. Full-Body Conditioning Day
A Full Body Conditioning day, finished with cardio at the end, could be done in as little as 65-75 minutes total once you learn the exercises and no longer need to watch all the videos. I do recommend you watch the videos for your first few weeks or so to get the hints on how to properly perform each one.
