Yes, the pun in the title was intended. But lack of time is a common barrier that you might have come across – even if you want to work out, your calendar might be too full. When you have other commitments to work, family, or friends, it can be difficult to fit the recommended three hours of exercise into your schedule every week. Here are some ideas for incorporating exercise into a busy schedule.
At work
Get active while doing other tasks. When you are at work, you might be inclined to sit all day – take breaks by walking when you are on the phone, and consider investing in a standing desk.
At home
Avoid sitting on the couch while watching television. Instead, put a stationary bike or other exercise machine in front of the TV, or do exercises during commercial breaks.
During your commute
If you take public transportation to work, get off a stop or two early and walk the rest of the way. If you drive, park your car farther away from the entrance to extend your walking time.
With friends
Next time you’re making plans with friends, suggest going on a hike, walk, or bike ride together. The Bay Area is home to countless beautiful, well-maintained trails – it’s a great chance to experience nature while getting social time.
