I was super busy this past week with work, and writing some extra blog articles for various people. I made it a point to get in exercise even though I would be working a little more. After all, exercise helps me to unwind and get rid of stress.
One thing I found very helpful was to pack one essential gym bag that contains everything I would need for the day: workout gear, work clothes, things to shower with, lunch, snacks, and the usual purse.
Then, the hard part is just to get up and go workout in the morning. I realized I save SO MUCH TIME by doing this. And, I have much more energy during the day. And the best part is that I only have to get up 45 minutes earlier than I normally would.
Inside the big bag, I have a smaller bag for shoes, bag for clothes, and one for accessories, etc. I had something similar to these packing cubes that I used for my clothes. They are breathable so you won’t have your sweaty gym clothes staying gross all day.
If you can’t make it to the gym in the morning, you can always do a workout at home. Bodyrock TV has a bunch of free at-home exercise videos that don’t take much time to do.
And then you’ll need an excellent playlist!
