First, mindset. You control how your time is spent. Maybe running isn’t a priority and you are naturally handling what matters most. If running should be a priority, you should be able to say why. Once you know why, you can decide how much time and how frequently to do it. Then use habit tricks like this app! Find a friend to run with or to hold you accountable. Sleep with gym clothes on and shoes next to the bed. Find a coffee shop to run to, have a drink you like, then run back. That’s what worked best for me with running.
I like to keep a weekly schedule. But the thing about schedules is that sometimes they don’t always work out. So maybe plan out 1 day and stick with it. Or maybe just plan 1 thing in 1 day and stick with it. Once you’re more comfortable with your schedule and you know what works and what doesn’t for you, you can alter it in whichever way you see fit. Start by putting down obligations that you cannot miss: work, class, dropping kids off to school, etc. Once all that is in place, I promise you, you will have time to fit your workout time.
All you have to do is have a set time that you want to exercise. Plan out what you want to get done today and a have a time that you want to take a break set in stone. Make sure that you have the time set at the beginning of the day so you can be prepared to stick to it.
Well, I divided the time on my day in different sections. In each one of those I have something to get done, exercise as well. I usually do it in the early afternoon, so that I feel better to continue my work during the rest of the day. Hopefully I helped you :) Have a nice day!
On my calendar write out exactly what part of my body I am working out and the plan for the day or week the night before . Set Example: full body; 10 burpees 3 sets, 30 sec mountain climbers, 3 sets; 50 glute bridges, 50 plank jacks 3 sets; 30 sec bicep curls burnout 3 sets, 30 sec tricep dips or use weights 3 sets. Stretch
I plan my day the evening before, so when I eat my breakfast I still know what I’m gonna do for today. So I always keep in mind that I have to go for a run today..
Do something short each day like a 7-15min HIIT workout. I rarely get time to go out for a long run, I save that for weekends if I can.
Stop thinking about how you will do it. Get up, put your workout clothes on and do any activity that is fun for you. You will feel accomplished and the rest of your day will be productive.
Honestly I wake up and drink water and then get ready for my run before I drink coffee in the morning. To me it just makes sense to run in the morning
Since it’s quarantine and I’m stuck at home, I have lots of free time. But if you’re having trouble fitting it in, try doing it as the first thing you do when you get up. And it doesn’t have to be an hour or anything, even a ten minute workout is good! Do what you can and if it’s really important to you, then make time for it because it’s worth it 💛
