7 Workout Tips For Busy Bees

Lifestyles are becoming more and more sedentary and stressful, and it is difficult to find time for yourself. How can one expect to sneak in time to work out to maintain a healthy body? It might not be as difficult as it seems, and you can subtly blend exercise in your daily routine to keep you on the move without compromising on your schedule. Here are ways to turn mundane daily activities into a workout to keep you active and energetic.

1. Workout while you commute: through the day, most of our time is "wasted" while commuting to and from office. Turn this time into workout time. The easiest thing to do is to stash your essentials: your keys, cash and cards, IDs and phone, a spare change of clothes; in a fanny bag and jog to work. Most people prefer to do so on their way back. You choose whatever suits you best. For people who take the subway or bus, get off a few stops earlier and walk it out from there. If you drive to work, park your car farther away and walk. Have the will and you shall find a way.

2. Set an early alarm: mornings are the best time for a workout, but getting to work can be more pressing. The solution: sleep in your workout clothes and get to it the minute you wake up. Resetting your routine to a healthier one by getting to bed early and waking up early will make you feel more energized and good to go. It will also aid in planning out your day better and making time for important things.

3. Workout at lunch: switch having lunch at your desk for a precious 60 minute gym or jog session. This will invigorate you for the other half of the day and boost productivity. You will lose those inches and keep your waistline in check, you boss will be happier with your increased efficiency.

4. Work out at your desk: while you troubleshoot at your desk, sneak in 12 to 15 reps of dumbbell curls, or overhead presses. Not only will this give you a much needed break, you will feel refreshed and will have also worked out while brainstorming newer ways to boost profits at work.

5. Workout with kids: if your kids are worrying you, get a jogging stroller. This will help you keep watch on your little one while working out. Multi-tasking is the key. You can save on bucks for a baby sitter, spend more time with your toddler and work out all at the same time.

6. Couch workout: work in a few squats, push-ups, crunches, and jumps while you catch up on your favorite TV show. Clear up the area around the TV so you don't miss a moment while you're doing your push-ups or crunches on the floor.

7. Go out on a workout date: invite your friends, singles and couples, to a workout date. This will add fun to the workout while you will have time with friends. Exchange workout ideas and challenge each other to the best count.
