In the stress of everyday life, it is not easy for working women in particular to combine leisure and work. The pressure to succeed is predefined in our society, and the time for hobbies, relaxation or even sports is reduced accordingly. Tired and exhausted, one comes home and for the aerobics class in the nearby gym, all desire is gone. But what exactly is the reason that some women are able to plan and manage their everyday life and also their visit to the gym with ease despite a heavy workload? In the following, we would like to give you individual tips on how you can easily complete your workouts within a week, even if you are quite busy with family and job.
The important thing is the goal!
If you want to plan your week with fitness activities, then it also depends on what goal you want to achieve. Do you want to lose weight and shed some kilos or do you just want to keep your body fit and be active in sports on a regular basis? These goals also determine the actual amount of time that is required for you to achieve sustained success with your sports activities. Diet expert Michelle Bridges from Australia recommends exercising for around 50 to 60 minutes, six days a week, so that you can lose weight in the long term. If you are a working woman who just wants to exercise her body regularly, then according to sports experts, at least 150 minutes a week should be enough to effectively do something for your metabolism and your health. Of course, this information is general and cannot be used individually for every woman. What is important, however, is a fixed time limit that you should adhere to during the week so that your workout in the gym can also bring lasting visual success.
Plan the week ahead!
As a businesswoman, you need to plan your schedule and business activities carefully so that you can achieve success in your business. That's exactly how you should approach your fitness week. Without a healthy body you can't keep up in your professional life. Start planning your upcoming fitness week this weekend. Write down workout times in your schedule and think carefully about the workouts and exercises you want to do in the coming week. Take your fitness life as seriously as your job, and you'll have lasting success in both areas. It's best to enter your appointments into your smartphone so that you'll also receive regular reminders.
Make it social!
We live in a time when social networks play a significant role in our personal lives. Facebook and Twitter often determine when and with whom we meet and who our friends are. This type of social communication has many advantages, as we can and also orient ourselves to the success of our friends. We experience new opportunities in a flash, which we can apply and test professionally or even in sports. Integrate your social network into your planned fitness activities as well. Go to the gym with friends or share your experiences with your new workouts on Facebook. You'll notice very quickly that as you engage your social circle, you'll also develop more desire and passion for your fitness classes, which means you'll enjoy your exercise more. Despite the stress of your daily work!
Set realistic goals!
Business people are ambitious and always want to get the best out of themselves. This often applies to sports as well. Here, however, too much ambition tends to act as a brake, because you have to learn to adapt your sporting activities to the current performance level of your body. Often beginners or newcomers start with a too hard training, which causes injuries and stress in the course of time. It is important to find the right balance of body and exercise. Overtraining often causes a disinclination for the upcoming workout. Try to train in a relaxed manner and complete your workouts without too much stress. You are not a professional athlete who has to make a living from his sport. You live from your profession and do fitness and sports only as a balance and for your health.
Even a short workout counts!
Gone are the days of spending two to three hours in the gym. Today, we know that short but intense workouts are just as beneficial as 45 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. The important thing is always that you're doing something. It doesn't matter if you work out for ten minutes or thirty minutes. The more intensively you train your workout in the ten minutes, the greater your success will be in the end. And that's what matters.
