Taking the time to sit down and create concrete daily workout schedules is an important first step toward building the body you want.
Fitting in your strength training routines and cardiovascular workouts takes careful planning. You'll save tons of time and get your workouts in when you plan your exercise throughout the week.
Create Your Daily Workout Schedule
I'll walk you through this step by step. You'll be amazed at the pockets of time you'll find for fitting your workouts in!
- Pick a planning day that works for you and grab a calendar so you can get a look at the week ahead. No more guessing...let's write it down!
- What works best for you? A calendar? Spreadsheet? Cell phone? PDA?
- Choose what you are most likely to look at every day.
- Write down all of your obligations for the week, i.e work, family, school, etc. Fill in everything you can think of. Do you have an appointment with the dentist? Your hairstylist? A project to complete? Write it all down!
- Look at the pockets of time between events. How much time is there?
- 10 minutes?
- 20 minutes?
- 30 minutes?
- an hour or more?
- This is where you'll schedule your daily workout routines!!!
- Don't worry about the time of day you have to work out. Just fit it in where you have the time. The type of workout will be determined by how much time you have! It's as simple as that.
