Managing your fitness & the rest of your life,

Hi guys,

First of all I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in such a long time.

I have to confess I have been very busy, and been neglecting my fitness.

I am just getting back on track and I want to advise you all how you can manage your work, social life, family, your dog, your fitness and your diet. I have recently started a Monday to Friday placement and I have been finding it terribly hard to find time to go running, get my conditioning done or prepare meals. 

Plan

Plan what your eating for your dinner and evening meal each night so you have all the ingredients in.

Prepare

Prepare your lunch the night before you go to bed, and even chop up your fruit salad for breakfast if your feeling really organised.

Schedule 

Make time for your exercise, whether you need to get up an hour earlier so you can spend the evening with your friends, or you go running at 9pm at night. Make sure you know what your doing well in advance and plan around it.

Top tips: 

1) Always carry water with you at work, or out and about stay well hydrated especially on the days you know your doing exercise.

2) Always carry healthy snacks with you in case your running late, or feel you need to eat an hour before you finish work so your ready to work out as soon as you get home.

3) Always get a good nights sleep, a full 8 hours if possible!

It's hard to manage a busy life style, I often incorporate my workouts with getting the dog out for a run. Or if I'm watching my favourite TV show, I do my conditioning at the same time. I definitely got out of my routine a couple of months ago, life just happened. But I can 100% promise you I feel a million times better now I'm making the time for my exercise and diet. Eventually it becomes your way of life and a force of habit, it feels natural and great! 

A healthy body is a healthy mind.
