5 TIPS FROM KING STRENGTH & PERFORMANCE TO SQUEEZE IN YOUR TRAINING BEFORE A BUSY WORK DAY.
As far as gym excuses go, we've heard them all at King Strength and Performance...

"I'M SURE I'D LOOK LIKE THAT TO, IF I DIDN'T HAVE A FULL-TIME JOB."

"I REALLY WANT TO HIT THE GYM LATER, BUT I HAVE NO MOTIVATION AFTER 8 HOURS OF WORK."

"I WANT TO BE IN BETTER SHAPE, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME."

This list could go on for days, but that's not what you came here for. Fitting in a workout in your daily schedule can seem like an impossible task.
​
With long work days, your schedule is probably all booked up right? But somehow, we always manage to fit an hour long scrolling session on Instagram or an extra episode of Netflix at night. Whether we like it or not, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. It's all about priorities.

Right now, setting an alarm 1.5 hours earlier sounds about as fun as doing burpees in class. However, the endorphin high that you feel the rest of the day is worth it.

Here are some hopefully helpful tips to get in that workout before a busy day at work:

  1. LAY OUT WORKOUT CLOTHES THE NIGHT BEFORE: Having workout clothes next to the bed has been one of the most helpful steps in getting to the gym before the sun comes up. There is no time wasted rummaging through drawers in the dark when you're already prepared.
  2. MIX UP YOUR PRE-WORKOUT OR PRE-SET YOUR COFFEE MAKER BEFORE BED: A big factor in getting to the gym early in the morning is caffeine. Before bed, mix up your pre-workout and throw it in the fridge so that you can head out the door without thinking. If you aren't a pre-workout type of person, try setting your coffee maker for 10 minutes earlier than the time you intend on waking up so the smell of the fresh brew gets you out of bed.
  3. SET MULTIPLE ALARMS, SORRY BABE: By setting more than one alarm, you're reminded that you are sleeping on your goals, literally. At first it may help to set 2 or 3 alarms that are about 5 minutes apart to ensure you get out of bed.
  4. MEAL PREP YOUR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH: If you have a day job to get to post-workout, having your meals prepped beforehand will be an absolute game changer. This will cut down on the time you spend in the morning packing up your lunch or making breakfast in a rush. Easy things to prepare for post workout food are overnight oats with protein, a banana and peanut butter, a protein bar, egg bites, etc. Food preparation saves time and also saves you money.
  5. PACK YOUR WORK CLOTHES IN YOU GYM BAG: Pick out your work clothes the night before and bring them along with you. This will shave off some travel time rather than stopping at home on the way. Finish your workout, change and get on with the rest of your day. 

If you have any tips of your own - share them below! We would love to hear your personal advice and share it with the King Strength and Performance community!
