Exercise right after work:
I used to attend a bootcamp class a couple of afternoons a
week. If you must save your workout for later in the day,
here’s the sure-fire approach that worked for me. I went
straight to the gym from work, and I put on my workout
clothes and shoes before leaving the office. Many days when
I was tired, this was the only thing that kept me showing up.
Bonus tip: Once you’re wearing the clothes, you gotta go!
Keep it simple:
If it’s too hard or complicated, you won’t do it. Don’t rely on willpower and
then beat yourself up for being lazy. Group classes and workout videos are
great ways to keep your workouts simple—just show up and follow directions!
No homework for creating a game plan.
Do HIIT if you’re really in a time crunch:
In 20 minutes, you can fit in a killer high intensity interval
training session. It’s all about how hard you push yourself.
Bonus tip: Try our killer 15-Minute Anywhere Workout!
Plan ahead:
If you have a plan, you’ll more easily follow through. When I was
into workout videos, I’d get everything set up the night before:
the dvd in the player, the workout space cleared, and my shoes and
weights right by the TV. Then, I could just fall out of bed in the morn-
ing and jump right into it before I even thought of any excuses.
