Based on some interesting conversations on another thread I thought it might be entertaining to see how much time our community invests into training each week.
Hour Per Week
Measuring the number of hours an individual works out is nebulus.
It depends on the type of training an individual does.
Llimit Strength, Power and Speed Training
Approximately an hour of training in these areas amounts to around 15 minues of exercise per hour,
Execise sets with these types of Strength Training is optimized when an exercise set is performed in around 10-15 seconds, not more than 30 seconds.
Rest Periods between set is traditionally 3 minutes or longer.
In one of Pavel's video, he stated that up to 15 minute may be needed to recover between some exercise sets.
HIgh Intensity Interval Training
This is another exercise method in which exercise sprints are completled in 20 minutes or less.
being able to go longer with this type of training means you did not give it your all.
The Question
So, did your really workout out for an hour?
"You Can Train Hard or Long But Not Both."
Vince Gironda
There is an inverse relationship to Time and Intensity.
The See Saw Effect
That means when one goes up, the other goes down.
When Intensity goes up, Time goes down.
When Time goes up, Intensity goes down.
Training Intensity
Without taking into consideration the Intensity, the amount of Time of Training in a workout or week is meaning less.
