When you’ve got tasks and deadlines piling, it could be easy to forget your physical health. Then, you’d see running clubs, Pilates classes, weightlifting… ugh. Finding the time for a full-blown workout feels like an impossible task. Here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be! You don’t need to dedicate hours to exercise to stay healthy.
You could get stronger by exercising just 30 minutes a day, and it doesn’t even need to be done all at once. Break it down into manageable chunks, like taking 5-minute walks after a meal, stretching between work or study sessions, or doing quick exercises before bed. Little bursts of activity throughout the day are just as effective in the long run as longer workouts.
Exercising for just 30 minutes a day helps improve your strength, mood, and energy levels, and it makes a big difference in maintaining your overall health. In the long run, your 3-minute squats now would save your kneecaps when you’re older! Of course, to make it even more fun (and if you have the luxury of time in your hands), you could try to schedule a run with your friends or family. Make sure to bring your Jelli M1 mask with you during a workout—it keeps you safe and it won’t fog up!
Of course, the food you eat contributes to overall health. Remember to add vegetables and protein throughout the day (PSA: replacing a meal with iced coffee will make you crash more than you think). It may take a while to form healthier habits, but consistency is better than not taking care of yourself at all.
Finding time can be challenging, especially when you're balancing work, studying, or taking care of others. But remember—pushing yourself without taking a break can be counterproductive. Small, daily workouts are an easy way to prioritize your well-being without overcomplicating your schedule. You’re only human, and there’s only one of you, so make your health a priority today.
