i was just wondering how long is too long to spend in the gym at 18. right now i spend about an hour and a half but i would like to spend more if it is still effective to do so. IP: Logged |

 Thats the max I would stay at a gym. I wouldn't try to spend more time at the gym. I'm usually finished in 45 mins. IP: Logged |

It might depend on what type of mood your in. I go in and do my shit, then if I'm in the mood for it I could go do some cardio or chill in the sauna. ------------------ IP: Logged |

The quicker you can get threw a work out and accomplish your work out goal the better one hour is fine as long as you bust your ass. IP: Logged |

im a one hour guy myself..im in, do my thing, and out again. some times i might be 15 minuts longer, some days 15 minutes shorter. it depends on the intensity and such. ------------------ "...damn you for not giving my TEST" - Metallica IP: Logged |

A good time is between 45 min to an hour. Anything longer is pushing it unless your also doing cardio. IP: Logged |

You guys have to be kidding! It's two hours minimum for me. Is there something wrong with me? Am I going too long or what? IP: Logged |

Two hours is a bit excessive. Either you are doing too much in one workout or your intensity is lacking. IP: Logged |

It's likely a bit of both. I usually rest between 2 and 3 minutes between sets. Is this too much? IP: Logged |
