We’ve used the lack of time as an excuse for not exercising at some point in our lives. Life’s daily activities don’t often leave room for much else. However, I know that somewhere in our day, many of us can spare at least 30 minutes for physical fitness. Below are some tips to get in a good work out when you are in a time crunch:

• Use intervals - You knew I was going to say that right? Well, it’s true. You can get a whole lot done in 30 minutes utilizing interval workouts. You don’t even need to be at a gym to do them so that saves you the time of driving there.
• Make an appointment with yourself - Just like any other important appointment, make sure you keep your appointment to exercise. Schedule it just like anything else and be sure to follow through. After awhile it will become a good habit like flossing your teeth.
• Perform compound exercises - These save time because instead of focusing on one muscle, you can work out multiple muscles at once. For example, doing a push-up works your deltoids, triceps, chest, and lower back.
• Make the most of your time - If you only have 30 minutes then make it count. Don’t waste time on one cardio machine when you can get in a full-body workout with intervals.

You can stay in shape with a little effort. Interval workouts help to eliminate the excuse of “lack of time.” In fact, intervals may even prevent over training. Make time for physical fitness, your body needs it!
