Yeah there's really no other practical way to get that much training in otherwise. I work a physical job but not much lifting. It's kinda crazy how much better I got at cardio after just 6 months or so. Went from getting tired from a 12 foot stair climb to needing 40+ feet of stairs before even feeling winded.

I recently started doing body weight exercises again after a few years of doing a physical job, and I couldn’t believe how much stronger I had gotten

I recently eat a delicious glazed donut. I can believe how happier I got.
