How To Workout When Busy and On A Budget

YOUTUBE. There are many effective and efficient free workouts on YouTube. I used to think that I couldn’t get a good enough workout at home. I was so wrong.

This is not to say that I am opposed to gyms. Gyms are fantastic. It truly is about finding what works for you. For me, the gym started to get stagnant and I wasn’t a fan of the time it took to commute to the gym. While looking for other options, I ended up falling in love with the Popsugar Fitness channel and here’s why:

Variety.

Popsugar Fitness offers a vast array of workouts. From pilates to HIIT, there’s something there for every preference. We can easily switch our routine or do more of the workouts we already enjoy. In reality, the reptitive workouts can get boring. In addition, our bodies are not as challenged once that starts to happen. Thanks to the Popsugar Fitness Youtube channel, we’ll never be bored working out again.

Time Saver.

It is nice to roll out of bed, get dressed and head to the living room for a workout. Rather than a 10-20 minute commute to the gym each way. We can sleep in a bit longer, have more time to cook a hearty breakfast, or whatever you enjoy to do before the workday sets in.

Flexibility.

A workout can be snuck in whenever it fits in our schedules. This could be before work, at lunch, when bored on a Saturday afternoon, on vacation, the list goes on!  

Rewarding.

There is an undeniable sense of accomplishment when the workout is complete. It is beneficial to challenge ourselves and hold ourselves accountable. It’s easy to not give a workout our best when the instructor is not in the room (I’m guilty of this at times). But when we still give it our all and have a successful workout, we can thank ourselves. This accomplishment is something to be proud of and accountability is a skill we can bring into other areas of our lives.
