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 you 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.
