Indeed, 90 minutes/day is just not necessary, unless the goal is training for sport or competition.
In fact, the HN crowd in particular might benefit from the compressed workout routine known as CrossFit. The workouts seldom take longer than 30 minutes--usually less--and have the combined benefit of training strength and cardio-vascular fitness. Mental toughness place a BIG role here, too. (Think: Better, Faster, Stronger)
Each WOD ("Workout Of the Day") is different than the last, and all of the exercises can be done at a park or in a home/garage gym. Any equipment used has DIY instructions to build rather than buy. In short, it's perfect for us entrepreneur-types who are [by necessity] so stingy with our time and money.
A quote from one of the CrossFit founders/coaches best sums up its benefits: "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and are more useful in general." -Mark Rippetoe
