Hi, I'm Kevin Don, the Get Fit Guy, and this week I'm going to answer a few of your burning questions that have dropped into the Get Fit Guy inbox recently.

Now, firstly, I'm so grateful to get emails and feedback from the audience. I do take the time to answer the emails I get every week

and I love seeing how curious you are about exploring your health and fitness. So if you also feel

like sending me an email, send it over to get fit guy at quick and dirty tips.com. Maybe you'll

Jack asks, I've been doing Peloton strength workouts at home. These are efficient workouts that tend to incorporate little

Arms and shoulders for 20 minutes the next day, etc.

Then I started doing 30 minutes of each.

Now I'm wondering if I should go up to 40 minutes.

But at what point is there a law of diminishing marginal returns where adding extra time to the strength

workout is not going to give me the results and thus not be worth it. So thank you for the email,

Jack. The first thing I notice here is the expression efficient workouts. I also notice there isn't

any specific goal mentioned in your email.

So I can't really say that Peloton strength workouts are efficient,

since without a defined goal, they may be moving you away from the overall goal.

That is if we define efficiency as maximum productivity with minimal wastage. If you have a goal, then by definition,

Peloton is actually inefficient because it's a general product. The trainings are not tailored to you,
