Start your day with exercise 

When you leave exercise at the bottom of your priorities list, it’s natural for you to struggle to fit it into your day. That’s why it’s a good idea to start your day with exercise, instead of leaving exercise until the end of the day. That way, you get up, do your exercise – whatever that may be – and then you can start your day. By doing it this way, it makes life easier as you’re unlikely to have anything getting in the way as your day’s list of tasks won’t have built up yet. If you’re short of time in the mornings, aim to get up slightly earlier to allow you to fit some exercise in – whether it’s going for a run or practicing yoga, it doesn’t matter – you will feel better for it. 

Workout at home 

Another reason that a lot of people struggle to fit enough exercise into their week is because they have to go somewhere to workout, such as heading to the local gym. However, you can workout at home, it’s just a case of finding a way to workout that you enjoy, that’s all. One option is to utilise fitness apps like Fit, for instance, which has a wide range of different workouts that vary in length and difficulty. Or, if you’re someone who loves going to the gym – and has the money and space – you could opt to look into home gym design and create your own personal gym. 

Make some lifestyle swaps 

If you want to make sure that exercise becomes more of a priority, then you might want to think about making a few simple lifestyle swaps, such as driving less and walking or cycling more. This might only be a small change but every change that allows you to be more active will help to aid your health and wellness, and so is worthwhile.
