FAQ’S
Read some of the answers to these Frequently Asked Questions to add to your knowledge about
today’s topic:
Answer: Less frequently than you might think. And it’s certainly not the case that more is better.
That’s because it’s actually when you’re recovering that your muscle size and strength increase. If
you don’t take the time to recover sufficiently you won’t see improvements.
It’s not just your muscles that need time to recover; your nervous system is working hard to recruit
your muscles, something it’s not used to doing, so it also needs time to recover.
Answer: The perfect workout should take less than an hour to complete, including warm-up, warm-
down, and stretching. Research suggests that your levels of the growth hormone testosterone peak
around 45 minutes into a workout and then quickly subside as your levels of cortisol, the stress
hormone that breaks down muscle tissue and damages cells, rise. So keep your workouts short and
effective.
