7 best fitness tips for busy women
Ivory Howard
Here are my 7 best fitness tips for busy women who want to workout consistently and reclaim their health with ease.
1. Exercise everyday. Making time for physical activity helps you prioritize wellness, put your priorities first, and quiet the negatives influences in your life.
2. If you haven't found a workout you enjoy yet, walk everyday. It's a physical activity cheat code.
3. Focus on your practice before investing in props and accessories. It will take sometime before you know what you like and don’t like. Once you’ve been practicing for sometime, you’ll know what you need for your personal practice. When you’r ready, here's my list of recommended supplies for beginner and experienced students.
4. If you don't have time for an hour-long class, try doing child's pose, sun salutation A and sun salutation B, and corpse pose in the morning to start your day.
5. Rest is essential. Take your rest days seriously.
6. Think of one small thing you can do RIGHT NOW to reach your goal and do it. Don't wait. Just do that one small thing. Working out consistently is just a series of small things like picking out a workout outfit before bed so you don't have to decide in the morning or working out for 10 minutes because that's all you have time or energy for.
7. Try plant-based protein and spread it out throughout the day so that it's in every meal and snack. Here's a list of protein-rich sources:
Vegetables - broccoli, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts, greens
Fruits - guava, mulberries, blackberries, nectarines
Beans - lentils, chickpeas, edamame, soybeans, peas, legumes
Grains - quinoa, oats, wild rice, sprouted grains, corn
Seeds - pumpkin, chia, hemp
Nuts - peanuts, almonds
