What do you do when you have a regular exercise routine (say 20 min in the morning and evening) but you suddenly have other priorities and deadlines that need the extra time? For example exams, presentations etc.

I like to exercise early in the morning at a gym or outdooors. However, sometimes my schedule changes abruptly so I have to go to Plan B which means that I just do old – fashioned calisthenics at home such as plank variations, flutter kicks, pushups, sit ups, squats. It’s better than nothing at all.

I take care of my priorities first and that has been happening a lot. My workouts have been suffering due to my bad eating habits and feeling to tired to workout. I have gained weight

Maybe you can break the 20min into four 5min breaks between studying, etc. This way you give your mind both a break and a boost with a quick workout. Just a suggestion, I hope it helps!

I may shorten the length of regular exercises if I really don’t have time. But normally I have some spare time to use for my hobbies, so I could cut off that time and use it for something important, so that I could continue an exercise routine.

Well, my friend I’ve been through this before. Actually I made sport one of the priorities but when I have exams, instead of practicing for 20 min I would practice for 10 or 12 min.so u need to take off the idea that u won’t practice sport because of extra important activities. okey?! I hope that I helped u 🙏❤️

I have to make my routines as much of a priority as I can. Even if that means doing them in pieces around other things, or at a later time than usual.

remember that skipping a routine occasionally or even several times when you need to does not mean you are giving up. It just means that you have the flexibility to accommodate school and work demands. Make a plan, do what you have to do and then resume your routine. Also twice a day is a lot of exercising. Maybe once a day is more sustainable long term.

I go to bed earlier and wake up earlier to get enough sleep and still have time. If I’m prevented from doing that then I make an alarm for myself as a reminder to complete the activity within the day so I don’t forget.

When I have a presentation coming up, I like to record what I have to say and listen to myself speak. Therefore, I might be able to exercise while listening to that. Also if I were exercising both morning and night, I might give up one of those for a couple of days.

Most of the time I tend to know in advance if there is something important coming up. Knowing this I plan ahead by doubling my excercise the day before. If that’s not possibly then I’ll double the following workout session.
