No Time to Workout
Life is hectic, between working 8-10 hours a day, and managing a household. We find it very hard to fit exercise into our busy routines. I don’t have time to exercise, is the number one excuse I hear that hold people back from getting into shape. We are all busy. Why is it that some of us find time to make exercise a priority and others don’t? I am going to outline 4 keys to never missing a workout, staying on track, and getting in quick, efficient workouts that eliminate the excuse of I don’t have time.
Key One: You have to schedule your workouts: If you do not schedule your workouts in advance you are very likely to skip them, fill your day up with other things, and just plain out forget to exercise. Schedule your workouts as if it is a doctors appointment that you can’t miss. It’s that important.
Key Two: Keep your workouts short and efficient: Keep all of your workouts to a maximum of 45 minutes. No more long hours of cardiovascular training. Instead opt for a 30 minute circuit training workout, where you move from one exercise to the next every 30-45 seconds, or 45 minutes of interval training where you stagger 15 minutes of weight training with 15 minutes of intense cardiovascular training. The key is to get your heart rate up and burn as many calories as you can in the allotted amount of time you have.
Key Three: Accountability Partner: Find a workout partner or fitness professional that will hold you accountable, and not allow you to skip out on a regular exercise routine. Most of us can not be consistent with a regular fitness routine without some help. As hard as we may try it’s easy to push off working-out without anyone to answer too. There are some people who are exceptions to this rule, but most of us need a little prodding.
Key Four: Never Miss a Workout: Never miss a workout, even if you are on vacation find a fun and exciting way to get in a workout. Make a regular fitness routine a part of your lifestyle. Don’t let vacations or schedule changes derail your fitness plans. Even if you only have 15-30 minutes to get in some exercise take advantage of it, getting in some exercise is better then none.
