Last week I did an interview with an author for her book. She was looking for wellness professionals to talk about fitness as it relates to personal style etc.
One of the big things we hit on a few times during the interview was the common excuse of “I dont have time to work out”
Time.
This is an excuse we all (me included) use for things we just don’t feel like doing. Because when it comes to things we do want to do, we MAKE the time.
We’re all grown ups, we’re all busy.
We all get 24 hours a day.
And we ALL have time to work out.
We just have to prioritize it and craft our days in a way that allows for it.
Here are a couple ideas of how to fit workouts into a busy schedule:
1. Choose pre-made short workouts.
You already know I’m a beachbody coach and beachbody junkie. was amazing for me. I did this program with a newborn and a toddler, and I got great results. It was just 25 minutes a day.
There are other quick workout routines that are just 30 minutes like (and new Fix extreme) and . Still too long? How about 10 minutes? can get you good results in just 10 minutes. Don’t tell me you cant find 10 minutes in your day. I just won’t believe you.
2. Use TV Time
Watching Empire? Scandal? The Bachelorette? Whatever… hop on a stationary bike and ride as you watch! Or walk on your treadmill. No equipment? No excuse, just march in place while you watch your shows. (Bonus: you’ll likely avoid snacking this way too!)
Or my old fave….
Do the commercial break workout. This is a quick workout routine that is easy to fit in.
Jog in place during the first commercial break. Do as many squats as you can during the next. Then do as many crunches as you can for the next. Pushups for the next break, and repeat that cycle each commercial break…until you’re done watching TV or you pass out…whichever comes first. 🙂
OK, OK don’t go passing out. But definitely try to be active as you watch TV or skip TV for half an hour and do a pre-made workout. Either way, you’ll burn more calories and be on your way to a healthier body.
