6 Fitness Tips To Adopt When You Feel Like You're Too Busy To Get Fit

If you really want to start making moves towards a more fit lifestyle but feel like you have no time to even think about driving to the gym, keep reading.

Even small habit transformations can make a big difference over time. Here are my top 6 fitness jumpstart hacks for people who feel like they have no time.

1. Start With Simple Exercises

If you've been completely putting off exercising, it's time to get it in gear.

The reality is that you don't need a fancy fitness routine to gain momentum, you just need to GET STARTED.

You've probably heard of the commonly shared acronym K.I.S.S. :

Keep It Simple, Stupid Sweetie.

When you feel like there aren't enough hours in the day and you only have 20 minutes to whip up a butt kickin' workout- keep it simple, sweetie!

Some simple exercises that you can do anywhere, regardless of what kind of equipment you have access to includes:

squats
lunges
deadlifts
push-ups
dips
planks
crunches

2. Be The Most Hydrated Person You Know

Okay, so you don't actually have to be the most hydrated person you know but if you make it a secret and one-sided competition in your head, you're probably going to be more hydrated than you are today (and everyone else in the room). Am I right?

Staying super hydrated will help you:

boost your energy levels
be able to think more clearly
kickstart your metabolism
regulate your body temperature
flush out toxins from your system
recover from your workouts faster

So before you reach for that super caffeinated, bean water in the morning, challenge yourself to drink double the amount of water as you plan on drinking in coffee.

Also, don't forget to out-hydrate everyone you see drinking water. Double it! 🏆

3. Embrace The Post-Workout Snack

Whether you embrace a post-workout snack or meal, the key here is to focus on protein.

Not only will the protein help to repair your muscles, but it's going to help you feel satiated over the next few hours and keep your paws out of the pantry.

4. Put Meal Prep On Your Calendar

Now I know what you're thinking, "Wait, isn't this article for people who don't have time?"

Yes, exactly. The 2 hours it will take you to prep 8 meals is actually going to save you a ton of time!

So put it on your calendar and make it happen like it's your job.

5. Focus On Transforming One Habit At A Time

If there's one takeaway that you have from this post, please let it be this: focus on transforming one habit at a time.

Choose one habit, get laser focused on that one thing until it becomes second nature, and then move onto the next habit.

When people try to change everything all at once, they end up feeling overwhelmed, confused, and they throw in the not-even-sweaty towel! Don't do that.

Keep your head in the game and commit to making progress.

6. Practice Intermittent Fasting

Even the busiest person ever can do this one, because it's actually taking someone off of your to-do list: eating every few hours.

Typically, fasting hours are between 16-20 consecutive hours, but it can be as little as 12 hours or up to 36 hours.

While intermittent fasting, you can drink calorie-free foods, such as green tea, water, and black coffee.

You can give it a try by starting with skipping breakfast! Easy enough, right?
