I've always done fairly heavy weight and high volume training with routines that take about 1 hour if done intensely, up to 1.5 hours if I go in lacking the energy and motivation.
This used to be alright when I had lots of free time. But now with an irregular work schedule I'm finding more often than not I'm only getting in 2-3 sessions per week or less.
With my schedule I could easily accommodate shorter 30 minute workouts for 5-6 sessions per week and I've found a few good routines of this length. But despite the fact I'll have higher frequency, the idea of such short sessions seems a bit strange to me.
Does anyone have experience doing short sessions in the gym, but with more frequency? Does the increased frequency offset the lower volume? Or does the reality of a 30 minute session with all said and done mean some very weak and innefective sessions?
