With the exception of
professional athletes, most of us do not spend the bulk of our time
exercising. We have to do things like
work and sleep and drive and read to the kids or ourselves and cook dinner and
call our moms. It is useful to remember
this and plan accordingly.
One implication of our
limited exercise time is that we need to be efficient. This is where circuit training, interval
work, and schedule balance help. We want
the most metabolic bang for our minute/buck (time is money, right?).
Another is that we need
to think about how the other stuff we do interacts with our fitness plans. Figuring out how to get enough sleep can make
all the difference to what happens at our workouts. Ditto for proper nutrition. Sorting out a method for sneaking stretching into
the odd moments of the day or somehow squeezing out time for a massage or at
least some rolling can get stuck stuff moving better when we can
lift/run/dance/bike/swim.
We are creative and we
can harness that ability to improve what we do and how we feel while doing it!
