Calisthenics Unity

Hey Guys!

This is my first time posting to the forum- and I just want to say you guys are all awesome. I'm happy to have been a part of the Unity community, and excited to become active on the forums! My question is, how long does your full body workout last? I'm currently on level 15, and it normally takes me about 2:30 hours to complete. Is this normal, is this how long the workouts are supposed to last roughly? I feel like this is a long time, and I'm just curious of how long it takes you guys to complete a workout. Also any advice on cutting down the workout time would be great. I personally have always taken the full amount of rest time. But I'm probably going to try listening to my body, and adjusting the rest times. I appreciate any advice or responses!

Thank You Guys!

Hey Johnny, I usually take the full rest time with max sets and reps but squeeze it into 2 hours. This probably won't be the case once I start failing levels (I've only been a member for 2 weeks and haven't quite hit my limit). if you're not doing max sets and reps I think you could get it in the 1:30-2:00 range.

It's long for most workouts, but most many people work out around 45-60 minutes each day + warm-up and stretching stuff, so it's not really more, just in larger chunks. You could also combine sets (and do more reps each set) or lower rest time.

Glad to see you're doing well in the program!

First and foremost, congratulations on getting the program, welcome to the community, we're glad to have you here. Full-body workouts that last 2:30 hours is not rare or uncommon. Great answer by Bennet btw, you could cut down time by taking less rest time or doing say one set of push and one set of leg or core on the same set. And taking 1 minute if rest in between. Say you do 6 wide pull-ups and then go straight into doing squats or another leg exercise and after that you take 1minute rest and repeat. Also, you could try doing split workouts. Example: Monday: Push and Pull, Tuesday: Legs and Core, Wednesday: Push and Pull, Thursday: Legs and Core, Friday: Push and Pull, Saturday: Legs and Core, Sunday: Rest. Repeat. Other than that, keep it up Bro. Whatever you need, we're here to answer any questions or doubts you may have. Good luck!

Great replies guys. Thank you! I normally train for around 2 hours as well. Sometimes 2-3.
