Yep, two full hours. I mean I was way past being fatigue within the first 45 minutes
I know this is an older post and a few months have passed, but I'd just like to give you a few tips to help out.
* Your first and or routine workouts shouldn't be more than 20-40 minutes and start with an exercise that gets your heart rate up, then move onto full body exercises for the first week before you move onto core, strength workouts or muscle building.
* One of the most important rules of a workout is giving your body rest. As the workout will break down the muscle tissue, the body will then take from whatever energy resource it has; usually fat (calories). So after your workout take 1-2 days of rest before hitting the gym again. This is a must for your tissues to build back up.
* Protein bars aren't what you want to be eating, same goes with most protein shakes. They tend to have sugars that won't help with your workout. If you can get those same bars or shakes without the sugar or any MSG, then go right ahead. It's best to snack on small portions or fruit, veggies, high fibers, and of course protein ( white meats, usually chicken and fish ), through out the day.
* It's best to work a certain area of the body like lower half/legs, abdomen/back, upper-body.
Either focus on only that area for that day or even the whole week. Or break it up into different parts for different days.
Example: Monday - Legs, Tuesday - Rest, Wednesday - Upper-body
Or: Monday - Arms/Back, Wednesday - Legs/Glutes/Lower body
So basically, get a lot of rest after a workout, stay away from sugar, drink a lot of water, take B12s and electrolytes to replenish what you're sweating out and fish oils with omega 3 fatty acids which will give your skin the oils it needs to stay firm and tight when losing weight.
- I'll add more to this later, hope it helps you out
