I would consider myself somewhat of a magician, but one thing I’ve never figured out how to do is create more hours in the day (lmk if you have any tips!)
I keep seeing some version of the advice, “You just have to make the time.”
And I’m calling bu****it.
Because sometimes there simply isn’t more time to make.
Between some recent changes in my work and routine — and the Arizona summer making outdoor walks a little less appealing (if you know you know 😅), I realized how much my daily movement had changed.
I used to walk all the time. Around the neighborhood. To the pond. Just because I felt like going for a walk.
These days, I have less time for those walks, and for a good chunk of the day, it’s simply too hot to comfortably be outside.
I still strength train regularly, but I realized I wasn’t getting nearly as many steps — or as much cardiovascular movement — as I wanted.
What I didn’t have was another hour to dedicate to it.
So instead of asking myself how I could make more time, I started asking a much more useful question:
How can I change my environment to make better use of the time I already have?
Enter: incline treadmill + workstation.
Now some of the hours I’m already spending menu planning, researching, answering emails and running a business can also include movement.
And since getting more movement back into my days, I genuinely feel different.
More energy. Clearer thinking. Better sleep.
Strength training has always been a priority for me, but I’ve been reminded how much better I feel when I’m moving more throughout my day, too.
And really, this is the same thing I work on with my clients.
Sometimes something changes, what used to work doesn’t work anymore, and we adjust.
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to work with the life you’re actually living.
So for now, I’m walking while I work.
And still working on that barn body. 🐴🤍
