Â
Thinking of exercising daily feels like a ton of load on one’s shoulder.
Â
If I talk about myself, then at one point I became very obese, and while working full-time that too a field job. It was quite difficult to make time for a workout. But once I started working out, I got the hang of it and continued doing it and now it has become my second nature.
Â
For me exercising first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach is the key. That is the time when I am the most energetic.
Â
If I do not work out in the morning, I procrastinate even further till time, when I am too tired to even move a muscle.
Â
But this is only about my preference. Choose the best time to exercise as per your choice. Taking out 30 minutes daily for your wellbeing is not too much to ask for.
Is it?
Â
5. Squeeze exercise into your daily life…
