How do you balance choosing an achievable workout goal for your morning routine with the fact that you may not have enough time in the morning to do a “full workout” then?

By waking up early and having a good night’s sleep. I have noticed that when I get enough sleep, I tend to be more alert and willing to do activities during the day. On the other hand, when I am tired and wake up late, my whole day goes by in a slow motion and I kind of don’t want to do anything. Therefore, I think enough sleep is highly recommended to be able to achieve your workout goal and to feel accomplished and active.

do less! and choose an activity that you don’t have to put on shoes (or pants) for. i personally love a quick 10-15 minute yoga video on youtube, which i can do in the private of my own room, but any exercise that doesn’t require shoes is a good exercise for my mornings. On days that i feel especially motivated, i might go on a walk or jog or something, but this is the exception, not the rule.

I just do something very small like jumping jacks or walking around my house for a little bit. It keeps it from being over complicated or daunting

I choose a small workout that is a combination of muscle activation and stretches. My goal is to wake up the body in preparation of the day. I do this every morning, regardless if I plan to have a full workout or not.

Well, I have enough time in the morning to do a full workout! But if I hadn’t, I think doing exercises everyday is a good solution instead of doing three times a week or less

Yes, actually I started that just recently.. In my work days I only do a quick warm up stretch which takes about 8 to 10 min, then on the weekends I can do slightly longer workouts sessions

I think it’s more important to find a time of day that works for you and your schedule. If it’s not morning, then that’s okay! If you DO want to commit to doing it in the morning, start small, like taking a 5 minute walk or doing a 5 minute YouTube workout. How often have you made a goal to exercise but completely scrapped it because you didn’t have enough time? A little is better than nothing!

I just try to compensate by doing extra walking while at work or create a little time in the evening after supper to do something.

Have a goal for the day. Do what you can in the morning and then if you don’t finish find small breaks in your day to complete it... I do squats while to kettle is boiling or take the stairs instead of an elevator. Pick a basket instead of a trolley at the supermarket. Small things. Good luck!!!

I got a dog to force me outside for exercise and to help my mental health, or do a short video as any exercise is better than none
