Introduction

• You find people working out before you even started your warm-up
and even working out after you finish your every set of workouts.
So, why do people workout longer or shorter? Well, it depends
upon the goal of workouts and whether you are a beginner or
professional.

• Now the question comes if you are a beginner, then how long
should you workout at the gym? Or, if you are a professional then
how long? If you are confused then you won't be after reading this
article. I am here to clear out your issues on how long should you
workout at the gym.
• It also depends on the situation whether you are looking for
bulking or weight loss because if you want to bulk then you
shouldn't train more instead you have to eat more. And
likewise for weight loss training more and losing more calorie
is the best way.

• It’s not always about the amount of time your train, It’s about
the quality of your workout and having positive results.
How long should you workout at the gym?

• It might be the most frequently heard question from your gym

mates, which depends upon every individual. There are some
factors that can filter the workout time for an individual to
determine how long should you workout at the gym:
1. Level of Fitness (Beginner)

• The most primary and basic thing to consider is the level of your fitness,
whether you are beginner or professional. In case you are new to gym then
training for hours might be risky to your body. You might get negative impacts
and would hate the workout at the moment. For a beginner, it is better if your
workout basics, i.e., (warm-up/cocktail) workouts for 3-4 days straight.

• This will warm-up your body muscle and prepare for hard workouts to actually
make some changes to the body. If you train hard on day 1 then it is sure you
will be lying on the bed for rest of the day. So, always warm-up your muscles
before a workout. It prevents injuries and increases your passion for workout.

• Now, a beginner should spend about 30-45 minutes with the rest of 1-1.5
minutes after each set. Every exercise should be performed only under the
recommendation of fitness trainer.
2. Level of Fitness (Professional)

• Now, in case you are a trained professional and been training for many
years, 30-45 minutes would be your warm-up and cardio time. If you are
looking for weight loss and cutting your muscles then you better workout
more than 90 minutes because you need to train more number of sets
and repetition, and also you need to provide more time for cardio
exercises.

• On the other hand, if you wish to bulk and adding muscles then train
about 60 minutes to 90 minutes a day. You would need focus and
concentration during your workout. Your repetition speed should be
slower and should workout with heavyweights. And definitely you have
to eat like a monster.
3. Types of Workout

• Well, this definitely affects the time table of your workout. You can
assume cardio and weight lifting workout as a type of workout. In
cardio, you can lose 100 calories in 5 minutes as well as 100 calories in
20 minutes.

• Suppose you are running in a treadmill with a speed of 20 miles per

hour; it surely will cover 100 calories within 5 minutes, but running 5
miles per hour requires longer time period. It also depends on which
workout are you performing. If you are performing burpees then you can
lose more calories in short period time and if you are performing normal
crunches then you need to work longer.
• Likewise, on weight lifting workout, there comes a high-
intensity workout and low-intensity workout. Low-intensity
are those kinds of workout where your heartbeat rate is
below 50% and where you workout with less weight. Whereas,
high-intensity are those where your heartbeat rate is above
70% where you workout with heavy and high weights.

• You might need more time for a high-intensity workout

because you need more rest time in between the sets. But, in
low-intensity workout, you are calm throughout the workout
and can easily complete the sets with short amount of rest
time.
4. One muscle a day or Two muscle a day

• You can find people who are not sufficient with working one
muscle a day so they workout two muscle a day, i.e. chest and
triceps, back and biceps, shoulder and legs. Surely, person who
does two muscles a day needs double of time to workout than
person who workouts one muscle a day.
5. Types of People at the Gym

• Some people consider gym clubs as their workout platform whereas some
people consider as meet up a platform where they can meet up with friends and
have a chit chat and make plans for the night or next day.

• And then comes fitness models, these are the most irritating people at gym
clubs hanging with their smartphones taking mirror selfies and videos. These
people train less and capture more. These kinds of people spend more time
hanging around the gym clubs and talking to their partners.

• Those who are really serious to their fitness and leaves the smartphone of their
locker, they are very focused on the workout and finishes faster than other
peoples.
Focus on your workout not the time you
spend

• Actually checking your workout time is a total foolishness. Really

there is no time limit in training. You may encounter many
situation that will consume your time while workout such as:
• 1. Running for wash room
• 2. Drinking water
• 3. Warm-up sets
• 4. Time to change your clothes
• 5. Rest between sets
• 6. You might need to wait for your turn
• So, there is no any exact meaning of time that any
individual can manage to their workout. Sometimes it might
be soon over and sometimes you might take longer.

• The only thing it matters is to workout every set correctly

targeting your specific goal of fitness.
How long will it generally take to workout?

• On average, it takes in between 45 minutes to 90 minutes.

Whatever or however your workout routine might be excluding
cardio, you can easily cover your workout with in that time.

• Basically, there is no such thing as workout time, there is only

workout routines that you need to follow and complete at that
day. Just believe in yourself and keep on training until your sets
are over and until the feeling of satisfaction comes over you.
Conclusion

• Don't take watch or mobile phones with you while workout so that
you won't have to see the time you have workout. Always train
hard and give your best and you will automatically feel the change
on your body.

• So, which muscle are you training today?
