How long should a workout be?
Workout Duration
The ideal workout length depends on your fitness goals, but generally, aim for 30 to 60 minutes per session. Key considerations:
- For beginners: 30 minutes of moderate exercise is a good starting point.
- For fat loss: 45-60 minutes, including both cardio and strength training.
- For muscle building: 45-75 minutes focusing on strength training with proper rest between sets.
- High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): These workouts can be effective in as little as 20 minutes due to their intensity.
