MAKE THE BEST USE OF THE TIME YOU HAVE
There are days where I just really think I can’t fit it in. I’ve overslept, have an early meeting and 4 pm rolls around and I haven’t even taken the time to move my body. On days like this, I’ll use whatever time I can give to throw something in to just get my body moving. A ten minute yoga class, a Flash 15 minute workout on my Peloton app, a walk around the block with Miller, I find that anytime I just force myself to give 10 minutes, I’m happier and proud of myself for fitting it in!
CREATE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS
I preach this a lot because I really believe in it! If you are consistently making healthy choices in your life, you will find it easier to meet your fitness goals when it becomes part of your lifestyle. Don’t have time to workout? Park in the back of the parking lot when you run errands and get a few extra steps in each errand. Stand at your countertop or sit-to-stand desk for a few hours when working from home! It’s the little healthy lifestyle habits that make up for missing a workout when you don’t have the time to do a full workout.
GIVE YOURSELF GRACE
There will be days where you just can’t fit it in. Progress doesn’t happen overnight so don’t let yourself feel down when you miss one workout that won’t ruin everything you’ve built up. It’s taking those rest days and coming back stronger the next day that make true progress! Don’t be too hard on yourself!
