@LukeAlmighty yeah it's pretty fuckin killer actually. if he's doing stuff like 25 minute runs in between 45 minute weight lifting focused on different muscle groups then yeah, i'd say that's pretty damn good. the routine my friend and i are following is about 45 minutes 2-3 times a week. just takes us a bit longer because there are two of us, usually an hour and fifteen. the consistency is key and once you build it up, as long as you stay consistent you aren't going to lose it.
but i do concur that this is just good shape. he's not like body builder status or anything. the guys doing that are on drugs and/or doing multiple hour workouts almost every day. maybe people look at that and have such a crazy idea of how much it takes to get healthy so they don't even want to try.
