Six simple steps to make your health and fitness a priority if you have a busy scheduleâ¨
Are you that person who is trying to do all the things- go to work, do projects, spend time with family and friends, do self care, etc. Then youâre left wondering how you could possibly make time to eat right and workout? Sometimes life can be so overwhelming and leaving us feeling like there is no way we can get everything in.
Girl, I got you. Here are my suggestions on what has worked for me and my clients with our crazy schedules:
1. Look at your schedule before the week starts, and block off time for your workouts where you can. Whether that is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour. Will it work best in the morning, on your lunch break, or before bed? Whatever it is, BLOCK OFF THAT TIME so it can get done. Donât let anything else come on during that time.
2. Block off time on your schedule for meal prepping. Donât have hours to meal prep? Buy frozen or canned vegetables, bags of microwave rice, and frozen protein you can thrown in the oven and forget about until itâs ready.
3. Workout with a friend. That way you are getting in your social time + a workout. This also helps hold you more accountable and makes working out fun. Just make sure you are spending your time working and not over talking.
4. Workout efficiently. Do supersets and time your rest periods. Boom. You get more done in less time.
5. Focus on ENERGY MANAGEMENT over time management. Often times we feel like we have less time when we are not energized, hence- we perceive that there is no time to workout. If you are able to, try to get your workout in when you have the most energy during the day.
6. Decide that you are a person who makes health and fitness is a priority and make it so. If there is truly a will, there is always a way.
