Workout Anytime

For most people, life just seems to get busier and busier as the years go on. Whether it’s kids, jobs, volunteer work or something else, finding time to fit in exercise can seem impossible sometimes. And if you’re one of the millions of Americans who struggles with chronic pain or a chronic disease (like fibromyalgia, arthritis or diabetes), traditional exercise can be too painful to be effective. 

Thankfully, there are lots of ways to make small changes in your daily routine that will help you fit exercise into even the busiest days of your life!

It only takes 10 minutes

No matter how busy life gets, you can always find 10 minutes for a workout. It’s all about prioritizing your time and figuring out what is most important to you. Here are a few ways that you can use 10 minutes to fit in some exercise.

– Wake up at 5am and go for a walk before work (2 miles in 10 minutes) – Take the dog for a quick walk after dinner instead of watching TV (1 mile in 10 mins) – Get off the bus one stop early on your way home from work (1 mile in 5 mins) – Ride your bike instead of driving when running errands around town (10 miles in 30 minutes) – Visit the gym right after work instead of going straight home (30 minutes at the gym)

 

Create a habit out of it

You don’t have time for the gym? You can still fit in a workout anytime with these 3 simple exercises.

1. Sit-ups 

Sit down on your mat with your knees bent and then lean back so your upper body is resting on the ground. Now, bring your feet up towards your stomach and hold them there as you perform a situp by bending at the waist and bringing your head close to your knees. Repeat this motion until you feel it in your abs. Once that happens, stop and stretch out the muscles of your back before starting again.

2. Push-ups 

The push-up is one of the simplest ways to get a workout in when you’re short on time. Perform 10-20 repetitions of this exercise by lying face down with your hands flat on the floor next to your shoulders and then pushing yourself up off the ground until arms are fully extended above you. Don’t worry about form or counting reps – just work on getting some movement into those pecs!

3. Squats 

Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart and then bend from the hips, lowering your butt all the way to the ground while keeping your back straight. Keep going until you feel an intense burn in your quads (the muscles running down the front of each thigh). Hold this position for 5 seconds before standing up straight again and repeating for 15 more squats.

 

Track your progress

I’m so glad I found workout anytime. I can start a workout session anywhere at any time of day and not worry about how long it will take me to get in a workout or what type of equipment I have available. I don’t need to workout when the gym is open, because workout anytime works out of my home and also on my phone! 

It’s also really easy to use with just five steps. First, you choose a routine. Second, set your time commitment. Third, enter your goals (whether they are weight-loss goals or performance goals). Fourth, pick an intensity level (low intensity for beginners and high intensity for pros) and finally press start! You’ll be able to track your progress using all sorts of graphs and visual representations. 

You’ll see exactly where you are making progress, which workouts are working best for you, and which ones aren’t doing much good. And if there is ever anything that bothers you about the app – maybe the graphics could be better or something like that – then let them know! They’re always updating their service as feedback comes in from users.

 

Change your mindset from dreading exercise to looking forward to it

First, think of yourself as a runner. One of the best things about running is that you can do it anytime, anywhere. The same goes for exercise. You can constantly figure out how to fit in an exercise. Even if you don’t have time for an hour-long session or access to a gym, there are many ways to work out just about anywhere!

 

Find the right time for you

If you have difficulty finding time for exercise, there are a few things you can do to make it easier. First, try setting aside a specific time each day that works best for your schedule and stick with it. Whether that means scheduling workouts in the morning before work or at night after dinner, try dedicating an hour of your day so you don’t have to worry about fitting it in.
