Dumbbells and Deadlines: How to Squeeze Fitness Into Any Schedule
Description
We explore why fitness is often the first thing abandoned when life gets hectic, despite being something most people claim is crucially important to them, and practical strategies to maintain consistency regardless of your schedule.
• The urgent vs. important conundrum: why we tend to address immediate fires while postponing what truly matters long-term
• Why missing workouts has no immediate negative consequences, making it easy to keep postponing
• The danger of seeing fitness as binary rather than as a continuum – something is always better than nothing
• Creating contingency plans for busy days (15-20 minute home workouts) to maintain momentum
• The importance of blocking time in your calendar specifically for exercise
• Building a fitness identity where being active isn't optional but part of who you are
• Low-barrier options for starting or maintaining fitness at home without equipment or gym intimidation
• How consistency and momentum are everything – even shortened workouts maintain your exercise habit
