Why I Never Strength Train for More Than 20 Minutes


Listen Later

I’m a physio of 20+ years — and I almost never strength train for more than 20 minutes.

In this episode, I break down:

✔ Why duration doesn’t determine results✔ The science behind shorter, more frequent sessions✔ The law of diminishing returns in strength training✔ Why recovery matters more than smashing yourself✔ How insulin sensitivity improves with frequent training (and why that matters in midlife)✔ The identity shift that changes everything

If you’ve been telling yourself 10–20 minutes isn’t enough, this episode might shift your perspective.
