Don’t have time to workout some days? Make time and sneak it in. Set a goal to do some exercise every time you have a break or at a certain time interval (every hour or hour and a half). Or if you’re watching TV, then every commercial.
There is time. You just have to be disciplined to find it or make it.
Work in an office or at a desk? Every hour or so, stand up and do some bodyweight squats or other exercise for 30s – 60s. Or if you work at home or have a flexible schedule? Knock out some bodyweight exercises every hour for one minute a minute or so.
You can do squats, pushups, lunges, planks or situps or even go walk a few flights of stairs.
Sometimes at the Fire Academy when we’re in the classroom all day, me and a few firefighters will knock out a set of pushups at every break. By the end of the day, that’s an extra 100-200 pushups completed as opposed to just going to the vending machine for something terrible. And it didn’t really cost us any extra time.
I promise all these little times will add up. Not only will it help give you a boost of energy but can also boost your metabolism and burn some extra calories. Plus you’ll make healthier choices since fitness is on your mind. Make time and sneak it in.
