Only 45-60 minutes per day

[Ice]

Hi, all.

Long time user of the site, but only today registered.

I stopped training for almost two year, only doing some 15 minutes yoga in the morning.
Some medical issues ruined my fitness and general daily routine, plus I got early menopause, and then...

I've always been lean, but now I would like to regain my body shape, losing some weight around the waist, on my hips, thighs and buttocks and regaining the firmness of my own muscles.
The big problem is, apart from the 15 minutes of morning yoga, I just have 45 - max 60 minutes in the late evening, but not everyday.

I try to do the "exercise of the day" every day, plus to follow every "workout of the day" (not always, I admit), and only some months the "monthly challenge" (depends on the challenge, as I cannot strain my back and my knees).
I would like some specific workouts that can help me regain my shape and muscles, possibly by December.

I am vegetarian, I don't eat much and very often skip dinner due to lack of appetite (but I like - just some bit of - chocolate, which is not negotiable).

Which workout should be best for me?

Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Benefits
Programs:
1-Minute HIIT
30 Days of HIIT
also:
TEN
Timed programs are fast, you know how long it takes and they are generally demanding so with that little (in terms of time) exercise you get changes.
It's just an idea.
Also take a look at the articles in the Guides, there are lots of interesting topics covered

The workouts of darebee that I have done at level 1 have 13-15’ time the most
HIIT workouts are good to be done but they are intense and so maybe not for a beginner, you can do them after some time exercising

I am doing the Iron Born program and it takes around 20 minutes There is no cardio, it's strength-oriented and you can adapt the weights for what suits you best or do alternative exercises for the push ups and the planks for instance

Thank you very much, to all of you, for your replies.

Unfortunately the hot weather began, so my training plans are slowed down.
But I'm doing my best and will continue so.

In the meantime, I downloaded all the recommended programs and began to read all (130+) guides (something suitable for me, being a bookworm...)
