Adding fitness and exercise into your daily routine is an ideal way to benefit your health.

Saving Time

  1. Step 1 Schedule your workouts.
    You will best adhere to a routine if you designate daily times for exercise. Without a specific timeframe, you may be more likely to stray from your daily fitness commitment. Once you’ve been scheduling them for a month or two, your workouts will feel like a natural part of your day, just like showering or eating breakfast.
    • You can split your workout into chunks if necessary (for instance, running before breakfast and Pilates after work).
    • Make a new color in your calendar for fitness, and officially mark off a block of time for it every day.
    • Choose a time that complements your daily schedule. For example, if you join a gym located near your place of work, you can exercise early in the morning before you go to work, or in the afternoons or evenings following your work shift.

Staying Motivated

  1. Step 2 Play fun music.
    Whatever makes you energized is ideal. Plenty of people are embarrassed by their workout music, but if a particular boy band pushes you to run a couple more miles, who cares? As long as it energizes you, play it!
    • If you feel self-conscious about your music, put on some headphones so that only you can hear it.
    • If you're stuck on finding the perfect jams, services like Spotify and IHeartRadio often curate workout playlists, so start with those.

    Cardio can be fun. Find stimulating ways to make your treadmill workouts more engaging. Create a playlist of your favorite workout songs, watch a show or fitness class while you're on the machine, or try a dance routine from YouTube. To mix things up, switch between cardio machines like the treadmill, bike, rowing machine, and elliptical. Remember, you don't have to stick to traditional cardio exercises. You can also try fun activities like salsa dancing or playing a sport you enjoyed as a child.
