How To Fit Exercise Into a Busy Schedule

In the whirlwind of daily life, squeezing in a workout can feel impossible—between work, family, and social commitments, how do you find the time? But here’s the thing: movement isn’t just about staying fit; it’s about feeling good, energized, and strong. The good news? You don’t need hours at the gym to make it happen. With the right mindset and a little creativity, you can weave exercise into your routine—even on the busiest days.

Time Management Strategies for Staying Consistent

Life gets busy, but your well-being is non-negotiable. Here’s how to make movement a seamless part of your schedule:

  • Make It a Priority: Exercise isn’t a luxury—it’s self-care. Treat it like any other important appointment and commit to it.
  • Time Block Your Workouts: Schedule your workouts just like meetings. Adding them to your calendar makes them more likely to happen. The Studio + has guided programs and weekly workout suggestions, so you always know what to do. And you can add workouts into your calendars easily, this way you’ll never miss a session !
  • Set Realistic Goals: If an hour feels impossible, start with 10 minutes! A quick, effective session is always better than nothing. Stack shorter workouts if you have extra time—my 10- to 20-minute targeted classes are perfect for this.
