To increase strength muscles must be worked with more intensity than they are used to handling. The higher the intensity the shorter the workout will be. The higher the intensity the longer it will take to recover and become stronger.
Instead of finding out how much exercise you can withstand try finding out what is the minimum that will produce the most results. The trick is to do just enough to cause the adaptation and maximize recovery time so that a complete adaptation is possible. If you schedule two exercise sessions too close together you will end up ruining both workouts. If done right you should improve very time. The key is to find out what is the minimal amount high intensity exercise that will produce the greatest results.
The human body is the only engine that has the capacity to improve in ability rather than getting worn out after continuous use. But with continuous use beyond a certain point and the body cannot recovery and improve in ability. The proper amount of exercise is the amount that will produce the intended result. Any exercise beyond that is at best a waste of time and at worse counterproductive as the body cannot adequately recover and improve.
The formula is simple; perform just enough work of a demanding nature, rest, following by work a little more demanding to see continuous improvement. You can be stronger, more toned, more flexible and less prone to injuries in just one or two 25 minute sessions a week.
