The Best Type Of Workout For Every Scenario - PART 1

A buddy on social media messaged me the other day and asked me "Hey Casey, what's the best type of workout to do if I only have 15-20 minutes?"

And it got me thinking...

There's a lot of unique scenarios that challenge what type of workout or training style you can accomplish.
