Seriously, where does time go in a day?
Doesn’t it seem the older one gets, the faster time flies by. As a child, I swear time stood still… just staring at the clock for recess. Now I am just hoping for a few minutes in my day to sit and relax. So in the hectic lives we live, how can we fit in 30 minutes to a hour of daily exercise?
The reality is, we aren’t always going to have a huge chunk of time to hit the gym! Most of us usually just skip exercising entirely. I know if I don’t have an hour to workout out, I just throw my hands up in the air and say forget about it.
It’s a great excuse, don’t you think?
Hmm, ok… maybe not!
This “all or nothing” mentality. Exercise doesn’t only come in the form of 30 minutes or an hour. Split up your workouts on your busy days. Three, 10-minute workouts have been proven to be just as beneficial as working out for 30 minutes straight.
Go for a 15-minute run in the morning. Jump rope for 10 minutes before breakfast, Use 15 minutes out of your lunch break to take a walk or climb up and down your business’s stairs. Go for a short 10 minute evening stroll or bike ride with the family.
No more excuses… Just do it!
Something is better than nothing.
