Summer tends to be a season of chaos, as people get out of their regular schedule. But humans are creatures of habit and routine. Likewise, your exercise routine should be worked into your daily ritual. Studies have shown that people who take the time to work exercise into their daily routines tend to stick with it more.
Here are a few tips from Rogue KB Fitness on how to set up an effective training regimen:
1. Pick a time of the day that works for you and stick to it 3-4 times a week. I workout in the mid-mornings because that is what fits my schedule. However, I teach classes around the clock, and the most popular times are my 5:20 am class and 6:00 pm class. You can make the time if you plan.
High Noon, everyday, we hit it hard at Quantico!
2. Workout with a supportive group of people. Even as a trainer, I workout with other trainers and friends. They are supportive and can push you to the next level. I did so for years at Quantico with a dedicated group of civilians and Marines, and I still have workout partners today. However, I also can workout alone. If you need to be pushed, join a group or get a personal trainer.
3. Focus on strength and conditioning with a tool that works. Obviously, I am biased here, for I swear by kettlebells. But the science is out on them. They strengthen and build amazing endurance like nothing else, in as little as 20 minutes. And that is what many busy adults need. (Check out this article.) They are PROVEN to burn hundreds of calories fast, and not based on false claims.
I know that if I don't take my time to train, I get grumpy, irritable, and feel lethargic. If I go a few days, then stay away! I make it part of my daily discipline to workout: It is my time to de-stress. So make time to create your own training-exercise routine--whether it's 15 minutes or and hour--and get back into that groove.
The bottom line is dedicate a time of day to your exercise to reap the rewards, and make sure you are doing it right: with effective tools, positive people and environment, and good programming by people who know what they are doing.

Kettlebells, bag gloves, and a jump rope: It doesn't get any simpler than that!
