How to Fit "Fitness" into your Hectic Schedule-7 Quick Tips to Make Exercise a Daily Habit
1. Wake up 1 hour earlier each day
The morning is usually the best time to exericse. An early morning workout kicks in "feel good" hormones called endorphins that are like giving you a jump start to your day.
2. Shorten your workouts
Last time I checked there is not a written rule that states one must exercise for one hour or more during any given exercise session. Yet that seems to be the “magic” number would-be exercisers think is necessary in order to achieve results. Fact is you can get great results in as little as 20-30 minutes.
3. Perform cardio & weight training on separate days
Instead of performing a mega workout of one hour or more, encompassing both weight and cardio training, divide your weight training and cardio workouts into 20-30 minute alternating sessions performed more frequently throughout the week.
4. Increase your exercise intensity.
Instead of going to the gym and proceeding to go through the motions of your routine, pick up the intensity and work harder instead of longer. Take shorter rest periods between exercises and limit the idle chat. This will result in shorter workouts and far more productive results.
5. Workout at home
You don’t have to go to a gym or fitness centre to get into great shape. You can achieve dramatic results in the privacy of your own home. Your in home workout may consist of dumbbells, resistance bands, the stability ball and bodyweight exercises.
6. Keep it simple
If you have very limited time, instead of doing nothing perform some quick bodyweight callisthenic exercises including pushups, back extensions, squats, lunges and ab crunches. For cardio take a brisk walk or jog in place. If you only have ten minutes to spare it is better than nothing.
7. Hire an exercise coach
A qualified personal trainer can help take a lot of the guesswork out of designing a productive fitness routine, saving youwasted time finding out what doesn’t work through trial and error.
