Busy Woman Guide: 4 Ways to Get Your Workout In

Its a New Year and you’ve promised yourself a New You. You’re trying to change what you eat and get to the gym; however sometimes time is not on your side and before you know it the day is over without a workout. Its time to solve the time crunch problem and make sure that you fulfill the promise you’ve made to yourself.

If finding time to do your flat stomach workout, is an extreme issue some days, try one of these four ways to ensure that you get your heart rate elevated at some point and burn fat everyday.

#1 Walk the Dog

Walking the dog is a great way to get your heart rate elevated. Not only that, they make a pretty good workout companion and will keep you going everyday, even when you may not want too. Don’t have a dog? No problem – head out for a 15 minute walk, whether it be during the day at work, before or after work.

#2 Wake Up Earlier

If you know you aren’t going to have time to get to the gym after work – try getting there before. Wake up 30 minutes earlier and either do a quick bodyweight circuit at home, go for a walk outside, or head to the gym.  Studies have shown that people who workout in the morning are more likely to stick with their fitness routines, therefore seeing better results.

#3 Lunchtime

If its a busy day and you won’t be able to get to the gym after work, try heading to the gym at lunch. Not enough time? Instead of going out to lunch with the co-workers why don’t you all go for a walk? Heading out for some fresh air and heart rate elevation will get you feeling refreshed and ready to work again after lunch. Not to mention it’ll help you squeeze in some type of workout – which is better than no workout at all!

#4 Keep the Appointment

You’ve set the goals for yourself and the only way you’re going to get there is if you keep your appointment at the gym. You can’t cancel your doctors appointments without 24 hours notice – you shouldn’t be canceling your gym time either. If working out and losing weight is important to you, canceling your sessions should not be an option.

No more excuses. The time is now. Next time time seems to be slipping away and a workout doesn’t seem likely – try one of these four tips to ensure you are burning fat no matter what.

    spot on Melissa! Number 4 is the key. People have meetings everyday at work. Schedule your workout in the diary as another one of those must attend meetings.

    Besides, you’ll probably have a more productive meeting with your workout then some of those other time wasting ones!
