We all live busy lifestyles in the UAE and it can be difficult to juggle so many different things at once.

However, incorporating exercise into your daily routine should be paramount.

If you are one of these people making constant excuses about not being able to exercise then you need to get more organised and make better decisions each day.

Windows of time do exist for you to go for a walk or run so it is important to utilise them.

Here are our three tips to help to improve your health and fitness on a daily basis:

RUN TO OR FROM WORK?

Depending on the distance between your accommodation and workplace, you could try running to work.

It’s an efficient way to fit in your training and will have you feeling energetic and productive for the rest of the morning.

If there is a lack of showering facilities at your workplace, then you could run home instead.

This will help clear your head after a long day in the office and beats sitting in a taxi during rush hour traffic in the evening.

If you simply don’t enjoy running, try going to the gym in the morning before work instead.

USE YOUR WINDOWS OF TIME EFFECTIVELY

We all need our downtime, however, it is pointless for a person to complain about not having time to exercise, to then go home and watch five episodes of a TV series or sit flicking through boring apps on their phones for the evening.

If you have free windows of time then go for a walk, a light jog or even a quick gym session.

Most of our apartment complexes have small gyms so go down and work hard for a short period of time and you’ll be feeling sharper after.

FOLLOW SAME ROUTINE AT WEEKENDS

It’s nice having a lie-in when you are off but you should try and get up at a similar time on a Friday or Saturday as you do from Sunday-Thursday. If you do this, you will have no excuse about a lack of time to exercise.

With less time pressure at weekends, why not try some of the great running routes around Dubai? It is always satisfying testing out a different location.

Be selective with your decision making and always put your health at the forefront of your plans.
