We’ve all been there – life gets busy, and suddenly that carefully planned workout schedule is derailed. It happens to the best of us, but what matters most is how we respond. Missing a scheduled workout can create a ripple effect, causing a slip in motivation and potentially leading to a series of skipped sessions. In this blog post, we’ll explore the importance of staying committed to your fitness routine, even when time is scarce, and I’ll share two time-crunch workouts that you can easily incorporate into your routine.
The Motivation Domino Effect
The moment you miss a scheduled workout, it’s like opening a door to the possibility of more missed sessions. That hard-won motivation can quickly slip away, making it challenging to get back on track. To counteract this, I always emphasize the significance of sneaking in a quick workout rather than completely skipping planned sessions. Making exercise a priority, even if it’s just a 15-minute workout, helps to keep it a priority in your life.
