Finding The Time to Exercise

It seems like there is never enough time in the day for anything; this is especially true when trying to find time to get some exercise in.

When you’re balancing a career, children, and time for yourself, life can be a three-ring circus. Throw in an attempt at maintaining physical fitness, and it gets even more hectic.

Make it a priority

The first step is deciding to make your personal health a non-negotiable. Exercise is not only crucial for warding off disease and preventing injury, it also improves sleep and mental health.

Plan ahead and commit

Whether your job offers the luxury of a week-at-a-glance view, or less than a day’s notice for scheduling, the experts advise that you plan ahead.

Figure out your time

Getting up and moving before the kids wake up or you go to work doesn’t have to be painful, and helps ensure success; or if time permits, fit your fitness routine in after work or after the kids have gone to bed.

Be efficient

Your workout doesn’t need to be a big production and having the support of a loving partner, extended family, or friends will help you to reach your fitness goals.

Make every moment matter

Especially when your kids are little or your job has you working long hours, finding “me time” can be almost impossible; the key is get a schedule that works best for you and stick to it.
The most difficult thing is to sticking to a schedule; if you can stick with it, soon it becomes part of your daily routine. Then the only thing you will need to do is find time to do the grocery shopping.
