Lets face facts, we can all find time to train, those who say otherwise, I believe are making excuses.
Its all about making time, prioritising what’s important and having the will and consistency to achieve what you set out to do.
Many successful people make a decision and quietly get on without letting the whole world know. Not only do they achieve what they wanted to but usually keep that consistency going. We can all learn from that, you just need to be self disciplined and take pride in what you are doing.
Too busy to train?
You don’t have to train for long to make a difference and gain benefits, its all in how you train. Here are just a few examples:
– 15 mins at home
-a combination of squats and lunges is an excellent lower body workout.
– 15 min lunchtime walk then the plank for your core strength, make sure this is before you eat.
– 12 min workout on a mini trampoline at home
-alternate 30secs quick knees, followed by 30secs jog.
-Find a hill or a set of steps, work hard to the top, then walk down
– max 8 repetitions. 8 minute run from your house, then try to return in a quicker time.
– In your garden 20- seconds work, 20 rest – using some or all the exercises below for a maximum of 15 mins
– Running on the spot, quick knees Press ups – easier options knees on the ground or press up against the wall
– Lunges
– Stomach crunches
– Star jumps
– Tricep dips on a bench
Its down to you how hard you train, as you progress you will learn to push yourself out of your comfort zone. By the time you have made a cup of tea and checked your phone you could have completed your workout. The amount of time lost by endlessly surfing your phone is huge, why not use that time to benefit your life?
Benefits of a short workout
– It keeps you on the right path and in healthy habits, therefore you are more likely to stick with it, improving your mind and body.
– 15 or 50 mins it’s still worth it gives your metabolism a boost.
– Reduces stress, improves your mood, gives you energy and clears your mind Its too easy to let our day to day life take over, when in reality we all can find time to train and look after our bodies and mind.
Research shows that you actually get more done and you are more effective in what you do when you have exercised.
David’s summing up: From now on find time, not excuses.
