6 ways how you can keep healthy and fit when you don’t have time


1. Use household objects

Who needs a gym? Use household objects to accelerate your workout. Try doing squats over a dining room chair or triceps dips using a table as support. Use different types of items at home to do biceps curls, front raises, and standing fly’s which have helped to tone your arms, shoulders and chest. You really feel it working and the best thing is you didn’t spend any time or money buying special equipment or commuting to a gym.

2. Three-by-three challenge

A full body workout you can do in 10 minutes: start with three minutes of stepping up and down on a bottom step, followed by three of squats and three of crunches or sit-ups. A 30-second rest between each exercise will keep you going without letting your heart-rate drop too much, so it’s great for both cardio and toning.

 

3. Skip yourself fit

Keep a skipping rope by the sofa and use TV ad breaks as your cue to get moving. Skipping is great for cardio, endurance and coordination – just roll up the rug first and make sure you’ve got enough space to avoid smashing your favorite lamp shade.

 

4. Use sticky notes to motivate you

Important things to remember is use quick sticky notes reminders front of your quick excess area; kitchen, washroom, living room, car, work place etc. Write the short exercises reminders to do each day on a sticky note and put them somewhere quick exercise area where you could easily notice them. After each activity which was anything from a one-minute plank to dancing for three minutes to your favorite song or working just threw the note away. It’s amazing how satisfying it is, by the end of the day, all the notes were gone.

5. Set workout alarms

It's easy to sit for several hours for work at home or office and realize you’ve not moved since excess time, so where you need to set alarm on your phone which went off during the day, reminding you to get up and do a quick three-minute workout. It certainly gave you the kick you needed.

 

6. Exercise with your kids

Head into the garden or Local Park and have an energetic family outdoor game. As well as football, rounder’s and tag rugby, mix things up with hula-hoops, homemade obstacle courses and hopscotch.
