Many of us are extremely busy with school, homework, extra curricular activities and maybe even a job. It can be really hard to manage all of your time and finding a good balance. Most people work or go to school all day and then go straight into other activities while leaving little time for themselves or free time.
I personally build time into my day to get various tasks done. If I have time a the end of a class that the teacher isn't teaching anymore, I use that time to read a book which helps shave off a few pages of my weekly reading for class. I use this strategy to help myself find time to work out. I'll share a few tips and tricks to help you find time to get in some exercise without having to specifically divide your time even further to work out.
In the morning when I wake up, I check social media and I know a lot of other people do too. During the time that you check your social media, try doing squats or lunges as you scroll through your news feed and as you double tap those pictures on Instagram. Little things like this will add up over time. Your legs will get stronger, you feel a little more awake and plus you just got yourself all caught up on this morning's social media. Everybody wins.
When you go to school and your class is on the other side of the hall, take the long way. Or drop your bag off in class and walk around in the halls to meet you friends. Extra trips like this will add up over time too! When you are walking into school in the morning with a 30 pound backpack, keep in mind that it counts for something, especially when you're parked far away in the parking lot.
At dinner when you're waiting for your food to cook in the oven, use that time to do an ab work out, or maybe put on some music and dance around in your kitchen (Yeah I seriously do this especially if I'm by myself...no shame)
There are several ways to get in a little bit more exercise in every day even if you aren't actually "working out". Little workouts through the day definitely add up over time and contribute to building yourself up stronger and better. (401)
