3 Ways to Work Out When You Have a Busy Schedule

Home / Exercise and Diet / 3 Ways to Work Out When You Have a Busy Schedule

Focusing on your fitness can be difficult these days. According to surveys, families are busier than ever. Our fast-paced lifestyle has made finding time to work out a challenge.

That’s not to say you should give up on achieving your wellness goals. On the contrary, it’s still important to make your fitness a priority, no matter how busy you are. You simply need to figure out how to fit it into your schedule.

If you’re the type of person who thinks finding time for exercise is a lost cause, these tips might change your mind.

Use Work Breaks Wisely

You need to start slow when embracing fitness. If you haven’t worked out in a long time, you don’t want to put yourself at risk of injury by diving into an exercise routine your body isn’t prepared for.

That’s why many people start with walking. Regular walks yield wide-ranging health benefits, while also helping you build your strength and stamina for more intense activities.

Walking is also something you can do during lunch breaks at work. Even with a busy lifestyle, you can find time for this activity.

Work Out During Leisure Time

Setting aside time to relax and turn off your brain is important. Research shows giving yourself breaks is actually key to your mental and emotional well-being.

In other words, you don’t need to sacrifice your weekly night in front of the TV if you’re making time for fitness. You can simply combine activities. With resistance bands, you can perform rows while seated on a couch. Or, you can do a set of crunches or jumping jacks during commercial breaks. If you do own weights or other fitness equipment, keeping them near a TV will make you more inclined to actually use them while relaxing with your favorite show.

Again, you don’t need to completely adjust your schedule to prioritize wellness. You just need to use your time creatively.

Appreciate the Value of Small Activities

Even seemingly minor fitness activities can have a major impact on your health. Next time you’re taking care of certain household tasks, remember that these count towards fitness, too. Chores like yardwork, vacuuming and mopping all burn calories. The important thing is that you’re staying active and moving.

You may also consider running in place. While it doesn’t burn as many calories or build as much strength as running on a track or road, a 150-pound person could still burn nearly 300 calories in one hour of running in place.

These are just a few examples of fitness activities you can participate in while tackling daily responsibilities. The main point to remember is that your busy schedule shouldn’t get in the way of your health. These three basic ideas serve as reminders that prioritizing wellness is an achievable goal for just about everyone.
