Is 20 minutes of exercise okay?

I’ve recently (not even a week ago lol) started getting some motivation to workout again. It’s not really a lot of motivation since it’s not enough to make me want to do an hour, but I’ve been doing 20 minutes of cardio (maybe a little more? I only know it’s under 30—Just around 25) and then after that I just stretch for about 15 minutes. It’s not a lot, but it’s better than how I was during the school year where I lost the motivation to even workout for 5 minutes. I’m not sure if I should try to add more time of cardio or something to my workout or if the amount I’m doing at the moment is fine for now.

It's likely fine for now. They say one of the most important things is creating, or maintaining, the habit of working out.

What you don't want to do is say "well I need to do X amount of workouts" and then have it conflict with other aspects of your life causing you to eventually not workout at all.

Working out that long regularly is already really good for you. Depending on how serious you want to get about it, doing more might be a goal you'll want to achieve some day (1 to 2 hours per day, with off-days), but I'd suggest go at your own pace. If roughly 25 minutes a day at your age feels right with the rest of your life in mind, that's totally okay. Especially at your age.

20 is a good place to start.
