough to get the job done."

"Your goals should dictate the type of training schedule you follow, and the length of your workouts will vary depending on what those goals are."

"As long as your overall training program is set up properly, your workout duration isn’t something you need to spend any time worrying about."
