In keeping with the theme of my last post, I am faced today with a time crunch. Too much to do, too little time to do it.
Now, I do always take time out from work to get up from my computer and walk around for a bit, usually reading a book with the Kindle app on my phone as I walk around the place. I also, whenever I make or receive a phone call, walk around as I’m talking. This keeps the blood circulating.
Of course, I like to get a workout in, as well.
Sometimes that just doesn’t happen. Maybe there are too many fires to put out. Maybe there is a firm deadline that I have to meet. Maybe I just don’t feel very strong that day.
I ran into this problem last Friday. It was a combination of things, but I just didn’t have the time I needed to do the workout I wanted, so, you know what? I did Tony Horton’s One-On-One “Patience – Hummingbird Yoga”. It’s only a half-hour or so, and, wow is it a great workout. Not a lot of movement, but definitely some strength-building and sweat creation.
Have less time than that? How about an abs workout. Make it intense, like Ab Ripper X from Tony Horton’s P90X, but still only take 15 to 20 minutes. If you work it hard enough, you feel as if you did a full workout, and your core can always use it.
Really short on time? Do something. There’s always time to do something, and doing something is always better than doing nothing. Your mind and body will love you for it.
