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, 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.

      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
