My best advice is organization. Plan your day the night before, pack you lunch, your gym bag, and even lay out your clothes for the day.

It helps so much when you’ve scheduled in your workouts to not have to think about anything in the morning: throw on the clothes you’ve laid out, grab your lunch out of the fridge and head to work. I am usually out of the house 15 minutes after I get out of bed (I shower at the pool).

You won’t have to decide whether or not to pack your swimming/running/gym bag because it’ll already be packed and ready to go! This means you won’t be able to say “I forgot my gear” when it comes time to leave work and head for your workout…it also gives me a great excuse to leave on time, because I often have something planned right after work!

Great ideas!
One of my favorite things to do is wake up (super early!) eat a little something and head out for an AMAZING work out! I have a shower bag packed so I can head straight from the gym to work. I feel energized and revitalized to face the day after I’ve broken a good sweat!

You’re SO right about scheduling it in Lauren. When I have the time booked off and allotted for fitness I always follow through. I’ll book an early morning yoga class in my Outlook calendar just like I would any other meeting and that way nothing can get in the way. It’s also a great way to track how many workouts / classes you’ve attended in a week / month / year!

I’ve been trying to figure out a time for my yoga practice at home, waking up before my one year-old is a great idea! The best part is I have to be asleep early (pooped from an active day) to keep up the routine. What a healthy habit to get cycled into.

breaking it down into 4 segments of people and the way to workout for each is great. as a parent and worker bee it was really cool to see this. funny, because you have a store near me in Carlsbad and I finally went into it the other day and it makes you want to work out. keep up the great work!

great advice for everyone. it’s a shame that people can’t make time for themselves, but are more than willing to bend over backwards to please others.
