are there days where you only train certain parts of your body / only do certain exercises because you simply don’t have the time for a full workout?

my ideal workout means stair climbing, running-walking and stretching. It can well last 2 hours.

Some days I don’t have enough time to do all that. Would it be better to do less of each kind of exercising or just to fixate on one kind?

    Can you walk to a place instead of drive daily?

    I replaced a 10 minute commute with a 45 minute walk. Got me walking nearly 8 hours a week. ~20 miles.

    I think building it into your routine rather than making it an event is key.

      Yup, second on this one. Exact same change made, and the gf and I love it. We even walk when it’s minus 20 (though after that we’ll drive). Many days afterwards we’re both too beat for much more of a hard workout, so I’ll hammer out some pushups to failure or smtg

      Yup, and I’d also recommend planning your exercise around the time your energy peaks during the day. I’m a morning person, so I work out in the morning.
