I just do 30 squats. I am going to include 10 jumping jacks as well this week. This literally takes 5 minutes to do with no preparation and I can do it from anywhere.
I only need 7 mins. If I don’t have time to do a particular work out then I just include the 10-15 minute walk down a hill on my way to school.
The night before - plan what the workout is going to be (ie. Cardio, circuit, yoga, bike ride, etc) and then set my clothes out and set my alarm.
It’s important to make exercise as easy as possible. We as humans like to make excuses for ourselves and take the path of least resistance because it makes us feel safe. Make sure you put your workout clothes and shoes by the bed so you can jump up out of bed and get straight into them
I always have a good Audiobook and my headphones ready near the door. This motivates me to go out and take a walk while i listen to it
Get enough sleep. Set alarm to allow for exercise and getting ready for work. Ideally have lunch made night before. Set clothes out. Do not press snooze alarm.
I usually exercise in the morning before school, or before we go anywhere or do something fun on the weekend. I also usually like to wake up early so it’s not a problem to wake up extra early to exercise, and naturally on school days I get up early. I really like this app and it has helped me make habits for the good when my life has been crazy!
I use excersises that can be done while in or on the bed. If I want to do other ones I start with these for the right mindset.
I aim to incorporate a walk on the days I’m in the office as I can be very sedentary. I try and commit to my yoga class but I have a dog who needs a fair bit of exercise. My farming is also good as I like taking part in the walking challenges!
I’ve set up a full routine of my day... I prepare myself mentally for the next day before I sleep. The mental picture of my goal body is what also wakes me up. I do home workouts, I use apps to help me structure the kind of exercises I need to do My weekly routine looks like this... 04:30 Exercise 05:00 Pray/Bible study 05:45 Bath 06:00 Prepare the kids 07:00 Leave home for school 13:00-14:00 Read a book 18:00-19:00 cook 19:00 Bath the kids+tuck them in 😴 20:00-22:00 House chores+ prep for school 22:00 Sleep 😴 For me it all boils down to commitment and dedication to your set goals. That feeling of fulfillment after achieving my goals for the day is priceless, it keeps me going
