workout advice for busy people
workout advice for busy people
If you’re in a busy season of life (new job, new to parenthood, trying to make changes, etc), here are some ways you can still maintain your fitness!
A good fitness plan can and should improve your life, helping your health and happiness. Even if you have no interest in strength and muscle, you may want to maintain a basic fitness plan for longevity and health.
Some people may seem unsympathetic. It’s common to hear “you have time – you just don’t want it enough.” While I agree that we make time for our priorities, I also understand how our schedules can seem very full (and overwhelming) sometimes.
I try to give some actionable ideas to improve your workout. In particular:
-Focus on a few, key compound exercises (could be pushups, pullups, and squats)
-Focus on a few intense sets (after you’re warmed up and conditioned for it)
-Set a timer for your rest times. This helps keep you focused and keeps the workout streamlined (sometimes we think a workout takes an hour but a huge part of that is “resting” while distracted).
-If you feel too overwhelmed to make any changes, consider taking a few days to recharge (if possible). It’s hard to make good decisions when we’re burnt out, malnourished, and exhausted. Consider taking a few steps “back” where you spend a few days trying to get more rest and prioritizing healthy food and sleep. This can help you take many steps forward afterwards! I discuss this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1jJ5Pek-Dk
-If you can’t currently set aside time for a dedicated workout during your day, consider incorporating more physical tasks in your routine – walking to work (even part way), stretching occasionally at your desk, a few squats before the bathroom, etc. A dedicated workout is usually better, but small changes like this can help keep your body moving where you otherwise wouldn’t.
Have a wonderful day!

Workout tips techniques diet for perimenopausal fat people 🙏☺️
it is so true that you get gains when you only exercise for short amounts of time, since I subscribed here (about half a year) I have started doing 25 minutes 3 or 4 times a week, I go for a fairly high intensity, the only equipment I have is a door pull-up bar, 5kg dumbbells and a resistance band so it’s not even cost me much, but even I’m surprised at how much difference it’s made, and not just to how I look but to how I feel, if you read this I can’t thank you enough 😀
Surprise language lesson for me 😛
I did not no that "my inner pigdog" is an expression used in English. I learned something ^^
My usual workouts are 1-5 minutes long (single movement/ support chains), 15 minutes when I have time and energy for multiple sets and/ or full body. This way I can do one every single day if I like and my body’s ready. Growing and progressing that way for one year. 😊

I liked the change of background, that was nice and organic
where can i get that shirt!?
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Finding time to work out with a busy schedule can be tough, but these tips are super helpful.
Young Man you are a remarkable human being.
Where do i get the Hello MF’s (my friends) shirt??
thank you for this !!
To go to sleep early is a task. But when I hit the gym, I am automatically tired and I sleep early that day. So to get into that routine, just hit the gym even if you haven’t slept well. You will sleep early that night and wake fresh the next day for a work out.
I like your shirt.

Damn, I feel so heard.
I really want that "Hello MF’s" tshirt 😂
After I saw the thumbnail, I really thought you are going to make a speech about Concord and Ubisoft, did not realize this was my other favorite long haired Asian youtuber
thank you for all your videos. Everytime i feel down, because I’m constantly exhausted and it’s wearing my body down, i watch some of your videos and you always make me feel better and motivated to regularly exercise again. ❤

Hampton, you rock! As many people already said: you are so empathetic and caring in your delivery. I hope you’re doing amazing.

balls are social and cheap
table tennis is an idea for the office

I just discovered your videos through your shorts. I really like your communication style.
Last year I experienced an office syndrome, so I tried to fix it with pull up. Starts at 5 per day in 3 sets (2/2/1). Right now my office syndrome gets a lot better plus I could do 30+ pull up per day (13/10/10). Persistence, discipline, and home cooking helps a lot. It takes 30-60 mins per day for work out, the main struggles are cooking tbh 😂
Thank you for suggesting that I do Squats while maintaining eye contact. This should definitely establish my dominance.
Yep. I work out an hour after work around 6pm. I eat 3 hours prior to load up on energy and take coffee at 12noon, that’s enough caffein to power through before sleep. Doing daily stuff allows for workouts too like at the grocery store. If you’re not buying an ungodly amount of stuff, skip the cart and use the basket. That’s like a dumbell or a kettlebell especially when you’re filling it. Can be used for curls and squats, and other exercises that can be used like a dumbell or kettle bell ESPECIALLY when waiting in line.
I often don’t have time to look at the time so I do things like standing on one leg while waiting in line or half running to and from the car, using stairs when it’s an option
i want a house at the place this guy shoots his videos
I am doctor in residency in germany, i work daily plus my shifts i barely manage to sleep and eat let alone learning and studying😢
Bro looks so feminine😂
Love the ‘hello MFs" tank top!
When i tell people i don’t have the time and money i actually mean: I’m depressed, i need a work environment which doesn’t drain me (which it couldn’t even i had the money to change my profession) and a coach who gives me advice how to do this effectively, but i don’t have the money for any of this. I don’t even have the money to buy me a bike. And when i say i have no time, i mean people are judging me if i do this at work and i don’t have the physical resources to find a way to relax after work and still workout in the needed amount.
thanks man for teaching fitness in a very positive light.
Your channel is such a dose of positivity!
the thumbnail is perfect lol
I finally started my fitness journey with calisthenics for a couple of weeks and right now my rest between sets is mostly under one minute, I usually sip one or two times from my water bottle, take some deep breaths and go at it again.
Is it not good to have such short rest times from a scientific view or does it entirely depend how individually someone needs rest?
Because you mentioned 2-3 minutes or more when you are not feeling well that day.
Thank you:)
A thing that helped me every now and then is just to convince me to do one sit-up. And once I do that, it is a lot easy to go from there because I already started.
I do pushups, situps and squats for strength endurance,
And shadowboxing for cardio all at home maximum 30 to 40 minutes,
Nothing else and people ask me if i go to the gym😂😂
Hope you all had a good day!
The thumbnail is the suit I wore for my wedding… I think. It took me a few tries to remember how to tie a tie (I always forget because I don’t wear one often lol).
I used to have a very busy job so I started splitting my routines and it worked really well for me. This is what I did:
10min HIIT as soon as I wake up
7min core routine before lunch
30-40min main strenght training before dinner.
Some days I wasn’t able to do the main session but the HIIT was good enough to make me feel good both physically and emotionally.
I used to do pushups while waiting for the shower water to heat up lol
I prefer to work out at home. Doesn’t have to be scheduled or for very long, just any time I’m not doing anything else. Or while I’m watching a video or listening to podcast. Usually multiple times a day in short intervals
Work lunchtime sees me walking to the shops, around the shops, over and under the shops, and then back again! What did I buy? not a thing! What did I gain? 5km of YES PLEASE!
I had to give up my expensive trainer when I went in on a condo with my boyfriend. I feel like my consistency at the gym died with this. If there is an appointment that I had to book in advance, and someone is expecting me and I paid 100 bucks for it, my list of excuses for not going dissolve. When its just me and I could technically just work out whenever… its so easy to convince myself later will be a better time. Later I will feel less exhausted, later I wont have indigestion, later I wont have a dinner to prepare. Imo, being able to afford a trainer everyday is a wealthy persons huge advantage. I hope I can actually hold myself accountable one day.
What an effing thumbnail 😭
Bro I love the shirt 😭
Great advice on prioritizing fitness despite a hectic lifestyle. It’s all about making small changes that add up over time.
What about for walking? Sorry I know that’s not your focus, but I want to do running and walking, could running hard and faster be that intensity? Did I just answer my own question?
I don’t know why this popped up for my recs bc I’ve never looked into fitness youtubers. But the vibe here is immaculate. The attitude is so friendly and open. I dont know if this will fully nudge me to start habitual fitness bc I *do* genuinely feel I don’t have time outside of my weekly walks across my neighborhood, but at the same time I kind of want to anyway? I at least want to watch your stuff to see you greater realm of content on burnout and foundations and see if I keep vibing with it. Thanks for the relaxed but informative style you have, it feels very honest and comfortable ❤
Please get to the point.
