6 Tips for Fitting Exercise Into Even the Busiest Lifestyles

Most people understand the importance of an active and fit lifestyle. But squeezing in time to work out when you already have a busy schedule is easier said than done. If you want to make exercise more of a priority but live a busy life, this guide is for you. We’ll review a few tips that even the busiest people can use to stay active.

Take the Stairs

This one may seem obvious, but why take an elevator when you can take the stairs? Climbing the stairs adds only a few seconds to your day but provides exceptional fitness benefits. Leave a minute or two early so you can use the stairs on the way to your vehicle if you live in a multi-floor building. Otherwise, arrive at work a few minutes early to climb the stairs before entering the office. No stairs on your daily commute? Park further when arriving at work or when out running errands. If you rely on public transportation to get to and from work, consider getting off a stop or two early and walking the rest of the way to the office.

Invest in a Fitness Coach

A fitness coach allows you to achieve your workout goals much faster. Fitness coaches can cater workout programs to your activity goals, helping you optimize your workouts and avoid activities that may waste time. Over time, your fitness coach will also learn your body’s unique makeup, helping them cater programs that work right for you.

Get an Online Fitness Coach

6 Tips for Fitting Exercise Into Even the Busiest LifestylesWhat’s better than investing in a fitness coach when you’re busy? – Meeting with that fitness coach online. Not only do you get to work out in the comfort of your own home, but you also get to skip the commute times. You don’t have to waste valuable time in traffic, and you’ll likely find it much easier to stick to a schedule when you don’t have to drive somewhere.

An online fitness coach can also help with accountability. No one but you may notice if you skip your workout. However, your fitness coach will notice if you continue canceling or rescheduling sessions.

Put a Timer On Your Workout

The idea of completing a fitness routine may seem overwhelming after a busy day, so instead of making a list of workouts you want to do, consider putting a timer on your workout. Cater your workout routine to your energy level that day. If you’re tired or stressed from work, do a few minutes on the treadmill. On days when you have more energy, you might swap out the treadmill for a jog around the block. And, remember, even a 10-minute workout is better than nothing. Try not to get in the habit of skipping a workout simply because you don’t have an hour or more to commit.

Involve Your Children in Your Workouts

Working parents may find it difficult to fit exercise into their daily schedules. By the time you’re home from work, you switch to parenting duties. When the children are in bed, you’re exhausted and ready to unwind. Increase your workouts by involving your children in them with you. Take a family yoga class together or gather everyone for at least one walk around the neighborhood each week.

Older children may enjoy trying out new sports with you. Working out doesn’t have to mean gym time. It can also mean shooting some hoops in the front driveway or organizing a pick-up soccer game on the weekend. Of course, enrolling the whole family in a family-friendly gym or online fitness coaching session can also be beneficial. Additionally, involving your kids in your workouts demonstrates the importance of an active lifestyle.

You can also use this to set new family goals, like an upcoming hiking trip.

Take Advantage of Your Lunch Breaks

It may be tempting to work through lunch, but doing so just adds to your stress and rarely makes you feel less busy. Make it a point to use your whole lunch hour every day. Give yourself sufficient time to enjoy a healthy meal. Use the rest of the time for a light workout, whether that’s a stroll through the local park or a walk to your favorite coffee shop. Invite a coworker with you, and you’ll both benefit from the activity and social advantages. You might even organize a group lunch walk if you work in a larger company.

Staying active is important for both physical and mental health. Yet, it’s one of the first things that gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list when life gets busy. Use these tips to prioritize staying active and fit, even when juggling work, parenting, relationships, and social responsibilities.
