How long do your workouts last?

Hi everyone! I've been doing the NROF4W for a while now (I'm on Stage 3) and both the A and B workout take me about an hour and a half to complete. I have been getting a great workout, but I've been cutting out the last interval part of it so I can get home at a decent time. I'm never waiting on equipment and I do my sets and rest times as scheduled with a 10 minute warm up.

Is anyone else's workout this long or am I doing something wrong?

If I remember right, some of the stages were a little on the long side and others made you wonder if you were even doing enough. I eventually didn't do cardio warmup but I always went after work and I'm on my feet all shift moving around.

Now, not doing NROLFW, my days vary if I do cardio after and what lift is the main focus. Squats take longer but require a little more warm-up sets to get up to the higher weight. Upper body at times can be done in like 30 minutes. This current 10 week program even has a day just for shoulders, so that one can be over super fast and since I always have to wait for my ride that means a really long cardio session after just to use up some time.

Sometimes you just have to trim down, or super set, watch the rest days if worried about needing to be somewhere. Other times, it's just spend some time to get things done. I rarely go when I might be in a hurry but I also have to wait for equipment so factor that in as well when I'm planning.

Nice work on getting through the stages and keep it up. Once you're used to the lifts more, they repeat in varying stages, and the reps change, maybe the time will go quicker too.
