Fitting in an exercise routine to an already busy schedule can be challenging. In reality, this becomes easy once you have adapted your day to day routine. The majority of people who report that they have difficulty finding time to exercise also report that they just can't "fit it in." To truly find time for exercise, you'll need to become organized with scheduling, plan your exercises for the week, and create a dynamic gym environment.

Organization with scheduling is half the battle. It's important that you organize your exercise schedule while you are rested, as this will have a direct impact on your motivation to be in the gym. Planning to exercise based upon how you feel at that given moment can be problematic. However, by choosing a specific time on each day that you plan on exercising, writing this time onto a calendar for an entire month, and following your calendar just as you would a doctor's appointment, you will be leap years in front of everyone else.

Planning your exercises for a whole week at a time allows you to set small and manageable goals, while improving the flow of your exercise program. After all, whichever exercises you choose today will have an impact on tomorrow. Naturally, with this approach, you will see more variety in your exercise program as well.

Selection of which body part to exercise today based off of yesterday's workout can be confusing at first. While this is another topic in and of itself, avoiding repetition of an exercise or muscle group for two to three days is usually only necessary in a pure strengthening program. On the other hand, sub-maximal exertion for endurance workouts allow for greater amounts of repetition throughout a week.

Creating a dynamic exercise environment is the last piece that will ultimately lead you towards finding more time to workout. By constantly changing which exercises you choose, and how you approach a workout, you will become more entertained, shock your body with each workout, and improve your results dramatically. By selecting the same fifteen exercises to perform every time you are in the gym, you are allowing your body to accommodate to these demands and become more efficient over time. Long-distance runners use their efficiency to burn less calories while running, thereby allowing them to run for longer. In the case of fitness, this is also true, so be careful or you'll end up burning less calories as well!
