Keeping the work out under 60 minutes

coolnick Posts: 55 Joined: 2003/03/24	2003/04/29, 01:37 PM I was told that my work out should not be any longer than one hour (not include the cardio)! My work out usually last for an hour and 1/2. . Any tips to keep it under the hour ? I work out 4 times a week, and I work out every muscle once. Thanks

Sometimes I have no choice, otherwise I won't make my next set. I like to follow up the program was designed for me? Any suggestion would be appreciated, Thanks

Also concentrate on getting the muscle to failure/growth in the quickest possible time and dont waste time on pointless sets were you use poor form which lack intensity. I would consider myself quite anti-social in the gym - there is very little small talk with other gym members except for a polite hello. Get in - work out - and get out...its the only way to progress and reach your goals. good luck
