Accessible Exercise

It’s not always easy to devote two hours out of your day to exercise at the gym. In fact, for some people, it’s absolutely impossible due to schedule restrictions of even the lack of access to a gym. Exercise remains an essential part of staying fit and healthy in the long term, but for many, the concept of exercising equates to those hour-long sessions in rooms full of weights and machines. It need not be the case. Here are three ways to make exercise more accessible when a long session at the gym may not be an option.

Exercise at home. There’s a number of basic bodyweight exercises that coupled with cardiovascular activity like running and cycling can deliver a full body workout. For those looking for a bit more, fitness products like elastics are often an inexpensive means of adding more variety to home-based workouts.

Keep it short and simple. Time is a big barrier to exercise for many people, but a workout doesn’t need to belong in order to be effective. Shorter sessions can be worked in throughout the day, and when it comes down to it, anything is better than nothing.

Plan, schedule, and prioritize. Ultimately, be it at home or at the gym, if a workout isn’t planned, scheduled, and prioritized, it’s a whole lot easier to skip. Fitness is about lifestyle changes with short terms goals along the way, and the right approach to exercise is the first step in ensuring success.
