When You Don’t Have Time for the Gym

Exercise with Joy

I don’t know about you, but there are days my tight schedule cancels out my gym time and it does not matter that particular day whether it’s morning, noon, or night. Just too much to do! Although the gym is always a part of my planned daily routine, sometimes I have to make alternative plans for working out because of unforeseen situations.

Since educating and motivating people to adapt a healthier lifestyle is not only my business, but also my passion, I strive to be a good role model. It is important to exercise no matter what’s going on in your life. Physical activity helps reduce the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, anxiety, depression; the list goes on and on… As far as I know, I am healthy and will do whatever it takes to keep fit.

I use different techniques when I exercise at home and want to share some of them with you. If you try any of these for your at-home program, keep safety in mind and start slow.

  • Bicep curls (use canned goods or free weights)
  • Chair exercises
  • Floor work (leg lifts, stretching)
  • Jump rope
  • Push-ups
  • Standing Cross Punch
  • Standing Crunch (can use a broom handle for assistance)
  • Wall squats (use body ball for balance)
  • Walk/run up and down your stairs

As you can see, you don’t need gym equipment to exercise. Depending on what you want to accomplish, any of the above mentioned exercises could help you to stay motivated until you go back to the gym.
