Sanman Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I really think this thread might belong in the "Physical Fitness" section but oh well. Anyway here's how my fiance does it (I join him about 1/2 of the time): 20-30 minutes 4-5 times a week ab training, 30-45 minutes 4-5 times a week cardio and 90 minutes 3 times a week upper body strength training. All in all 9 hours a week (give or take). I too think 3.5 hours a day is a bit excessive, but it's not unreasonable to take time out to devote to physical activity. And considering he's a developmental economist with the IMF, he's definitely not a "cave man walking around in 2011". He's simply a well rounded person. Well, he needs to work off that stress given the issue his boss is currently battling. Maybe a promotion for him soon as there seems to be an opening at the top.
SmileFace Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'm sorry to derail, but how the hell do you find so much time to spend on exercise? haha I was thinking the same thing but I spend 2 hours minimum at the gym ,six days a week and walk about 5 miles outside of the gym daily. It just seems funny on paper. However you have to take into consideration I am single and don't really do anything outside of school and work.
