Many are held back on their fitness journey because of a mental trap we all sometimes fall into:
“If I can’t get a full, big, hardy workout in, it’s not worth it.”
We keep telling ourselves: Tomorrow I’ll set aside an hour or two.
But sometimes an hour or two is too much to set aside. And so we keep pushing it back again and again.
But think back to our ancestors: They had motion in bursts throughout the day. Our bodies like motion throughout the day – not just all at once in a single session.
So one tip is do a workout over the course of a day.
Finished a task at work? 50 jumping jacks.
Bathroom break? Run in place for 20 steps before heading back.
Dinner time? 20 pushups before you eat.
If you work motion into your daily life, and get your heart rate up, you also keep your metabolism up throughout the day.
