Working out on a daily basis is
no easy feat. Most of us are pressed for time. As a result, learning how to fit
a workout in regardless of how hectic your life is can be of the utmost
importance if you’re looking to get fit for the long haul.
Allowing momentum to
dictate yourworkout schedule is a sure way to suffer from soreness, athletic performance
and weight loss plateaus, thus further setbacks and disappointments with your training
and fitness levels.
As a result, here are two
guidelines to help you squeeze a workout in even if you’re pressed for time.
Make a plan
The first step toward making
exercise a natural part of your everyday life is a good plan. Good plans lead
to good execution. Lack of a plan can spell disaster on your vision—whether to
lose weight or to get your next job promotion. Therefore, make sure to take the
time to create your training plan.
Make your goals achievable. Keep
your workout plan simple and make sure it contains a variety of workouts and
training approaches so you can beat the boredom factor and steer clear of
injury. This will ensure that you keep on improving your endurance and fitness
levels.
Build the
habit
As long as exercise is not a
habit in your life, you won’t achieve progress. One of the best ways to build a
habit is to opt for a realistic training program and stick with it for at least
four consecutive weeks.
To ensure you stick to your
workout plan, make sure to opt for shorter training sessions. No need for a
time-consuming workout at this point. If you prefer long workouts, save them
for the weekends or when you’ve got some extra time on your hands. Just don’t
put pressure on yourself to constantly have long workouts.
For the time being,
your focus should be on making exercise consistent. After a while, aim to
gradually increase the training length and intensity.
