Q: I’ve read that you believe that trainers shouldn’t spend more than 4-5 hours in a gym per week. Can you explain why? I love the gym. I love going to the gym. I know that the body needs rest but only 4-5 hours a week? I go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week spending about 2hrs in there each time (although a good 1/2hr is devoted to abs). Every 8-10 weeks of training I take a a good 7-10 days off. This cycle has worked well for me for I have yet hit a plateau (20yrs old, training real seriously for 6 months). Do you think I should cut down?
