020: Staying Active During A Busy Life

In this episode we talk about the ways of staying active during a busy life. It happens to the best of us. We plan to get any activity or workout in, but then the day gets away from us. Whether the day never lets up, or it just feels like "what's the point now" it doesn't get done for the rest of the day. Use the points in this episode to help fit in your fitness and time for you. 

When you're busy, it's essential to find creative ways to stay active. Here are some strategies:

1. **Break it Down:** Fit in short bursts of activity throughout your day, even if it's just 10 minutes at a time.
2. **Maximize Efficiency:** Choose workouts that give you the most bang for your buck, like HIIT or circuit training.
3. **Prioritize Activities:** Identify activities that you enjoy and that give you the most benefit, then prioritize them in your schedule.
4. **Incorporate Movement:** Look for opportunities to move more during your daily tasks, like pacing while on phone calls or doing squats while waiting for food to cook.
5. **Schedule Workouts:** Treat exercise as non-negotiable appointments in your calendar to ensure they happen.
6. **Be Flexible:** Don't get discouraged if your routine gets disrupted. Be flexible and find alternative ways to stay active.
7. **Use Technology:** Utilize fitness apps or online workout videos for quick and convenient exercise sessions.
8. **Combine Activities:** Incorporate physical activity into activities you already do, like walking meetings or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
9. **Delegate and Share Responsibilities:** Delegate tasks when possible to free up time for exercise, and share responsibilities with family or colleagues to lighten your load.
10. **Stay Consistent:** Consistency is key. Even small, consistent efforts can add up to significant benefits over time.
