We understand that it can be challenging to exercise consistently when you have a busy schedule. Whether you have a full workweek, a family to support, or perhaps both, it can sometimes seem impossible to find time for yourself and your health. Yet, it's important to find ways to keep moving. In this blog post, Rémon Koetje, Lifestyle Coach and Trainer at Happy Bodies, shares tips and strategies for exercising effectively, even when you're incredibly busy.
Just as you schedule appointments and meetings in your calendar, you should also schedule your workouts. Choose fixed times each week to exercise and stick to them. This helps you establish a routine and prevents you from skipping workouts. By treating exercise as a regular appointment, it becomes a priority instead of something you do when you happen to have time. This way, exercising becomes a habit.
You can also work very efficiently by combining exercise with other activities. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, cycle to work more often, or exercise while watching your favorite TV show. By incorporating exercise into your daily routine, you can stay more active without taking up much extra time. Small changes can have a big impact on your overall health.
There are numerous apps and gadgets that can help you exercise efficiently. Fitness apps can guide you through short workouts and track your progress. Wearables like smartwatches can measure your activity and motivate you to reach your goals. These tools make it easier to monitor and improve your efforts, even if you can only spare a few minutes a day. At Happy Bodies, all exercisers have access to the Milon Me app, a personal app that tracks all your training data, including your muscle age.
At Happy Bodies, we understand the value of your time. That's why we've developed a unique training program where you train for just two 35-minute sessions every ten days, guided by your own personal lifestyle coach. These short, yet intense workouts fit perfectly into a busy schedule and ensure you stay fit and healthy. Even actor and director Porgy Franssen and pilot Willem van Meel have successfully managed to exercise consistently this way. Our coaches help everyone get the most out of the sessions, so you can achieve your goals without spending hours in the gym.
The Happy Bodies concept offers more than just time savings. Our workouts are designed to efficiently train your entire body, focusing on both strength and fitness. Personal guidance ensures you perform each exercise correctly, reducing the risk of injury and optimizing your progress. Moreover, the friendly atmosphere in our clubs creates a motivating environment where you feel at home and supported.
Don't give up on exercise too soon. Research shows that it takes at least 21 days to form a new habit. By scheduling your workouts and using tools that motivate you, you can accelerate this process. At Happy Bodies, we offer a loving and motivating support system. We always encourage our members to schedule new appointments immediately. This helps our members stay active.
