The half term week confuses a lot of people when it comes to exercising.
Routines are all over the place, kids are off school, Halloween has thrown a lot of people off their normal good choices, and exercise has usually ended up in last place for many this week.
So if your overall goal is progress and you regularly take part in our measurements, then this week will have been a write off for some of you with children.
One of the key answers would be to shorten your planned workouts, select key exercises that will get the job done in double quick time, and maybe shorten the frequency too, after all doing a little bit is far better than not doing anything!
So for example, if you typically train Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, for an hour each time, then if you really have no time, then just commit to three workouts for 20 mins a time, surely you can do that?
Those 20 minutes HAVE to count though! To make the most of your time, warm up before and after the 20 minutes.
For example, today I just did a 20 minute blast of using the prowler, batting ropes, boxing and swiss ball core work.
There is a nice variety in this work, making different demands on your body in double quick time!
Picking 4 exercises in a row can work very well for you if it TAKES INTO ACCOUNT your current physical condition.
You do not need to overwork, all you need a higher intensity workout than normal to SUIT YOU and nobody else!
Please consult a fitness professional before doing high intensity workouts.
So shorter high quality workouts can solve the problem of having no time to exercise.
Just make sure you are handled with care and WORK TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL LEVEL!
