Are you stuck for time to exercise?

Well, 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’s important to utilise them.

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

RUN OR CYCLE TO AND FROM WORK?

Depending on the distance between your accommodation and workplace, you could try running or cycling 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.

USE YOUR WINDOWS OF TIME EFFECTIVELY

It’s nice to have some downtime after a working day but its pointless going straight home and sitting on a laptop for the rest of the evening, flicking through apps on your phone or watching five episodes of a TV series.

If you have free windows of time then go for a walk, a light jog or even a 45-minute 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’re off but if you can try and get up at a similar time on a Friday or Saturday as you do from Sunday-Thursday then you’ll have no excuse about not having the time to exercise.

With less time pressure at weekends, why not try some of the great running routes around Abu Dhabi or Dubai? It’s always satisfying testing out a different location rather than the same place that you might train during the week.

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