Workouts for busy lives.

We are all victims of busier lives, what with juggling full time jobs, home, maybe studying or kids and a social life, it’s little wonder we struggle to make time for exercise. 

It doesn't have to be like this though, there are ways of having it all, and finally achieving your fitness goals. 

So how can you do it? 

1. Make your workouts more efficient.

Use HIIT or Tabata training to get through a really effective fat-burning exercise in a short space of time. Combine arms and legs, for example a squat to an overhead press, or a side lunge with a bicep curl. Use big compound movements such as deadlifts in your weight training to use lots of muscles and thereby burn lots of calories. 

2. Workout in the morning.

I totally understand and hear you when you say, you cant get up that early, but try setting that alarm fifteen minutes earlier to start with and do a ten minute bodyweight blast. Not only does working out in the morning eliminate the chance of life getting in the way, it will give you energy for the rest of the day, and you’ll feel great sat at your desk knowing your workout is done for the day. 

3. Workout on a Sunday to jumpstart your week. 

I always used to do my long run on a Sunday, why because it meant I had done my hardest workout before the week had even started. It really gets you off to a great start knowing that a hard workout is already done. 

4.Make fitness a lifestyle change and not a chore. 

If you embrace and find something you enjoy doing, you are sure to succeed, if its a part of your life rather than something you have to do, you’ll be more likely to be consistent and therefore more likely to achieve your goals. 

How to fit it in? 

1. Join a 24hour gym so you can train whenever suits you. 

2. Leave your gym kit in the car, by the door or in your office, whatever works for you. 

3. Try to schedule at least one workout a week in your diary or calendar app. 

4. Make it a social thing and train with your other half (couples that train together, stay together) 

5. Get a personal trainer to help keep you accountable. 

So that's how you can start to fit a workout in, to finish off I've created a ten minute wake up workout and a twenty minute lunch break workout, let me know how you get on with them?

Exercise is good for all that ails you, including your mental health. If you are cleared by your doctor to exercise this is the time of year to get outside and get moving! #exerciseisgood #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #lookleftwalkgreen #getoutsideandplay #summertime #iamstigmafree #stampoutstigma

#Exercises - interesting observation . Every AM - 5 rites ,with added arms lifted with breath up ,down ,all around #dance #wisdom #connection to feel #endless #space #freedom. I read an #article yesterday that said these next exercises are #crucial for everyone. I'm adding them - Push up, floor side leg lifts ,one knee arm, leg lift FB,elbow plank. They are all on the #floor. #Observation - #exerciseisgood but #Dance of this #practice are the only movements that feel " Yay" to do them. It's good to lift your arms up and look up ..to let your #head #brain #rest and #feel #free for precious a minute and then #walktall while #keepingthatfeeling #inyouallday (at Tiverton, Rhode Island)
