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?

I think it's important to note that any amount of exercise appears to be better than none at all ^[1][2][3]^.

    • §"Micro-Workouts". ¶1-2.

      Have a spare 5 minutes? Why not try a micro-workout (smaller, short bouts of exercise)? Although traditional exercise sessions may last 20-30 minutes, recent research shows that high intensity exercise lasting as little as 1 minute can have cardiovascular and insulin resistance benefits.

      Micro-workouts have proven to have many positive benefits. In one study, a 10-minute workout three times per week increased endurance by nearly 20 percent and participants had increased insulin resistance at the end of the study. A large study linked longer life spans with running as little as 5 minutes a day. High blood pressure seems to be more easily controlled with three 10-minute walks rather than one 30-minute walk. The overarching theme seems to be that some movement is better than no movement, and that every little of movement bit counts.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
