Simple Ways to Fit Exercise Into Your Busy Schedule

By now everyone knows the importance of regular exercise of a healthy body and to reach out weight loss goals. Sometimes however, making time for a workout can be a struggle. Sometimes there’s just too much work we need to finish or there’s just too many chores errands we need to do.

 

However, it is possible to sneak in some time for exercise despite our busy schedule. Today, we’re talking about some of the best strategies for making time for fitness every day. Let’s get started.

Fitting in fitness at home and on the go


Time spent at home doesn't have to be "couch potato" time. To make fitness a priority at home:


  • Wake up early. Get up a bit earlier than you normally do and use the extra time to walk on your treadmill or take a brisk walk around the neighborhood.
  • Make chores count. Mop the floor, scrub the bathtub or do other housework at a pace fast enough to get your heart pumping.
  • Get outside. Outdoor work counts, too. Mowing the lawn with a push mower is a great way to burn calories. Raking and hoeing strengthen your arms and back, and digging works your arms and legs.
  • Be active while watching TV. Use hand weights, ride a stationary bike or do a stretching routine during your favorite shows. Get off the couch to change the channel or adjust the volume.
  • Get more out of errands. When you go to the mall or grocery store, park toward the back of the lot and walk the extra distance. If you have a little extra time, walk inside for a lap or two before you start shopping. Keep a pair of walking shoes in your car so that you're ready when you find a few minutes for exercise.

Work out at work


To fit in more physical activity while you're on the job:


  • Make the most of your commute. Walk or bike to work. If you ride the bus, get off a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way.
  • Take the stairs whenever you can. If you have a meeting on another floor, get off the elevator a few floors early and use the stairs. Better yet, skip the elevator entirely.
  • Take fitness breaks. Rather than hanging out in the lounge with coffee or a snack, take a short walk.
  • Skip the email. Walk to a co-worker instead of leaving a voicemail or sending an email.
  • Take it on the road. If you travel for work, plan ahead. Bring your jump-rope or choose a hotel that has fitness facilities. If you're stuck in an airport waiting for a plane, grab your bags and take a walk.
