Too Busy to Get Fit? Here’s How to Prioritise Your Health (Even With a Crazy Schedule)

Let’s be honest – life in your 30s, 40s, and 50s isn’t slowing down any time soon.

You’re juggling work, possibly kids, ageing parents, and everything else life throws at you. The thought of carving out 5 hours a week to “get in shape” feels about as likely as sipping a mojito on a beach in the Maldives this Friday.

But here’s the kicker: you don’t need hours a week to make a serious change. You just need a plan that works for real life.

1. Start with what you can do, not what you “should” do

A lot of women tell me they wait for the “perfect time” – when life calms down, when they’re more motivated, or when they’ve lost a few pounds already.

Stop. Waiting.

3 x 30-minute strength-based sessions per week is more than enough to see changes in your energy, shape and mood – especially with the right approach.

That’s just 1.25% of your week.

2. Make fitness a non-negotiable meeting with yourself

Just like a dentist appointment, or picking the kids up. Put it in the calendar. You’re not being selfish, you’re setting a standard.

Need help showing up? That’s where a structured fitness class in Bridport or personal training in Bridport comes into play. Accountability changes everything.

3. Energy breeds energy

Yes, you’re tired. But often, that fatigue is from not moving enough.

Exercise isn’t about draining you. Done right, it boosts your energy, improves sleep, and gives your brain the same dopamine hit as a glass of wine – without the hangover.

Takeaway Tips:

• Schedule 3x 30-minute workouts (put it in your diary now)

• Choose strength-focused sessions that give you more bang for your buck

• If motivation is low, join a structured fitness class in Bridport or get support from a personal trainer in Bridport

• Give yourself permission to not be perfect. Progress over perfection wins.
