Have you ever struggled to fit exercise into your busy schedule? Like most of the QUEENTEAM you’re probably super busy with work, a social life and maybe even kids too. I know that the idea of hitting the gym at the end of the day is not very appealing when all you want to do is crash and watch your favorite movie.

It’s actually a common misconception that you need to slog away for hours in order to see the benefits of exercise. In fact, just getting your heart rate up for 30 minutes 4-5 times a week can make all the difference. And whilst 30 minutes might still seem like a lot of time to find in your already busy schedule, keep in mind that you don’t always have to be breaking a sweat, you could be going for a brisk walk or cycle. 

So if you’ve ever struggled to fit it all in, take a look at these 7 easy ways you can get 30 minutes of exercise into your daily routine.

1. Take back your lunch break

No more eating at your desk. Grab your workout kit and take the opportunity to go outside for a fast paced walk or even a short circuit in the park. Getting your heart rate up at lunch will help you have a productive afternoon back at your desk.

2. Make it social

Research shows that habits spread through our social networks and it’s no different for working out. Have you tried exercising with a friend or family member? Having a friend to exercise with means you’re more likely to show up AND stick to your habit. 

If you’re a member of my program make sure you make use of the QUEENTEAM Facebook group to motivate and support you. They’re such an incredible group of women!

3. Workout at home

You really don’t need much space or equipment for a great home workout. If you haven’t already, try my online program. Every week I challenge you with 5 totally new cardio and strength workouts that you can do at home with minimal equipment. 

4. Just complete one circuit

One of the great things about my programme is that the workouts can be dialled up and down depending on how much time you have. So if you’re struggling to fit it all in on a certain day you can just stick to one 30 minute circuit rather than two. If you haven’t already make sure you check out my post on the 4 strategies to help keep you going when you feel like giving up.

5. Schedule your workouts 

I find that one of the best ways to make time for exercise is to schedule my workouts in my calendar and treat them like doctor’s appointments.

Instead of making exercise something you’ll get to if you have time make it something you actively set time aside for. Doing it this way means that you’re protecting that time as time for you and your workout.
