Finding Time to Exercise For Weight Loss
 
Everyone knows that a sedentary lifestyle devoid of physical activity is hardly conducive to weight loss, but finding time to exercise for weight loss in between work, maintaining a home, and taking care of a family can be a daunting task at best. It may seem impossible to find time to work out when you are trying to find thirty to sixty minutes of uninterrupted time, but it is entirely possible to squeeze it into a busy lifestyle in bite sized portions. By making better use of the limited time you do have, you can make sure that none of your responsibilities are neglected, and you still have time to get the exercise you need.

Get Up Earlier

Sacrificing sleep for any reason may be difficult, but it is a small price to pay for improved health. Set your alarm twenty minutes to a half hour earlier, and use that time to get in some early morning cardio. Running on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike are perfect exercises for this, because they do not require a great deal of mental acuity and can be done almost entirely on automatic.

Make the Best of TV Time

No matter how busy the day is, most people find the time for at least a couple of hours of TV watching. Why not make better use of that time? You can use stationary exercise equipment such as a stationary bike or treadmill, or work out with dumbbells while you are watching your favorite shows.

Little Things

Take the stairs at every opportunity throughout your day. Climbing stairs is a great lower body workout, and if you work in a busy office building with multiple levels, you can get it a great workout over the course of the day.

Park as far away from your destination as possible, even several blocks away if you can. A short walk may not seem like much, but a number of little walks throughout the day will quickly add up.

Go for a walk during lunch. Even if it's only for five minutes, it's five minutes more than you would have had otherwise.

Hello to all

I would like to know, how do you maintain a healthy body if your work requires you to render service in the night shift? I hope you could reply back to me.

Thanks.

I used to work nights too and I was usually too exhausted to exercise after work. So what I do, I try to walk as often as I can when I'm at work. I also make sure I go to the gym on my day offs.

You can do simple things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or you can park your car a few blocks from your office and walk from there (be sure the area is safe though).

I agree with viktoria and kathy. You can still stay fit despite your work schedule. Night shifts are exhausting and exercising seems to be the last thing you want to do. But once you get started, you will realize its benefits.

replicajoy 05-26-2010 07:58 PM

Yeah, I do that too kathy and it really helps. I bring my own lunch too so I can be sure of the nutritional content. I try to avoid dining in at the cafeteria or the restaurants

I'm getting up an hour earlier these days. At first I said I'd never be able to do it: I was already sleep deprived rising at 6 AM how would I ever get up at 5 AM? I'd never be able to get to sleep earlier (this is still true), and a hundred other reasons why it wouldn't work. And then I tried it, and it does work. I'm still sleep deprived, but that extra hour in the morning is a Godsend. I love it.

Yeah, I work out at night shift. But it is quite challenging because I am so tired from work. What should I do to maintain my work out?
