It’s basic science that if you burn off more than you consume, you will lose weight. That’s the ground-floor principle of weight loss. No fads, no tablets, no shakes and soups; just hard work and eating right. However, getting healthy takes more than just adjusting your food intake. It helps, sure, but what really matters is how you exercise. Working out and getting that heart rate up is key in ensuring you keep your body healthy and working the way you want it to. It’s important to look after your body as it will then look after you in return, but finding the time to work out? That’s the hard part!

Life gets busy and once you fit sleep, eating, hygiene and your job into the hours you have in the day, working out always seems to come bottom of the agenda. It’s easy to let it go, we get tired, it’s just the way it is. However, there are ways you can fit a work out into your life without having to lose sleep or choose it over time with people you love. Check out our workout list below to see how you could get yourself lean in no time, just by making some slight changes to your routine.

  • Get people involved. If you are worried about not having enough time with your other half or the kids, choose workouts you can all do together. Go swimming two or three times a week while the kids do swimming lessons. Have time set aside for rock climbing classes and have fun with the work out that you do. It’s easy to fit in family time if you combine it with your fitness regime.
  • Change up your commute. If you’re sick and tired of sitting on buses in traffic or catching two or three trains to get to your destination, then change how you do things. That doesn’t mean sitting in a car in a different vehicle for traffic, but what about cycling? Not only are you burning calories for an extended period twice a day, you’re saving yourself money on fares and petrol, which can go toward upgrading the bike you have. Click here to take a look at some of the best options to make your cycling journey to work a lot easier.
  • Lace up those running shoes. As with cycling, changing how you get to work can make a difference to your fitness. If you’re close enough to be able to run, download running apps like these to make your run to work that bit more exciting. Running isn’t the most fun workout out there, but if your work building has showers in the bathrooms like most do now, you’re set up for a working day without the sweat factor afterwards.
