That is quite the list of benefits for shorter training sessions! The down side, in our busy daily lives, not all of us have several free 30 minute sessions to train. That being said, there are opportunities out there: walking/biking to work; after dinner walks; morning yoga classes; etc. Also, and a lot of gyms do offer morning, afternoon and evening classes starting from 30 minutes. Instead of spending your lunch break at a restaurant, find a yoga class. You’ll see how much more energy you will have in the afternoon, as well as how much easier it is to work while relaxed.
