Efficient Strength Training

I train with weights once in 5-7 days with 8-10 minutes of time under load and 20-25 minutes in the gym. It has been enough to steadily improve my results for the last 3 years. So I suspect that so-called lack of will power is just a signal from the body that one doing something too often.

At least for the last one: I can’t recommend enough just going for it, not being afraid of getting it wrong. The health benefits of weight training are very well documented, it leads to a longer life and slower aging, which will give you more time for the other topics! And you’ll feel better to boot. Give it a go, treat it like a puzzle, you can do it. It’s a skill you continuously hone. After you’ve learned the basics it can be done under 1h per session, and 3 times per week is already huge. Ev

Not gonna walk around for 22 minutes, it's boring. I can barely get myself to exercise regularly, so I go on hikes on the weekend. During the day I do pushups, pullups, overhead press, squats, jump tucks. But I only do 10-20 reps per day (total); sometimes I only do 5. Surprisingly, I'm getting stronger every few weeks (can do more reps). And I'm a stronger hiker than anyone I know. So, if I die early, so be it.

I'd strongly second resistance training, it doesn't really take that much time either.A simple program like Starting Strength will have you train for not much more than 60 minutes three days a week and you'll make significant strength gains up to 1.5x body weight easily.

I've tried many of those exercises and I agree that you can easily do 15 minutes the first time. Consistency is the problem I found. When I started at 30 seconds and built up slowly, I found it much easier to build a habit and do it consistently. Again I use the weightlifting analogy - I can squat close to my body weight, without any warm up, when I'm out of shape. But I can only do it once and I need a week to recover and I'm likely to injure myself. If I start with the empty bar

Starting Strength uses compound lifts that go through the full range of motion for that reason. It takes ~3 hours a week. I’m sure doing cardio a lot would be better again but you can get a big improvement going from sedentary to three hours of vigorous exercise a week.

Do few repeats (around 9-15, do them until you can't do it anymore) but with more weight. Add more weight everyday you go to the gym. Worked for me.

I go to a gym once a week. When I started 5 years ago, I was spending like 20 minutes doing high-intensity strength training. It was enough to make a steady progress and build muscles albeit slowly. After 4 years I hit a plateau. So now I spend like 50 minutes in a gym still once a week to continue the process.I doubt that I can stick to anything that requires more frequent efforts. 15 years ago I begun to train karate, but training twice a week for 2 hours was too much so I eventually droppe

Have you tried lifting weights (different pace than HIT)?

Lifting heavy weights on 5/3/1 or Starting Strength or similar. I'd be a BEAST by now.
