If your trainer is telling you 2.5 hours of training is good…it may be time to look for a new trainer. You will burn out quick and stop making progress is you keep working at that pace. my trainer isnt around much (roll eyes) thats why I went to talk to the one at the gym. she gave me a lot of good pointers that I did not know before. 2.5-3 hours is how much I like to work out a day, not someone telling me. I rotate routines. Slowed down my cardio from 1 a day to 30 min. Im not tryin to lose weight, but to gain it instead. I LOVE to work out and sweat…so its hard for me to cut out after an hour or so. Like last night I was only there for about an hour and felt like I did nothin after I left. I try to get a good 4-5 days in a week. 2-3 of them are week days after work so thats when I can only fit in an hour or so workout. on the weekends I spend 2-3. I didnt think that was too much…? ---

I didnt think that was too much…? 2.5-3 hours of training is too much…I say (depending on the person) 1-1.5 hours is enough. Working out longer than that is a waste and will end up being counter productive. A good way to tell if you are overtraining is if your progress seems to stall, your mood isnt as good, decreased appetite, ect. It is good that you love to work hard but you gotta keep in mind more isnt better. If it is working for you and you are honestly continuing to make gains then you are doing OK. ---
