Based on the information provided, I cannot definitively say whether Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, has changed your workout duration. Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, works by lowering the levels of "bad" cholesterol and fats in the blood [1].

Exercise and physical activity can help reduce cholesterol levels, but there is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor has a specific impact on workout duration. It's important to note that Lipitor is typically used as a long-term treatment and its effects on cholesterol levels are usually not immediate [2].

Any changes in workout duration are more likely to be related to improvements in overall health and fitness resulting from regular exercise, rather than a direct effect of the medication itself [3].

However, it's always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have concerns about how your medication may be affecting your exercise routine or overall health [4].
