The first time I searched for a professional fitness-trainer had been for the role of Michel Knight in the "Knight Rider". I didn't want to have muscles such as a mister universe but I wished to give a good shape to my body. With "good shape" I don't mean only the outside figure but everything.

I make one or two of these hours in my private "gym" and I work with the fitness equipment. For me this is a part of the preparation to my next film role.
The professional fitness trainers suggest a short daily training - about 15 minutes to 20 minutes - or about 90 minutes per week. When the training is not combined with a special diet-plan, there can be wrong effects: with more than three hours of intensive training per week the results can become worst.
So: a longer and more frequent training is neither necessary nor good.
