Fitness & Your Crazy Schedule


Whether your still in college or just starting your career it can be challenging to eat healthy and to fit workouts in your schedule. Here our five of my favorite fitness tips!

 1. Drink lots of water! It sounds super cliché but it really does make you feel so much better and not to mention it helps your skin! I carry my reusable water bottle with me everywhere I go. That way drinking water throughout the day becomes more of habit then a chore.

2. Ditch the soda! As tempting as that soda machine is in your cafeteria, nothing good can come of it. (See suggestion #1)

3. Schedule your workouts! I use to just workout whenever I felt like it but then I started to make excuses, "I won't have time to do my hair", "I only have 30 minutes", "I want to sleep in", and the list goes on and on. So I decided to make a change and began blocking out time on my calendar for workouts. The result has minimized my long list of excuses and has increased the time I spend at the gym.
          
Bonus Tip! You only need 10 minutes for an insanely effective workout! Also you can work out anywhere with a floor (no equipment or gym needed)! Check out this free 10 minute workout and there are many more online.




4. Meal Plan! When I first heard of meal planning, I thought it was the strangest thing. How could I possibly know what I want to eat a week from now? That's crazy! Then I realized planning out my meals helps me to buy only exactly what I need (Cost Savings!). It also helps me make healthier choices because I have no excuse to order pizza or eat something else I would regret. Every Sunday I make my grocery list and plan out my meals for the week. Pick any day of the week and make it your meal planning and prep day! Always allow for some flexibility.

Bonus Tip! Here is a template to help get you started!


5. Find a workout buddy! Working out with a friend can make it a lot more enjoyable, plus you can keep each other accountable!
