Try and add in at least three hours of exercise a week. Working out clears the mind, sculpts the body and potentially bolsters the immune system against pesky viral flus. Some weeks are workout gold, but to say that other weeks are a complete exercise failure would be an understatement; you might manage an hour of breaking a sweat, if at all. Otherwise, you sit in traffic not-so-silently swearing under your breath as pesky chores take up way more time than necessary. As frustrating as it can be to fall behind schedule, it’s unfortunately the reality of life—there will be some weeks we just cannot make it to boxing or even to the half hour on the treadmill. What’s truly important to realize in the haphazard days is that your body is still something to be proud of—even if you’ve put on a little padding. So what? You’ll burn off the extra kilos ASAP, and until then, the world will (shockingly) go on. Balancing work with play and moving past body image issues can be tough. Luckily, we’re here to help you get past exactly that!
