If you really want to be healthy/stay healthy, then being active in your everyday lifestyle is an absolute MUST!
The excuse I often hear is “I don’t have time to workout” because people have this idea that we are supposed to work out EVERY DAY for hours upon hours.
I’m here to tell you that’s not true and that you DO have time to workout despite your busy schedule. First off, it isn’t even healthy for someone to work out every day. That is actually the best way to get your body pissed off at you. Like you need your sleep to rest, you body needs rest as well–it’s that simple.
My recommendation is to try to work out at 2-3 times a week. Spread the days you workout though! Try working out on Tuesday (because Mondays are just bad in general), Friday (way before you go out) and on Sunday (that’s usually a free day). Of course, feel free to make your own schedule, I just did this because according to my friends, all of whom I’ve recommended this to (all of them are college students), and they say those are ideal days to workout.
On top of that, you don’t even need to workout for long–if you can do a 30-45 minute workout on all three days, that will be a good amount. Especially for people who are beginning to incorporate working out into their lives, this will be the right amount for you as well!
I cannot stress enough to you the importance of working-out. When you workout, endorphins (a fancy word for chemicals within your body) are released and basically make you happy—which means, if you workout, you’ll feel happy! Of course, you’re already going to feel good about yourself because you’re getting healthy.
So incorporate a 2-3 times a week, 30-45 minute workout and it’ll work wonders for your body! Make sure to spend every minute doing something that makes you sweat, if not, you’re not working your body out.
Until next time!
