How long should your workout be?
There’s no exact right answer.
The ideal length of your workouts depends on your goals, training phase, how advanced you are as a lifter, and also how much time you have to devote to training. Unless you can organize your life around your training, it makes sense keep your workouts efficient, while also making sure you’re putting in enough time to get the results you want.
This is especially true when research tells us that exercise bouts as short as 2 minutes can provide real benefits.
This video can help you decide if your workouts are the right length for you to get the results you want. Watch to learn more!

About me: I’m a Strength Coach and Personal Trainer, and I love my job. I have degrees in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology, and have been helping people get stronger and move better full-time since 2009. Through working with all kinds of different people ranging from elite basketball athletes to active seniors, I’ve learned that the “secret” to effective training is to take a long-term approach. The day you stop training is the day you stop improving, so training programs must be structured in a way that keeps our joints healthy and mind engaged while we build a strong and powerful body. Through sharing information and training tips here, I hope to help more people train for the rest of their lives.
