I asked you what you struggled with and most of you admitted that fitting in workouts is tough stuff.
Been there. Done that. Bought the T Shirt.
Here’s the deal, if sweating is important and actually a priority, you will make time. You will set the 4am alarm. You will skip brunch on Sunday. You will get it done. The key is to book your workouts like a meeting.
Sunday, I sit down with my planner and prioritize my week. First, I make sure to have all my work, meetings and trainings in because those not only involve other people but they also pay my rent sooooooo it’s important.
The second thing that goes in are my workouts. Wednesday’s are for personal training. Next I figure out what days I have time to drive (fairly far) to F45 and book those classes. Finally I add in my lifts, aiming for 2 upper body// 2 lower body days.
I schedule my workouts for SEVEN days a week. Why? Because if it floods or if I get a flat tire or if my schedule suddenly hits the fan, I don’t have to stress about missing a workout. Also, I find that when I take a real rest day I struggle in my workouts for two days after. I live for an active rest day…taking a walk, a little yoga//pilates or just foam rolling makes me feel like a better human.
Anyway, then I add in little things like what Im eating, Trader Joe’s, laundry, cleaning and Southern Charm (Cam is my GIRL).
Sometimes fitting in my workout means setting that early alarm or going to lift when I would much rather be curled up in bed reading. Sometimes it’s jump squat burpees at the park with the kids I watch.
If you really want to get it done, you will find a way 100% of the time.
