How to Exercise When You Are Busy with a Simple Fitness Program

You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to get fit. I bet you see friends spend 2 hours at the gym. Between driving, parking, and working out, the hours just add up. I’m sure you can devote some of that time to other things.

First of all, if you are just starting out, don’t go crazy with an advanced fitness program. With a simple fitness program, you can exercise when you are busy. Before you even start, you need to make a commitment to YOU and make it a priority. Stick with it and you will start feeling so great, you’ll have more energy to fully engage in the busy part of your life. Here are 3 tips:

Exercise at home – The convenience of working out at home give you the flexibility to do it whenever you want. You can get up 30 minutes early or do a late night fitness session making it a great way to exercise when you are busy. You save time on driving and fighting for equipment at the gym. Get a good, systematic fitness program and you can just pop a DVD in and get moving. You also save lots of money. Imagine what a monthly gym fee would cost you! In comparison, the average price of home workout is $120 and you get to keep it forever!

Walking – Instead of eating lunch at your desk at work (you know you do!), get moving and go for a walk. You can walk outside of your workplace for 30 minutes and you’ll be healthier than if you did nothing. If you must feel like you are working, take along your phone and make a business call!

Schedule Your Workouts – Just like any other important appointment, you need to schedule your activity time, whether it’s a home workout, gym, or just walk. You wouldn’t miss a meeting would you? Then treat your fitness the same way. Remember, the most effective way to feel your best even with a long work day is to devote time to YOU and helping yourself feel better.

I hope you enjoyed learning about how to exercise when you are busy. You can incorporate a fitness program into your life, just get creative about how to do it! You will feel better, more confident, and get more done in life.
