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?

    Any exercise is better than none :-)

    We all have varied, busy lives that never fit the neat structured exercise plans we read about, or make for ourselves. Sometimes we only find 15 minutes free in a day for some quick exercise. And if that’s the only time we have available that day, then that’s enough.

    Ideally you’ll find time for more structured exercise at least once a week, but don’t beat yourself up if you struggle with your schedule, you’re only human, just do what you can, that already puts you ahead of most people <3

      Who downvoted you? We can’t all escape our responsibilities for 3 hours, or enough to work everything at a strict schedule.

      Yeah, this is bad advice for a comp level, or optimal progress, but for 99% of people the habit of going and doing something is orders of magnitude better than finding every excuse not to go that day.
