Time management

The most common excuse for not exercising? “No time.” Busy as we may be, we have less trouble finding time for television, social media, etc. But when it comes to taking care of our body, we always seem to have an excuse. I know people want to change their diet and they want to start exercising but they just feel that there is not enough time in their day to do so. The reality is life. Jobs, school, etc. everyone is always going to be busy doing something. Time management is something that we all struggle with. If you want to change how you take care of your body, then you have to start making more of an effort. 

The key to exercising on a regular basis is to make exercise a part of your daily routine. No matter what kind of day you had at work or school, I would bet that you probably still have time to make dinner, take a shower, go on your phone and scroll through social media, make a phone call or facetime your family/friends, watch TV show, etc. Now, if you have time to do all of that after a “busy” day, then you have time to fit a 20-30-minute exercise in. The point is, you need to create a routine that stays the same regardless of the kind of say you had. 

Below are some tips that can help you.

1.    First thing is to meal prep. This is a vital key component when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. This way when you finish working out when you are on your way home and you passed by a McDonald’s you are not tempted as much to go because you already have food prepared at home. This will help you in the long run

2.    The second thing is to pack your gym back the night before. This will allow you to be proactive in the process so when you wake up in the morning you just have to put your clothes on and head out the door. This will save you a lot of time and will make your transition to the gym a lot smoother. 

3.    The last thing is to know your workout at the gym. Never go to the gym trying to “wing” your workout. This will lead to a lot of time being wasted and also not effectively working out. When you have a purpose in mind this will allow you to be extra focused when it comes to working out you will find yourself feeling accomplished when you know the workout that you planned out is complete.

All of these things will help your time management when it comes to working out and focusing on yourself. Write out a schedule of the times you plan to work out and do it.
