Five Ways to Fit Fitness Into Your Life
©Rick DeToma
Everyone is pressed for time these days. It does
not have to mean that fitness can't be a part of
your life. In as little as 10 minutes a day, you
can begin to make positive changes to your body.
People often have an all or nothing idea about
exercise. They feel that if they can't fit in an
hour of exercise that they will do nothing
instead.
Successful exercisers make fitness an important
part of their lives. Try scheduling your time to
exercise like you would any other appointment.
If you are struggling to fit exercise into your
day, try these fitness tips:
1. Tackle one body part per day and perform as
many reps as it takes to reach failure. Or set a
rep goal for yourself and do as many sets as it
takes to reach your goal.
2. Exercise while you watch TV. (Don't just sit
there, DO something.) Why not do some crunches, or
leg extensions while watching the tube? How about
some lunges? Anything yo can do in a gym sitting
down, you can do at home sitting down in front of
the tube.
3. Superset your workouts. Put two exercises
together and perform them one after another with
no rest in between. You can either do a mixed
superset of an upper and lower move combined, or
you can choose two opposing muscle groups like
chest and back.
4. Combine 2 moves into 1. Any time you perform a
lower body exercise and your arms are not involved
you miss out on a time-saving opportunity.
Try performing a lunge with a curl, or lateral
raise. Or a squat with on overhead press.
You could create an entire workout around this
concept and divide up your body parts and
exercises so that you keeps things fresh.
5. Circuit training. Select a number of exercises
for your entire body and perform them as a circuit
with little or no rest in between. Repeat as time
allows for 2-3 circuits.
People will always find excuses to not exercise.
These tips show you how to fit exercise into the
busiest of schedules and get the benefits of
regular exercise.
It's not about finding the time to exercise, it's
about MAKING the time to exercise. No matter how
busy you are. It's always better to do something
than nothing.
