What If I Don’t Have Time To Exercise
How To Fit Your Exercise Routine On A Busy Day
We must use time wisely and forever realise that the time is always ripe to do right.
Nelson Mandela ‧ Philanthropist and President of South Africa
Exercise and moving your body, even for short amounts of time, is one of the most essential daily habits for your health. Every exercise or workout doesn’t have to be a sweat-inducing marathon of activity.
Especially for those people short on time. Quick exercises throughout the day are a great supplement to occasional high-intensity or strength workouts. Each person should make time for physical activity, but for those periods of time when you can’t seem to squeeze in an ideal fitness or weight loss routine, it’s essential that you don’t become completely inactive.
Honestly, no one lacks time all the time. People lack the willpower and motivation and those two qualities start in your mind with psychology. So, now stop making excuses and look for solutions. We could all use some help to find ways to squeeze in physical activity, so here are a few simple ways to fit exercises into your daily schedule.
Do Bed Push ups
A workout or exercise where you don’t have to leave the comfort zone. We recommend starting your day by using your bed to get in a few push ups or push ups and plank ― and all you need is 60 to 90 seconds.
Since you’ll be working on an unstable surface, the bed will force your body to work twice as hard, as opposed to performing this exercise on the floor. Simple, efficient and takes just about 1 minute...
FACT: Exercise and moving your body, even for short amounts of time, is one of the most essential daily habits for your health.
Walk To Nearby Stores
Finding opportunities to walk is one of the first-class strategies for busy people trying to keep their bodies in motion. If you have a lengthy list of errands, consider what you can accomplish within walking distance. You may end up carrying two bags of groceries for a bit of a hike, but your body will thank you for the extra effort and exercise.
Use Basket When Buying Groceries
Choose a basket instead of a shopping trolly at the store and burn extra calories in 30-minutes. Just make sure to switch arms to make sure you’re working both sides evenly. Just like that, simple as ABC...

Take The Stairs
A simple swap like this can make a sizeable difference. Parking in the back of a lot at the store, so you walk further and taking the stairs instead of an escalator in the mall, are simple ways to torch a few extra calories.
Try to implement this hack is easy as a pie everywhere you can. Surprisingly, a 185-pound person can burn almost 180 calories by climbing stairs for 20 minutes, and just a few minutes per day of stair-climbing can improve the health of your heart.
Park Your Car Far Away
This good classic piece of advice often goes ignored. Instead of driving around looking for the suitable spot nearby, park your car as far away from your destination as you can handle.
If you’re worried about time, turn this lengthy walk to the store into a high-energy power-walk. You’ll manage to get some steps in quickly, so next time you pull into a parking lot at a supermarket, remember this brilliant opportunity to stretch your legs.
TIP: If you’re worried about time, turn the long walk to the store into a high-energy power-walk.
The Bottom Line
One more time - no one lacks time so much, so stop making excuses right now, right here. If you don’t have time for the gym, do the exercises at home. Spend at least 5 to 10 minutes a day, consisting of pushups, sit-backs, jumping jacks and jogging. Exercise smarter, not longer.
Prioritise your health, no matter how busy you are. Being healthy is a win-win situation, and it gives you more energy so you can be more productive and... have more time!
