Keeping yourself active is one of the most important things you can be doing. Now this doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym and start working out. What is means is that have a life where you are generally active to a reasonable level that is healthy. There are a variety of different ways that you can do this and we’ll discuss some of them in this article.

One simple way you can this is by walking more. Yes this is obvious, but many people avoid making small journeys by foot. Let’s take going to the local shops or even someone’s house locally. People may choose to drive for a few minutes rather than walk for 10-15 minutes. This is just a small step, but it adds up to how active you are overall.

“I don’t have time.”

This is a very common excuse used around the world. We can make time to watch TV which can lead to an hour or more. However, going for a run even if it’s 10-20 minutes seems to be too much. This simply comes down to mindset and priorities in our lifestyle. You could even use these 10-20 minutes to workout at home which means you don’t need to go to the gym.

“I don’t have gym equipment at home.”

This is another excuse used by people to justify their reason for not being able to stay active. Many exercises such as push ups, squats, burpees, sit ups and more just require your body. The best thing about bodyweight workouts is that there are countless of variations and routines that you can do to make them effective. If you’re not sure on how to get started then just use the workouts on our website and social media pages to get started. This would be better use of the internet than catching up with the latest celebrity news and so on. If you really want to use equipment then simple buy some or go to the gym.

“Gym membership is too expensive.”

Another excuse that is used by people to avoid focusing on how active they are. Although some gym memberships maybe expensive, there are many gyms that are affordable and open 24/7. Rather than spending time not being productive get yourself to a gym and work out. Whether it’s for 30 minutes or an hour, this will benefit you more in the long run.

Moving away from working out, you can also think about daily changes you can make at work. If you’re work is office based then make time to get up, stretch and walk around. An example can be when you’re on a call with a headset. Rather than sitting down you can stand and walk around. When you’re up and about your body language will be more positive leading to a better outcome.

How you stay active should also be fun and one of the best ways to do that is by being involved in sports. This option has a variety of different choices including football, tennis, boxing and swimming. It doesn’t matter what sport you choose as long as you enjoy it and it increases how active you are.

Overall, there are many methods you can implement into your lifestyle to create a better balance of health and fitness. This article has only touched upon some of which you can start using from today onwards. Some of the most important things when you get started are being realistic with yourself and finding a way to stay dedicated.

Best of luck!
