Notes:
On the face of it, this looks like an awful lot of training. And, I suppose, it kind of is – at least in terms of the number of individual sessions I am doing over the course of the week.
But.
And it is a big but.
What you have to keep in mind is that the bodyweight sessions (which are per the intermediate Tireless Tier of my Bodyweight Buccaneer system) take roughly thirty minutes to complete, beginning and ending in my home.
The runs take longer because I am not a gifted runner (nor do I have any interest in “getting good” at running because I use it as a tool to become a better lifter, stay lean, and not keel over from a heart attack before all my kids leave school). But, again, I am starting and ending at home, so they’re not particularly onerous.
So actually, I am training for, at most, roughly one hour six days per week, plus a short thirty-ish minute walk every day at about lunchtime to clear my head (not that walking “counts” as training).
This is an amount of time I am confident that any serious person could devote to training if they wanted to. However, not everyone wants to and that’s also OK.
Four bodyweight sessions and two runs, for example, would probably be plenty sufficient for those who are new or returning to training. They’d still have to train six days per week or “double up” some sessions if they wanted to have, say, four training days. Nevertheless, the workload is still supremely manageable; doubly so as a prime advantage of the way I prescribe bodyweight training is that it affords trainees a wide latitude to self-regulate in advance or even on the fly if they are feeling tired or full of the joys of spring on any given day.

P.S. Bodyweight Buccaneer costs £600 (paid in one go or as two equal instalments), which is a fair chunk of change but I would argue it’ll be more likely to produce results than paying a PT to take you through a random selection of mostly machine exercises while counting your reps.
But I am biased in my assessment.
All the more reason to carefully read the whole sales page before you make your mind up.
Too lazy to make an informed purchase?
It’s better for the both of us if you never become a customer or client of mine in any capacity.
Here’s the page if you don’t mind a little reading:
