Keep Strength Sessions to 60 Minutes
Keep the hard work portion of resistance or strength training to roughly 45–60 minutes, and generally avoid pushing past about an hour unless there is a specific reason to do so. The idea is that shorter sessions are easier to recover from and may help avoid the fatigue, elevated stress response, and stalled progress that can come with overly long workouts.
