When something really important comes up in our lives, we find a way to fit it in to our schedule—whether that’s a new movie we’re excited to see, or a doctor’s appointment about something that’s really bugging us.
Regular exercise might not be as compelling as those things, but each of us has ultimate control over what goes on our calendar. It’s the rare human being who literally cannot make the time to exercise. Here’s a few tips to help you find where you can schedule in time to take care of you:
1.
Work Out Efficiently
2.
Make a Schedule and Commit to It
One of the most cited reasons to skip a
workout goes something like this: “I am just too busy at work today; I can’t
make my yoga class.” I call BULL! If you unexpectedly had to pick up your child
from school and had no back-up plan, how would you deal with the situation?
Cancel an internal meeting? Take some work home with you? Do some hard
prioritizing? The truth is that when we really need to, we get out of the
office at the time that is necessary. Make a schedule (write it down if it
helps!), stick to it, and remind yourself that working out is a priority worth
keeping.
3.
Choose Something Over Nothing
You don’t need an hour—or even 30 minutes—to
get a complete, effective workout. And some exercises is virtually always
better than none. Heck, even seven minutes can make a difference! We can always
find a few free minutes in our day (yes, we can!). With an effective program,
and done frequently enough, short and speedy workouts can do wonders to both
the body and mind. Squeeze in fitness wherever you are and no matter how much
time you have with bodyweight exercises or with the help of apps with
pre-programmed short workouts—you can even do some exercises at your desk!
4. Set Your Alarm Early
Becoming an A.M. exerciser means you get to
cross your workout off your to-do list ASAP. We're not telling you to skip out
on sleep in favor of a sweat session, but there are simple steps you can take
to reset your sleep schedule and wake up earlier.
5. Sneak In a Lunch
Break Workout
Make use of your precious 60 minutes by
hitting the gym or going for a walk. Not only will it keep your waistline in
check, you're also proven to be more productive during the day by logging off
for an hour than you would be by eating lunch at your desk.https://www.fitnessmagazine.com/ https://greatist.com/fitness/ https://vitals.lifehacker.com/
