10 ways to find time for your fitness
If you don’t make time for your wellness, eventually you’ll have to make time for your illness.
Get up first thing in the morning and go for a walk or do a cardio session.
Take a walk or do a workout during your lunch break.
Do strength exercises while watching TV at night (planks, bridges, squats, etc.).
Turn household chores into a cardio session by turning up the music and moving fast enough to get your heart rate up.
Turn your date nights into “fun” nights – go skating, hit the batting cage, go for a bike ride, or be active! (The same goes for family activity days.)
Have a plan for your nutrition AND your workouts. When you have a plan in place, following it is a no-brainer!
Make an appointment with your calendar every week and block time for your health & fitness into your schedule (workouts, meal planning, shopping, & prep, etc.)
Find things you love – whether it’s food choices or exercise choices. You’ll start looking forward to it.
Get support and accountability either in-person or online. Sometimes all you need is a cheerleader.
Wear a fitness tracker and set daily movement goals. Don’t go to bed until you meet those goals!
Another way to make the most of your time:
Hire an experienced trainer/coach who can create a plan that works with your lifestyle, helps keep you motivated, and provides accountability and support every step of the way. This will simplify the process.
