Strength Train or Cardio?
When pressed for time how do you decide what to do? I usually do cardio and weights 6 days a week, but lately my schedule is CRAZY. This morning I only had 45 minutes so I opted to focus on weights and strength training instead. Any ideas? I feel guilty if I don't do both.
