How many days a week should I train?

For most professionals, two to three focused strength sessions plus one mobility or stretch input per week is the highest-ROI starting point. Frequency matters less than the quality and consistency of those sessions.

Is 20 minutes of training enough?

A well-designed 30–45 minute session can outperform a poorly designed 90-minute session. What matters is the loading, intent, and recovery — not the calendar block.

What is the biggest mistake high performers make?

Optimizing the wrong 80%: constantly switching programs, over-indexing on cardio, or treating recovery as optional. The 20% that matters is boring on paper and transformational in practice.
