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 can barely manage anything that takes longer than cooking a decent meal.

    Yeah, 3 hours.

    There’s a reason I need the gym

      I mean, there’s plenty of good meals that only take a half hour to an hour. I’d go as far as to say that if you include stuff where a pot is just simmering and you’re waiting, there’s a ton of options.

      Depends on how fast prep is, I guess. I’m used to just zipping through prep since it’s something I’ve done since I was a kid.

      Take something like beef stew. That’s twenty minutes of actual cooking, ten of prep, and a bunch of patience.

      There’s complicated dishes that take more attention as it cooks, along with a lot of fiddly prep, like beef wellington, where you’re right on top of it the entire time.

      I guess it also depends in what the standard of “decent” is lol. Spaghetti can take fifteen minutes start to finish, or it can take a couple of hours including simmer time for the sauce.
