I've been wondering how long a beginner workout should actually last because some routines online look like they take forever 😭 I don't wanna spend two hours at the gym when I'm still learning the basics. I'm trying to find a routine that feels productive without completely draining me. How long were your workouts when you first started training?

I started with around 45 minutes and honestly that was more than enough 😭 You don't need to spend hours at the gym as a beginner just focus on learning the exercises and staying consistent 💪

Bro my first workouts were barely 30 minutes because I spent half the time figuring out what I was doing 💀

Honestly 30 to 60 minutes is plenty depending on your routine and rest times

I used to think longer workouts meant better results but consistency matters way more

Ngl I still prefer shorter workouts because I can actually stick to them without making excuses

Start with 4 or 5 exercises and focus on your form instead of trying to do everything at once

Do you plan your workouts beforehand or just figure out what to do when you get to the gym?

Honestly my first workouts were around 30 minutes and I slowly increased the duration as I got more comfortable with the exercises 😭 No need to rush into long sessions when you're just starting out 💪
