I'm always asked the questions as a Physiotherapist:
When is the best time to work out?
Do I need to work out in the morning?
Do I need to work out after work?
Should I exercise outside the gym?
Truth is, it depends on the person, really. But here are three reasons why it's a great option to fit in a 25 minute bodyweight workout that can be done anywhere.
- Time It can be difficult to find the time to work out, but if you can find only 25 minutes in your day, you'll be in great shape!
- Life can get in the way and daily life is easy to prioritize over working out. I'm here to encourage you to work out your workout time, just 25 minutes is all that takes. Staying active far outweighs the cost of failing to make healthy happen.
- Location This one is important, I can write a whole blog post on why I think it's important to go to the gym, but the bottom line is this: what's important is working out – not where you do it.
Select 25 minutes, and get the most out of it. This is your chance, then!
