Are you overly busy during the day that you rarely have time
for workout? Could it be because of
tight work schedules, house chores, kids, and other commitments?
Well, these are not enough reasons to exclude exercise in
your daily routine.
Truth be told, there are lots of people out there who are more engaged than
you’re but are still making out time for fitness training.
Nonetheless, it’s quite hard to fit in fitness training
especially when you’re preoccupied by many things, the only way out is planning
and sticking to the plans.
9 Tips for fitting workout in your daily life
Have a to-do-list
Having a to-do-list of the activities you
wish to carryout for the day and week will help set you out on a success pedal.
Try as much as possible to track how you’re
going to spend each hour of everyday of the week. Stipulate time for chit-chat, movies, gaming,
sleeping, exercising and visiting.
This ensures you have a prepared mind for
the task ahead without being discouraged.
Fuel your zeal
Without zeal, a person who started daily
exercise happily will lose interest on the long run. More often than none this
may happen as a result of no set goal or vision.
My humble advice is: in a paper outline the
major goals of the planned workout.
Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to
maintain a good health or do you want to get in shape?
Decide where to exercise and why.
Gym!
Simply because you want to make friends at the
gym that will help keep you on course when the going gets tough.
When is your best workout time zone?
As this applies to studying, it applies
here as well. You’ve got to do some research to determine which time of the day
you perform best during workout. Early
morning or in the evening? If it is in the morning then why not set a timer to
help you wake up to exercise. If the evening is your best time, then taking a
walk every evening can do or going to gym would as well be awesome.
Make the workout regime part of you by forming the habit first
Exercising during workdays is a no-go for
many people. And I guess you may fall within this group. The first thing to do
is to bring to mind the goal of your exercise activities, and then plan on how
to actualize this goal. This can be done by taking just 10 minutes out every
morning to exercise for about eight weeks.
I can hear someone saying 10 minutes is too
small.
Fair enough!
You may be right but remember all you need
to do at this point is to make exercising part of you. Stretching the duration
of your exercise can make you stop on the way. And that is what you must avoid.
As you know forming a new habit doesn’t just happen overnight, it takes time.
Therefore at this stage all you need to do is to focus on making exercising
part of you.
Save the fuel or T-fare
If your home is close to your working
place, you can walk to your office at least twice a week. If you don’t live
close to your office, walking to a certain distance for some minutes before
boarding a cab will be wonderful.
On the same note, if you have a bike, try
biking to work.
Doing any of the above will tremendously
give you a good exercising experience and of course you get to save some cash.
Reduce the level of sedentary lifestyle
Try as much as possible to include physical
activities in your workday. Add this to
you to-do-list; taking 2 to 3 minutes walk around the office premises. Also
climbing stairs as an alternative to elevator will be awesome. In addition,
instead of sitting hours in board room discussing with your team while not
divide the time. Use part of the time to take a walk round the work premises
with them.
Do not negotiate your workout routine
To achieve your workout goals, it is important
you take it seriously. Stick to the
plan don’t get tired on the way. Even when tiredness and inconsistency set in, do
not be discouraged.
Consistency is vital
for anyone to success in any area of life same applies here. To avoid being
stopped on the way try to carry out the exercising tasks bit by bit, don’t
overdo it.
For instance using three hours daily to
exercise will make you get tired and lose interest.
Do not allow friends, families and other
social activities come in between your workout plans.
Know your best exercise
The type of exercise that is good for Mr A
may not be okay for Mr B. there are various ways to determine the type of
exercise you need. Could it be:
A.
Weight loss
B.
Cardio
C.
Muscle building
D.
Wellness
E.
Yoga
Consider early morning workouts
I believe at this point you have formed the
habit of exercising regularly; I will like to advice you. Consider morning exercise.
Do you know why?
Morning is the best time of the day to workout. All you need to do is plan your
day ahead and wake up earlier.
Why it
is necessary to exercise in the morning include getting the workout activities
done before other daily activities pop their head, your body system is boosted
for optimum metabolism during the day. This enables you to burn more calories than
before during the daily activities.
Exercising earlier keeps you at the right
frame of mind for the day because you seem to be satisfied.
