Workout Time Length?

manshack_one Posts: 10 Joined: 2004/07/23	2004/09/02, 11:15 AM How long should it take you to do one session with the FT program? I need to get it down to 30-45 minutes if possible. The first couple of sessions have taken a long time because I'm still getting familiar with the equipment.

As an example, if one goes to the gym, with a 5 day program you will be out of there within an hour. If you are on a 3 day, you might be in there for 90 min. Once you get used to the equipment, taht will speed things up also. I am also including cardio with those examples. But like I said, it all all depends on the program and your goals. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

I'm getting a treadmill so I can do my cardio at home. I only get an hour for lunch so that's what I'm going to have to squeeze it into. As long as I don't spread the exercises too far apart I think I'll make it. I'm on the 3day program by the way. So I just need to get the actual weight lifting exercises down to 45 minutes.
