It’s not always easy to fit exercise into your schedule, especially if you prefer longer sessions. On the other hand, some people are so busy that they feel exercise isn’t compatible with their lifestyle whatsoever. Is it still possible to make time for exercise, even when things get crazy?

5 Simple Ways to Fit More Exercise Into Your Life

Exercise, like eating and sleeping, is essential if you want to live a happy, healthy life. That’s why it’s crucial to fit movement into your schedule regardless of how busy you are.

1. Seek Advice From Online Communities

One of the biggest barriers to exercise is not knowing how to optimize your workouts. Although most workout moves will gradually build strength, some exercises are better than others. For example, traditional push-ups work your triceps, pectorals, shoulders, lower back, and core.

Since you probably don’t have the time to research the best workout moves, try joining an online fitness community. Physeek, an online fitness community in India, allows its members to ask questions about their exercise needs. Plus, they can motivate you to reach your fitness goals.

2. Use Workout Equipment Around the House

If you work from home, you can probably wear ankle or wrist weights while you walk, sit on a yoga ball while you type, and walk on the treadmill while answering emails. You can also install a sitting bike under your chair, so you can at least get some cardio in while you’re sitting down.

If you don’t work from home, ask if you can bring these items to the office with you. If you can’t, use your yoga ball, treadmill, or weights when you’re enjoying another hobby, like watching TV. Or, you could schedule a video call session with a personal trainer instead of watching TV.

3. Schedule Non-Negotiable Workout Time

Look at your calendar and see if you can move things around. Then, schedule non-negotiable workout sessions throughout the week. Treat this time as you would an appointment or a meeting with your boss or coworkers. Otherwise, you may consider exercise as optional.

Track your progress you can even use a MET calculator to track how much calories you need to burn on your specific activity.

It will be difficult to commit to your workout appointment without a plan. Make sure you have a full-body exercise routine ready to go so you aren’t wasting your free time getting ready.

4. Try Running Instead of Driving or Walking

Unless your daily commute takes you on the highway, you can probably run to work. It’ll take some time for you to build up the leg strength to make it to work on time, but the benefits are well worth the struggle. If you have a gym next to your work, use it to shower and get changed.

If the thought of running to work terrifies you, find time elsewhere. If you have children, you can play sports with them or go for a brief jog when they’re in a class. If you typically run errands using your car, keep it at home and use your legs. Use a bike for bigger grocery trips.

5. Wake Up Early and Pack Your Gym Clothes

Pre-packing your gym clothes can save you a lot of time and cut back on excuses. If you already have your gym bag in your car or you change into your sweats after you wake up, you can’t say that you “forgot” your equipment. Plus, you save time before and after the gym.

If possible, try to wake up early and pre-pack a week’s worth of clothes. You can leave your clothes at the gym or office, whatever is more convenient. Wash them at the end of the week.

Personal Injury Healing Tips and Strategies

January 28, 2023
The ACA has put patients at the center of healthcare services. A patient-centric healthcare approach in this digital era means a revised definition of quality in the physician-patient relationship. When it comes to healthcare services, patients shell out a hefty amount from their pocket and want nothing less than the best. The services in healthcare are no longer limited to just cost as consumers now evaluate quality and experience in the same equation. Research highlights from the 2015 Healthcare Consumer Trends by National Research Corporation states that reputation in healthcare matters more to consumers when choosing a brand than any other industry, e.g. hospitality, retail, airline, etc. The new generation of quality measurements in healthcare require a different mind-set and a different 'toolbox' to handle the hurdles. It’s the need of the hour for healthcare providers and others across the healthcare value chain to adopt the patient-centric approach for surviving in the vast competitive ocean of healthcare services. Patient-centric care is an approach that develops through effective communication, empathy and a positive physician-patient relationship. The primary purpose is to improve patient care outcomes and satisfaction and to reduce patient symptoms and unnecessary costs. It’s a win-win situation for both physicians and patients. While healthcare providers are able to support their patients in becoming more compliant with treatment and management of their conditions/diseases, patients feel more satisfied with the care that they are receiving. PwC’s Health Research Institute’s annual report 2016 states that health systems should keep an eye on the consumer experience as they expand and extend. More partnerships and more caregivers could mean confusion for patients and poor customer experiences. To differentiate their practice among competitors, patient satisfaction can be used as a competitive distinguishing factor. Although patient satisfaction cannot really provide tangible benefits, but an experience that exceeds patient expectations for what a practice/hospital can provide is very important as it creates loyal patients who return for future health needs and refer their family and friends. Happy and satisfied patients are a secret marketing weapon for healthcare providers, whether they are physicians, dentists, physiotherapists or hospitals. Your patients are the new-age digital health decision-makers. In this era of Internet and social media, they now have multichannel access to information related to health. Needless to mention, they have gained new power to make their decisions; whether it’s choosing a healthcare provider or referring a physician to family and friends. By converting your satisfied patients to be your brand advocates, you can capitalize and use their voice as an effective marketing strategy to reach out to many other potential patients. To strive and thrive, in the U.S. many healthcare organizations are applying patient-centric approaches to healthcare. It’s all about what matters to patients, so it makes a lot of sense for the healthcare industry to place patients' healthcare experience at the center of their policies and procedures. The best deliverables are a combination of great communication for a positive physician-patient relationship, disciplined measurement and analysis of patient feedback and commitment to technology innovation – the formula for improving patient engagement and care.
