E + E Podcast Episode 111: 4 Things That Help Me Manage My Time (so I can get my workouts in!)
Listen to Episode 111
ABOUT THE EPISODE
How do you become a person who works out? How do you stay consistent with your workouts? And how do you actually make the time to work out? You’ve asked, so Amy is going in depth into how she actually makes the time to get in her 3 strength training workouts a week!
We love bringing you real, tangible tools to help you feel empowered and today is no different! Amy introduces her technique of “time chunking” - planning her day into chunks, dedicating specific time for things like housework, intentional time with her kiddos, and her workouts. She shares how time chunking looked during her busiest season of life while in nursing school, with young babies, and now as a school-aged mama. Some seasons you may drop your workouts to prioritize other necessary things - that’s okay too, don’t be hard on yourself. Work through that season and then jump back into your workouts! Like we always say, even 10 or 15 min of a workout matters! Habit stacking is another great way to keep yourself motivated to check your workout off your to do list. Amy loves watching her favorite reality tv show while she works out, but for you it could be habit stacking with some outdoor time, your favorite podcast, or a juicy audiobook. Lastly, Amy emphasizes how following a workout plan takes out the guesswork. Going into your workout time chunk, knowing you can log in to the Expecting and Empowered workout app and quickly clicking on the day’s workout makes it easy to show up and get started right away without having to think about what your workout will include.
