Life can get busy but it’s still a priority of mine to get to the gym and get in my workouts. Sometimes traveling for business or depending on where I’m working can take me out of my routine, but I know that being consistent is ultimately what is going to make the difference. You have to win each day and the days compound over time. Here are three of my go-to workouts for busy days:
1. Quick gym workout
Sometimes if time is limited, I’ll go to the gym anyway and do some circuit training. This usually means I find a machine for each muscle group and rep to failure for 2 – 3 sets for each exercise.
2. At home
If I can’t make it to the gym, I’ll find a way to get 30 minutes of cardio in for the day or break it up into two 15-minute sessions which could be a walk or jog, or both. This might also include sit-ups and pushups in-between meetings.
3. Online
My last go-to workout for busy days is using my phone to find a training session led by a fitness trainer. Apple offers Fitness+ which is a pretty good program with a wide variety of workouts that can be done from home.
I have always believed that getting in a workout session is more important than the quality. Just showing up enables me to keep the momentum going enough to where the quality will emerge from the routine.
