I have heard of and even seen peope make big changes to their body and health with only 15, 30, or 60 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn’t even seem like much.
Whether it’s cardio or lifting weights, why do people only need that much time a day to improve? In fact, why does MORE time with exercise (like 3 hours or more) even seem harmful?
I know diet plays a big role but still. Like I started strength training for only 15 minutes a day and I see some changes in my body physically.

You’d be surprised on the effects of “truly strenuous” exercises in short time frames.
Pushing yourself to your limit regularly takes very little time. As this topic is subjective based on the effort that YOU put in.
For instance, I can get an amazing, full body workout, in the manner of a 20 minute dumbell exercise, only because I know specifically which weight I need and how many reps, as well as which exercise is needed and how to do it properly.
If you don’t know yourself and your own limitations, you will have a hard time exercising and knowing what or why something is the way it is.
As a general tip, find a kettlebell that you can just barely do 10 Flies with, and keep doing that until you can increase the weight or handle more reps.
