Busy working people find it difficult to find time for sports. But this does not mean that they will not be able to put their bodies in order and lead a healthy lifestyle. You need to adjust your schedule, exercise less in time, but more intensely, form the habit of exercising regularly.
Instructions
Step 1
Fitness magazines, articles on sports and a healthy lifestyle urge you to devote your body at least three times a week for an hour and a half, and better all five times for two hours. Most working people cannot afford it: it only takes at least half an hour both ways to get to the gym, another half hour is spent in the locker room and in the shower, you also need to have time to warm up and stretch. It seems impossible to find three hours on a weekday, from morning to evening, scheduled by the hour.
Step 2
But even in conditions of lack of time, you can train effectively. First, you need to prioritize correctly. If health and a beautiful body really stand for you in one of the first places, then you will find time to practice. For example, a workout can be done instead of an hour-long evening TV series, instead of going to a manicure salon, instead of your favorite computer game.
Step 3
Second, you need to create a habit. It never occurs to anyone to complain that they don't have time to shower, brush their teeth, prepare food, or eat, although many of these daily rituals take a long time. You have to get up earlier in order to tidy yourself up and have breakfast. If training becomes the same obligatory habit, an indispensable ritual, there will always be time for it. You can get up an hour earlier, use your lunch break, set aside time in the evenings. The ideal time is in the morning, in the evening it is more difficult to force yourself, but it is easier to find the reasons why you are not in time today.
Step 4
Thirdly, it is not necessary to practice for 1, 5-2 hours. The main thing in sports is regularity. Much more benefit will bring weekly workouts without skipping for 20-30 minutes than two-hour torture of your body in the gym, but from time to time. Try to shorten your class time as much as possible. To save time, exercise at home or on a nearby sports field, no need to waste time traveling to a fitness club. Master high-intensity interval training, in which complex exercises are done at a fast pace with short breaks. Their duration is about 20 minutes, while the benefits of a lesson are no less than a full-fledged one and a half hour classic workout.
Step 5
Fourth, instead of three times a week, you can do five to six times, but halve the duration of the workout. It is often easier to set aside half an hour every day than an hour every other day. But in this case, it is important to load different muscle groups on different days so that they have time to recover. For example, alternate upper and lower body exercises, or do strength and cardio workouts every other day.
Step 6
If it so happens that on some day there is no time and energy left for a full-fledged lesson, try to conduct a light version of the workout. Allocate at least 10-15 minutes, do a warm-up, a few of your favorite exercises, stretch, and you can assume that there was no gap. This will allow you to feel free from guilt and form a habit.
