The article doesn't give the impression to me that he spends that much time working out. He says he started off 5 days a week and later on worked out for 6 days a week 3 of those running and three of those in the gym. He doesn't say how long each session is but he does say he runs for 5 miles or 45 minutes with his Nike+ so You might deduce he spends about 6 hours a week exercising. 6 hours sounds normal to me. From the tone of your comments it sounds more like you are projecting your negative life experiences onto your reading of the article.
