x3 hours a week + travel time is infeasible given other commitments. I have approx 50 mins per day available.
You said yourself - it’s starting to impact your health. And it will get worse not better.
You have to make time for it.
You’d make time to get a cancer treated - make time to exercise to preserve your health while you can, or there’s no point in those other commitments.
Come on man, you can't have such a busy life. You have to cut somewhere for your own sanity.
What about weekend? Use Saturday & Sunday and Wednesday?
Build a minimal home gym and train hard? It's important to train hard for 1 hour or more, not just do 10K steps.
kids, literally make your life that busy. Home gym would be ideal - unfortunately space is the issue there, I have about 1.5m2 available.
