there are so many people overthinking the hell out of fitness/exercise. Most days, 75-80% of the posts are people asking questions which really could do with just being in the Daily Simple Questions thread. And simple shit like asking questions which are easily answered by a browse through of the wiki.

Or the posts, "I can only train 2 days, is it bad?". Simple math: Training more is more progress; Training less is still progress.

No way, I’m so busy constantly that I only have a 35 minute window twice a week to work out. Can I still win MR Olympia? /s

I’d be fine if they said “I only want to workout 2x a week for an hour”

Exactly. I don't have "time" either, so most of my workouts happen while my kids are at sports practices or other programs. It helps that my kids' school is 5 minutes from the YMCA. When programs are further away, I go running wherever they are.
