Marty, during the fitness camp I had, I believe that you said not to workout more than one hour at a time. Should I then just do the remaining exercises the next day? What if i go over a bit?

Generally speaking if you are training intensely after about an hour energy peters out. Have you ever noticed how the exercises at the end of the session suffer as compared to the exercises at the beginning of the session? For this reason, we always put the most important exercises at the beginning of the session. Having said that if your energy level is good there is certainly nothing wrong with extending the session more than an hour. Typically my sessions run between 60-75 minutes. In the purposeful primitive lexicon intensity trumps voulume.
