The more efficient your lifestyle, the less you need to “work out”

As a professional trainer, this is my split:
- 3-4 strength sessions per week, split into upper push/upper pull/legs/shoulders
- 1-2 long distance road cycling per week, 30mi+
- 1 golf practice per week, ~2-3 hours short game & full swing
- 1-2 rounds of golf per week

Even that is kind of a lot. I added 1-2 strength sessions/week in the summer because business slows down a lot as people are traveling

But what glues all this together is 1) nutrition. I eat a primarily whole food diet that’s dense with nutrients and stay far far away from most processed foods

2) my lifestyle is highly active, at the gym I’m on my feet most of the day, and if I’m cycling or golfing that’s just more energy expenditure

You have to remember that workouts (exercise) really should only be accessory to an active lifestyle. If your sense of activity only involves structured exercise,
You’re leaving a lot on the table
