There's this idea that you need to be at the gym every day to see results. So many people go to the gym several times a week, they work out for multiple hours a day, and it takes up all of their time - and it takes up valuable time that could be spent doing something else... like sleeping. In this video, Matt and Lynn talk about how often exactly we need to work out to see results. And sometimes it's a lot less than you think.
