When I was still a student, it's easier for me to get fit. I can eat everything I want without getting fat. It's because I'm young and my metabolism is fast.
I go to the gym. I play basketball. I run. I hike. I'm very active during that day. But things change when adulting hit me. I started working and I became inactive in my sports.
Being fit became challenging for me. I eat more and exercise less. I can't even find my abs (or ribs) anymore.
It Really Hurts (♪)
It really hurts me that I can't exercise because I have no time. It really hurts me that my clothes are shrinking. And that I became tired easily even if I'm still in my 20s.
I said to myself, I don't want this sedentary lifestyle. I believe that when I become unhealthy even if I'm still young, it will become worse when I become older or young at heart.
That's why, like BDO, I try to find ways to exercise despite my busy schedule. And I want to share to you the 3 Exercise Tips that I'm doing right now.
If you want to to be fit but don't have time, this is for you.
My 3 Exercise Tips for Busy People are:
1. FIND TIME
In my fitness journey, I tried to exercise at different times. I tried to do it before work and I tried to do it after work.
And based on my experience, morning is the best time to exercise if you want to be consistent.
Why? We can't control what will happen after work because there is babe time, family time, or work time.
In my case, I wake up as early as 4 am everyday just to exercise. But you don't need to do that. You just need to find time that works for you.
2. PREPARE AT NIGHT
At night, I make it a habit to prepare things that I will need in my morning workout. This will help me lessen the friction of doing the actual workout in the morning.
Before I go to sleep,
- I already wear my workout clothes.
- The rubber mats and dumbbells are already setup on the floor.
- And I'm already finished preparing my Protein Shake.
Because my things are already prepared at night, all I need to do is to wake up early, drink my protein shake, and do my workout.
For those who are asking what is the Protein Shake I'm currently drinking right now. The name is CleanFit Whey Protein Isolate.
CleanFit Whey Protein comes with 2 Flavors. These are Vanilla and Chocolate.
If you want to know more about CleanFit Whey Protein Isolate, you can check it in this link.
For around P1,300 you can have a CleanFit Whey Protein Isolate sourced and made from New Zealand's Grass Fed Dairy Cow.
3. START SMALL
In my fitness journey, I experience working out for 2-3 hours. When I'm busy, I only workout for 15 to 30 Mins.
I observed that I'm more consistent when I'm only doing 15 mins workout compared to my 2 hours workout.
Because it's only a 15-30 mins workout, I can do it everyday. So if you struggle with consistency, I encourage you to start small.
What to do if you don't know what workout to do?
If you still don't have your training plan, you can start by simply running for at least 15 mins everyday.
You can watch on Youtube or you can download the Freeletics App for your Personalized Training Plan for as low as P280 to P490 per month.

These are the 3 Exercise Tips that you can do even if you're busy. These are:
- Find Time
- Prepare at Night
- Start Small
I also share tips where you can get your personalized training plan in case you don't have one.
You will not see results early because being fit is not a one time event. It's a lifestyle.
But after a couple of months of exercising for at least 15 mins everyday,
- You will feel more alive and you will last longer.
- It will give you a sense of accomplishment.
- You will become more active and productive at work.
- You will not have to worry if you become busy during the day.
