Frequently asked questions
Is a 20-minute home workout enough?
Yes. Research consistently shows that 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity provides most of the health benefits. Consistency matters more than duration — a 20-minute workout done 4 times a week beats a 90-minute session done once.
