When it comes to exercise, QUALITY always beats QUANTITY. Somewhere along the line in the fitness community someone decided that an hour was the standard duration of time for a workout. The best way to judge the effectiveness of a workout is to analyze the intensity level of every minute of that workout. If you can burn twice the amount of calories per minute in a workout then you can reduce the duration of a session by half and still end up with the same (and actually even better) results.
Tip: Focus on the intensity of your workout instead of wasting valuable training time socializing or watching TV...Unless that is your GOAL?
