Do you prefer longer workouts or shorter workouts?

[thegreenyogi]

By long I mean ( 60 minutes). By short I mean ( 15-20 minutes).

[HighValue]

Both. It usually depends on how I feel that day and how much time I have available. It also depends on if I am going to do multiple exercises that day, or just one type. I try to vary it, for example, normally choosing a weight that I can do 4 sets of 25 reps, or two sets of 35 reps and one set of 30 reps, or 4 sets of 50 reps is what I do, but other times I just grab a light weight and do almost as many reps as I can in one set, usually around the 200 to 250 rep range. That is usually for curls, back arms, bench press, and calf lifts when I vary it from high to low reps on different days. When it is too hot I am more likely to just do one light weight long set and quit because I really don't like exercising much in the heat.

It depends on how much time I have and the weather. I will do a gym workout 1-2 times a week (weights etc.) for an hour and then hot the sauna and steam room. On the other 5 days I like to run, bike or swim and those thend to be longer workouts

[IslaTheWitch]

I prefer longer... I do a gym routine 3 times per week as my core muscles are a total mess... so only warming up on orbital takes 20 mins... then 2km rowing (about 12 minutes) and then some exercises on my thighs and ass - circa 30 mins, then hands and chest and upper back another 30 mins and in the end my abs and lower back - 20 minutes

I definitely like more longer workouts :D

A variation, you mix n match, sometimes you have the time for a longer session, other times short. Also weather can be a deciding factor if it’s raining n cold and you spent ages getting there, then a longer session is more sensible. I do the same with runs, usually a 5km but then do 10km in between or if feel like a good long run might do longer, the latter usually if running with someone.

I only do long workouts. 60-75 minutes (been aiming for 90) and go to the gym at least 5-6 days a week but if I can manage 7 then I will.

I prefer longer workouts even if I hit my target before the hour is over.

[pascal_climbs]

I usually train for 60-120 min. Climbing sessions are always 2h+

[LiamJHayden]

It depends. Cardio (usually running for me) and abs longer. Upper and lower, I prefers more weight and fewer reps.

[jahaims]

Days I do just cardio are around 3 4 minute miles on a stationary. When I do body weight exercises I stretch the workout out

[Staximus]

Exercise regimens get in the way of my eating regimen

more reps, less sets and songs

Effective workouts. It can be a 15 min HIIT workout or a 3.5 hour upper body sesh

[thisAppIsGarbage]

If you can't get it done in 45 minutes you are wasting all of our time.

[bluelxthk]

I prefer longer workouts less frequently, but I understand it can also be effective to do more often shorter workouts
