Time spent on treadmill = 15 minutes

Time spent screwing around on the weight machines = 15 minutes

Time spent taking selfies in locker room to post on Instagram = 1 hour

Time spent talking on phone = 1.5 hours

Time spent in gym cafe photographing and drinking 900 calorie smoothie to replenish sugars lost during exercise, while talking to others engaged in the same activity = 2 hours

That is probably pretty accurate lol. That got me thinking about a recent gym experience. I do these little "circuits" when I work out. So the one that day was like 20 lunges, 60 second plank and 100' farmer carry. I would do this 5 times. I started my first farmer carry and when I got to the far side of the gym I saw this absolute barge of a woman sitting on a machine. Then I would walk back and do my other moves and then farmer carry again. She stayed absolutely still the entire duration of that circuit. Never saw her lift anything the 5 times I walked down and back. The whole thing was about 20 minutes or so.

Then she probably factors that time sitting on a machine to her total workout. So I suppose I can see how diluted they could be.

Shit, when I started doing stronglifts 5x5 I would take 1.5 hours in the gym, but that's because squatting every day I went and increasing the weight every day fucked my shit so I was taking 5 minute rests between sets.

That program can be a crapload of work. You need that kind of rest to get through the prescribed sets.
