The only thing that works for me is to get up earlier: I prefer consistency over length when it comes to exercising because I cannot commit to one hour dedicated to training every morning, but I sure can do 15 minutes. It helps my overall mood and energy levels as well as stress tolerance. But then not all days I can pull this off and it\u2019s OK!<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-2323501273\"><div id=\"thefa-1241672278\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop procrastinating.

I believe that as long as your body is moving, you can somewhat count that as exercise. If you have a limited amount of time, you can opt to do a 5-10 mins workout or even use jump rope or do jumping jacks for 5 mins.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Addison A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">We\u2019ll my first piece of advice would be to find a time and place to exercise. One of my pet peeves is when people say something like \u201cAw man, I don\u2019t have time to work out.\u201d That\u2019s nonsense. Everyone has time to work out. you\u2019d just be rather doing something else like scrolling through TikTok. Now I know that sentence might of came across as me scolding you, I\u2019m not. I\u2019m just saying you have time for what you have time for. Which brings me to my second piece of advice: remove distractions. My final piece of advice for you is to reward yourself whenever you finish exercising. Whenever you do something you enjoy after completing a rather challenging task, the more you want to do the challenge because you know something good is waiting for you when you finish. Any ways thank you for asking me for my advice. And I wish you the best of luck exercising and raising those two kids. I can\u2019t imagine what it must feel like raising two young children all by yourself. Single Mom\u2019s are one of the real life superhero\u2019s of the world. Have a great day! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lunilum N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Of course in that situation that might be very hard. But remember that everything counts. On super busy days I simply do light exercise or even just some squats and call it a day. The point is to keep up the routine. So the standard might be to do some form of exercise everyday even though the goal is to do an hour each day. But this way one doesn&#39;t have to lose the streak and still build a routine by meeting standards and not goals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Salvador U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I am not married I am a teenager who is 17 year old well finding time is also hard for me so waking up early is the only way<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark T.
