Most notably for me in the last few years, time has become a huge factor, and trying to fit in a 1 - 2 hour workout per day just isn’t realistic.

If you’re doing any kind of interval training, you’ll need a good stopwatch so you can time your alternating periods of effort and recovery during your workouts. But when the intervals are short, it becomes a hassle to have to keep looking down at your stopwatch - especially if you only have a 10 second rest period.
