Sometimes it’s not a question of desire, but of time. We look with envy who, during the day, at any time, manages to run through the streets of our city, without having to look at the clock. We too would like to do it, but unfortunately our commitments prevent us from this ease of exits. Why it must be kept presents the dressing, the warm-up, the jog, the cool-down, the shower. Those who have 30 minutes, honestly, struggle to fit everything. However, even if we have little time, 30 minutes a day could be enough to train. In short, we must not despair, trying to take advantage of moments and opportunities to keep ourselves in shape, however.
Sometimes it is up to us to create the conditions to still be able to train
Sometimes, we have to be the ones to know how to carve out these moments. An example? Setting the alarm clock first. It is known that, especially in the heat, it is difficult to sleep. And, often, the morning is the coolest time when you rest the most. However, even getting up thirty minutes earlier than usual, rest could be rewarding, perhaps going to bed early the night before. Giving us time to do our home exercises or a jog outside.
An opportunity to train is given by the stairs of the house. Instead of taking the elevator, we learn to go up and down using the steps. Without realizing it, we will be training several muscles, such as the quadriceps or glutes. And also the cardiovascular system. Better still would be to do them two at a time, uphill. If we are short on time, we learn to take a brisk walk to work. Sometimes, even if we go out fifteen minutes earlier, we could avoid taking public transport, reaching the place by walking. If we don’t want to get sweaty, it might be an option for the return.
Even if we have little time, 30 minutes a day could be enough to train and lose weight thanks to this precious table
Running from the office to home could also be an idea that many people take advantage of. Just take the change to the office and, when you come back, do it running, especially if we are not in the midst of Milan traffic. Taking your children or grandchildren to camp and standing still to watch their training could also be a waste of time. Let’s take advantage of it and, while they train, we can go for a jog or targeted exercises. Is the lunch break necessary in full? Those who work in smart working, for example, could dedicate that time off to go running and wash. And so, we will also be less hungry, activating a better metabolism.
And if 30 minutes seemed short to us, we must think that we would be wrong. The WHO has recommended sporting activity at least 5 times a week for just 30 minutes. It is not so much the duration as the quality of what we do. And it’s important to diversify. For example, on Mondays we could have fun with fartlek, which leaves us free to improvise, improving our speed. On Tuesdays we do 30 minutes of slow regenerating running. Wednesday is the time to dedicate yourself to strength, that is a little slow running for 5 or 10 minutes and then a few series of squat jumps and some final sprints of running. Slow running Thursday. On Friday, however, we close with a quick run. We start slow, we accelerate after 10 minutes, then run another 5 or 10 at our maximum potential and we end up slow for 5 minutes.
