We
all have busy lives going on right now. Between work and family commitments, it
can be difficult to find some time just for you. Of course, this includes
finding the right amount of time for your health and fitness training
throughout the week. Follow these tips below to ensure that your workouts can
stay on track and you can have a perfect week every week.
Have a Fitness Plan in Place
If
you walk into a gym without a proper plan, then you are pretty much just
wasting time and winging it as you go along. Always have a fitness plan in
place for best results. In fact, this plan could be used week after week. For
instance, the first part of your workout can consist of strength training and
the last part could be your cardio time. Always do strength training first as
you will be able to lift heavier weight while still fresh. If you wait to do
strength training after cardio, you are going to be a bit exhausted and it
won’t go nearly as well.
Chop Up Your Body Parts
I’m
not talking about turning into the next serial killer, just dividing up your
workouts by focusing on training different body parts. As an example, Monday
could always be chest day strength training and exercise bike for cardio.
Wednesday could be bis and tris followed by time on the elliptical. Friday
might as well be back and shoulders with time on the treadmill. Sunday could be
for strictly legs and then you start all over again on Monday.
Finding the Time
You have to work with the schedule you have. If you have little children and their bedtime is seven or eight at night, you might have to get used to late night workouts. Or, on the other hand, you could start your morning out with training at 5am. Determine a schedule you can stick with that fluctuates very little so you can keep doing your training week after week without interruption.
