Tracey’s Sweat Tips for Busy People:
“Choose” something you’re going to do and schedule time to do it, even if it’s only 15 minutes. You’ll feel so much better when you actually follow through on your plan. Not only is it satisfying emotionally but physically too. Obviously seek medical advice if you have any health issues or injuries you’re dealing with before embarking on a new exercise regime.
The biggest obstacle for busy people is often finding the time to exercise, so choose 1 activity and commit to it on a regular basis. You don’t need a complex list of activities to choose from, keep your exercise regime simple at the start, then when you’re actually making the time to sweat you can branch out and add variety to your health regime.
- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is another good way to get started, and something you can do on a regular basis if you live or work in a building with stairs. Just allow a few more minutes to get from A to B….although you may find you’re simply using your usual elevator waiting time to walk!
- Parking your car further away from where you’re going so that you walk there and back can add 15 plus minutes to your daily movement routine without having to find a huge block of time to get moving.
- A brisk walk uphill for 15 minutes will get your heart rate going, walk for longer if you have time and as you build up your fitness, or simply walk until you’re sweating
- Grab a skipping rope and skip, taking time out to rest in between stints. You might do 100 skips and rest for 20 seconds and repeat. Create a routine that works for you and has you sweat
