Time is the # 1 barrier to creating and sticking to healthy habits
Time can be seen as a roadblock against many healthy behaviours, including exercise, proper food intake and stress management (an important factor in health)
Balancing work, family, social life, healthy eating and exercise can be a challenge for most people
While I can tell you to prioritize xyz
It is more helpful to assess exactly how your time is spent and determine the amount of time you can realistically commit to when setting attainable goals and managing your expectations for results
When someone is new to exercise finding time to participate in a regular basis is a tough challenge, especially if that means limiting it elsewhere.
One way to overcome the perceived barrier of a lack of time is to address your approach to time management
Some ways to reclaim time for a new activity can include rearranging your schedule so that exercise becomes more of a priority, like committing to exercise as the first activity in the morning when there are no distractions
๐๐ปIdentify areas of your life where there is no room for adjustment and then design a plan/program that maximizes your real ability to commit
Training Tipโจ
Whenever you are unsure of your specific barriers, keep a log of how your time is spent over a week.
This will help identify your average sleep patterns, time dedicated to working, childcare, meal preparation, exercise, watching tv, reading, scrolling social media, etc.
By seeing a snapshot of your week laid out in front of you, it becomes easier to identify areas of improvement for time management so that priorities like exercise are always fit into the schedule.
