It’s difficult, but one thing I began this year is focusing on my posture and engaging different muscle groups when I’m doing my everyday tasks.

I’ve recently been practicing the 10 minute mindset. Basically what this mindset means is, you can always fit 10 minutes in. And it doesn’t need to be more than that. This mindset works for almost everything. I usually drink my water and then do my work out in my pj’s for no more than 10 minutes. This has really worked for me

It’s either super early to get it out of the way or super late once everything from the day is settled. Sometimes if there’s time during the day that works to.

I do it directly after waking up and drinking water, i take the mat without even thinking and do a 7 minute workout, before the duties of the day kick in, we make time to check the phone so 7 minutes of workout are perfectly managable. Although if you want to go for a longer one I would do it only 3 times a week so that you have to change your schedule accordingly for just three days

I either wake up a little earlier than normal or I try to incorporate in my going to work routine. I usually prefer waking up a little earlier. I like to have been awake for a while before heading to work anyway. Besides, I tell myself that it’s only 8 minutes of exercise. I can spare 8 minutes.

I schedule my day out the night before. Waking up earlier at 6am and getting it out of the way helps. I’m not a morning person but today getting up at 6. Giving myself 30 minutes to just wake up and then starting a workout at 6:30 is great

Exercise often wakes you up, you have more energy afterwards so the true problem is discipline and motivation. After a long day of work when all you want to do is sit down and relax, don’t! Come home and crack out some exercise routines and after exercise you will feel more ready to make supper or do whatever you have to do that evening instead of feeling super tired and disappointed you haven’t fit exercise into your day yet again.

It helps me to schedule some time and stick to it, especially mornings. Having a FitOn workout in mind is also helpful, especially if you look forward to it.

I have my work our sessions either very early at the start of the day or at the end of the day once the hustle and bustle is over. Discipline is key.

Do either Fablous' 7-minute workout or 10-minute workout first thing in the morning. Alternatively, integrate it into your commute. Can you run to work? Cycle? Think about when you get there – can you shower and change?
