Everyone is moving and grooving these days! How do you set aside time for your fitness while on the road?

In today's fast-paced world, finding time for fitness can be a challenge, especially for busy professionals. However, prioritizing your health and well-being is essential for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.  

1. Utilize the flexibility and full extent of the Corefirst App Only have 30 minutes? Jump into a Pilates Class Only have 5 minutes?

2. Prioritize Strength Training: Strength training is essential for building lean muscle, boosting metabolism, and improving overall functional fitness. The focus that resistance Pilates has on compound exercises is essential for those with little time to spare. A time-efficient and consistent routine of workout multiple muscle groups will maximize efficiency and outcome.  

3. Incorporate Active Commuting: If possible, consider incorporating active commuting into your daily routine. Instead of driving or taking public transportation, try walking or biking to work. This allows you to squeeze in physical activity while saving time on your commute. If distance or time constraints make it impossible to commute entirely on foot or bike, consider parking farther away from your workplace or getting off public transportation a few stops earlier to include some walking in your daily routine. Also, the Corefirst can easily be wrapped up and thrown in your work bag! Set it up at lunchtime and knock out a 15-minute class! While you may be thinking “Corefirst, you have lost your mind,” we actually have a lot of users that do this, PLUS physical exercise has a stress-reduction component and can boost creativity at work!    

4. Schedule and Prioritize Your Workouts: Treat your workouts as important appointments and schedule them in your calendar. By making exercise a non-negotiable part of your daily routine, you are more likely to follow through. Choose a time that works best for you, whether it's early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, and commit to that schedule. Consistency is key, so aim for a minimum of 3-4 workouts per week.    

Being a busy professional doesn't mean sacrificing your fitness goals. By implementing time-efficient workouts and incorporating physical activity into your daily routine, you can maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. With dedication and smart planning, you can achieve your fitness objectives and enjoy the numerous benefits of regular exercise, even amidst a hectic schedule.
