It's becoming apparent that my thinking on low volume training is different to most.
If my life was super busy and I only had 5 hrs a week to exercise, what would I do?

a) I would walk a lot throughout the day
b) I would do daily yoga
c) I would do short, regular strength work.
d) If I couldn't challenge my metabolism with movement, I would challenge it with nutrition.

Because if my life is so busy that I can barely squeeze in an hour a day, the best thing that I can do for myself physically is to mitigate some of the stress coming from the rest of my life....
Trying to continue to continue to train 'competitively' i.e. adding additional stress to the mix with high intensity training, would be one of the worse things that I could do for my already challenged physical health.
We'll all hit these periods in life at one point or another. When we do, I'd encourage being honest with oneself, looking at the bigger picture, and above all else doing what's necessary to stay healthy.
"Competitive" training will always be there when life space opens back up.
