How much is enough? Time? Effort?
I’ve always thought I exercised enough.
I lifted 4 or five days a week for about an hour at a time (total time, including changing and showering). I took it easy otherwise.
Over the past couple weeks I’m thinking that I’m not pushing myself hard enough.
I started reading about the value of volume in lifting, and then that volume doesn’t count until you’re hitting the point of exhaustion. And then I started doing cardio, which I’d ignored for a long, long time.
So—how much is enough?
