Poor Person Fitness Hacks *Rushed World Edition
Because a lot of you said you needed hacks to match your busy, real world, lifestyles so here we go:
- Drink water. I’ll always say this. Water is free and its the best thing for you. Add lemon or lime- also mostly free at restaurants.
- Pack your lunch at NIGHT! Then its a grab and go in the morning as your rushing out the door. Great quick packed lunches include:
1. Left overs
2. Grilled meat/veggies and a side of choice
3. The classic sandwich
- Salads can be expensive at restaurants. Check out the kids menu. A TON of restaurants have kids meals that come in large portions (if not the SAME portion as adult meals) for half the price. And most of the time they cannot tell you your not all allowed to order off the kids menu.
- Seriously season your vegetables makes a world of difference.
- Grocery shopping? Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are just as good as fresh, but usually a lot cheaper. Also rice and beans are pretty cheap. DEPENDENT on where you live.
- Pasta and pasta sides are usually $1. Add some meat/veggies and sauce of choice BOOM whole meal. Also makes a good lunch for the next day.
- No time to make lunch? No time to grab lunch? No time to pack lunch? OKAY... lets just go with that in order for me to appease my mutuals. Keep granola bars and/or trail mix in your car, at your desk, or on your person. They last a long time and will keep you from dying of hunger as the day passes. Also they take all of 60 seconds to scarf down.
- Stuck in traffic. (roll your window down) Put your arms to the side and do arm circles. If the whether is bad put your arms in front of you. More Cardio.
- Squats, push ups, and jumping jacks have always been staples of mine. Lower, upper, and cardio. Do them when you have free time. No equipment needed, 25 each.
- Like someone said no gym no problem. There has to be a playground near you somewhere. When there are no kids it becomes your new outdoor gym. Monkey bars = Pull ups. Bench = Box Jumps. Slide = Resistant uphill climbs. SeeSaw = Balanced squats.
- Parking far away may get your car vandalized? Park normally but walk a lap around the parking before you enter the building. More cardio.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalader. More cardio.
- Studying or readying? Clear the floor and walk back and forth. More Cardio.
I hope these hacks helped those of you living the fast paced lifestyle. If your set on making excuses then these wont help you. And OBVIOUSLY all of these wont work for everyone. You have to put in the work and make the time. Making excuses keeps you in the same situation. Add more hacks for a busy lifestyle lets keep it going!
