I think it's like a 60-40 split, which would be leaning towards weight training, you know, strength and then, you know, the conditioning aspect be about 40%.

So if you look at it over the course of a training week, I mean, five days in a gym would be a great task.

And obviously not in the gym, it could be done at home.

Three-day strength training, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Conditioning, Tuesday, Thursday, two days.

It's a pretty easy roundabout way to split that up, of course, depending upon training goals.

And as you said, the aesthetic goals, that will shift dramatically.

But if you want to see the benefits of both, that's probably the...

the effective dose for strength training and the effective dose for conditioning at the bare minimum level.

We try to keep our workouts to an hour or less if possible.

Now, depending upon the split that you're following, if you're on a total body split, there's just going to be more that has to be done in a given amount of time.

But in general, when you're not focused on that one aspect, but the overall health picture, then

you can get the job done in under an hour.

And again, I always say on top of if you want to look like an athlete, train like an athlete, is you can either train long or you can train hard, but you can't do both.

As you start to get older, it's the length of the workout that actually causes more problems than the intensity of what you're doing.

Particularly if you're warmed up properly, like you said.

I've found personally that my warmup has had to become more of an integral part of my workout than it ever has before.

For me, the first rule is, will you stick to it?

I don't particularly like full body splits.

I don't necessarily like to have to train everything.
