Okay, so how much time should one spend in a a strength training session? In my personal and professional opinion, and practice, the answer is… as much time as it takes for one to safely work up to a point near, or up to, muscular fatigue.

There are many different roads to achieving muscular fatigue but quite simply the body responds and adapts to stress—period. That is not to say that if you don’t reach muscular fatigue you’re wasting your time, it’s still resistance training and it’s still good for you. But growth and strength come from pushing your limits consistently. I find that most people can effectively reach this point safely, depending upon the movement pattern being conducted, in anywhere from 8-25 mins, per movement pattern.

Understanding this is important especially for those just starting out with strength training because another key to progress, is consistency. When you’re new to training, it’s easy to talk yourself out of training if the sessions are too long or lack intention. Brevity and intensity allow one to keep the session short, thereby increasing their chances of staying consistent with there efforts of building new daily training habits.

In my upcoming book, The Habit Builder for Sustainable Health: A Practical Guide To Fitness & Nutrition For Busy Parents, I explain for you exactly how to build sustainable daily nutritional and fitness habits tailored to your personal lifestyle.

Even when you prioritize health and fitness, the chaos that accompanies parenting life is inescapable at times.

Some nights, life gets away from us and dinner is just whatever we can dig out of the pantry and fridge thrown onto a plate. In our house, we call them “scrounge nights.” And yes, sometimes a scrounge night lands right before Friday night pizza night.

More parents need to hear this: that is completely okay.
You do not need to be super strict with what you eat all the time. In fact, you probably shouldn’t be. Perfection isn’t sustainable when you’re raising kids and juggling work and a busy household.

Sustainable health isn’t built on being 100% dialed in every single day. It’s built on what you do the majority of the time, consistently over time. When your basic, everyday nutritional habits are solid, a scrounge night dinner or a pizza night won’t derail your progress.

Food isn’t meant to be an all-or-nothing emotional battle. Give yourself some grace, enjoy the meals, and make it part of the normal rhythm life on your journey to health and wellness.

My hope for every busy parent is that you learn the truth about getting healthy: you don’t have to punish yourself with long training sessions to shed fat and build muscle—and we definitely need to work on developing a healthy relationship with ALL foods.

When you understand basic physiology and a little math, you can build a strong, lean body in just minutes a day—while keeping family trips to the ice cream shop.

Fitness should serve your life, not consume it.

There’s a difference between cardiovascular exhaustion and muscular failure.

You don’t need to redline your heart rate or drown in sweat to stimulate muscle growth and functional strength. Muscular failure simply means taking a specific muscle group to the point where it cannot complete another repetition with clean form—without leaving your lungs burning.

Why is this so effective for busy parents?

Because when you push a targeted movement to true muscular failure, you recruit your highest-threshold muscle fibers gaining maximum strength and metabolic benefit in a fraction of the time.

Case in point: this entire core session was just 4 sets taken to failure—done in 8 minutes and 34 seconds.

This training, as with all training, should be supported healthy daily eating habits aimed at fueling your body. Train smart, maximize your efficiency, and protect your energy.
