5 Ways to Work Your Workout into Your Day 

This time of the year can be busy! Navigating work, back to school and sports, it can be easy to skip your workout when time is limited. We’ve come up with some tips to help you schedule your workouts to fit in with your new routine:  

Wake Up Early 

Exercising first thing in the morning is a great way to start a busy day. However, we know that not everyone loves to work out in the wee hours of the morning, so if that’s not your thing, wake up early to get a head start on your day! It can give you extra time to plan your day y get things done that could get in the way of your scheduled ejercicio. 

Plan Your Workouts in Advance 

Treat your workouts like they are a work meeting or plans with a friend. This is your time to take care of yourself, so don’t cancel! Make this time a priority and schedule it in advance by putting it on your work or family calendar. VASA’s app can help as well!

• Park in the last row of the parking lot to get some extra steps in. 
• Take the stairs rather than the elevator or escalator.  
• Stand, or better yet, walk around instead of sitting while on the phone. 

• Walk around the block between your classes or meetings at work. 

Make Yourself Accountable  

If getting to the gym is getting harder, and you feel your motivation slipping, plan to go with a friend! When you have plans to workout with your friends, you are less likely to cancel. You will hold yourself and your friends accountable!

 Let Technology Keep You on Schedule  

We have all this technology to help us organize our lives, let’s use it! Here are some ways you can stay on task and on schedule so you’re not worried about being late to the next thing on your agenda:  

• If you are worried about other engagements, go into your workout with a set amount of time and push yourself to get the most out of that time while you are there. You can set a timing on your phone or watch so you’re not constantly watching the clock and you can focus 100% on yourself. 

• Set a reminder on your calendar, phone or watch for your scheduled workouts. Set it to remind yourself when you need to leave or start getting ready to go. 
• Use a fitness tracker to keep yourself motivated. There are TONS of activity tracking devices and apps out there. Use one to help you set a goal and stick to it!
