A player can only spend as much time as is possible to do any or all of the above.
Do as much as you can. If some exercises are not completed, don't worry, do them the next day.
What is really important is the true warm up and flexibility studies. They must be done to start every session.
Good luck with your studies.

DON'T EXHAUST YOURSELF. REST OFTEN. DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR A WHILE BEFORE COMING BACK TO CONTINUE. TAKE A REST DAY AFTER A HARD BLOW TO LET YOUR LIP RECOVER....
