We have all have busy days and have multiple things to tick off from our task lists. During such times, it is difficult to take some time out for our wellness, to exercise. It is the easiest thing to procrastinate and pass on the opportunity to work out. While it may not be the most wise thing to do, that is what most of us end up doing. With multiple research studies saying that exercising can help in boosting the productivity & dealing with stress, we all should focus on making bare minimum time for our own well-being.

Here are some ways you can make time for workouts & ensure you are active:

Early To Bed & Early To Rise

Waking up early has proven beneficial in improving overall health of individuals.  If you’re worried about not getting enough rest, you could start with going 30 minutes earlier to bed, which will inturn help you in waking up earlier. 

Workout

World Health Organisation recommends 75–150 minutes of high intensity activity in a week to follow a healthy lifestyle. Getting a quick 20-minute workout can also help you stay focused on your tasks for the rest of the day. You can choose to brisk walk, practice yoga or do a qucik HIIT session.
