“I Don’t Have Time To Train”
"I don't have time to train" - says the hard-working person with a ton on their plate.
This statement may 100% be true. But it doesn't have to be. We can change our definition of training.
The way the fitness and gym industry conventionally operates can lead to people assuming that they need to allocate a 60-minute block of time to exercise. But why?
Training and exercise are simply a means of self-improvement. There are plenty of ways you can improve yourself. You can read a book to learn something. You can meditate to calm your mind. You can create the habit of drinking more water. The list is endless.
Self-improvement does not need to have a minimum requirement.
Can't read for more than 5 minutes? Don't bother.
Can't meditate without distractions. Don't bother.
Can't drink a glass of water at every meal. Don't bother.
Can't exercise for a full 60 minutes. Don't bother.
That would all be bullshit.
Start wherever you are at.
Some truly have the craziest schedules.
Here is an idea I gave to a client who is struggling to fit training into their current day:
Set reminders for yourself at whatever time interval you want: 1 hour, 3 hours, whatever.
Move your body for whatever time period you have. That could be 1 minute, 5 minutes, whatever.
What you do really isn't that important. You could do some squats, some pushups, some stretches, or if you are feeling wild, some burpees.
What matters is that you are making the time for yourself. That is progress.
