Question: "I have limited time each day to work out. What should I focus on?"
Answer: Focus on consistency. Even if you only have 20 minutes per day, doing this six days per week can add up. On the other hand, it will not amount to much if it is infrequently done.
Also, start with something you enjoy doing. Try yoga, strength training, high intensity interval training or Zumba.
Another important aspect is the intensity of your workout. Combine exercises for different muscle groups from upper body, lower body and core strengthening. This will save you time, as well as increase the overall calorie burn.
Don't allow limited time to affect your health. Take control and remember that doing something is better than doing nothing. You may be surprised by the results!
