If your schedule is constantly packed, setting time aside for just working out may seem like a mission impossible. Finding multitasking-friendly workouts that allow you to do several things at once is just the solution you’re looking for, and here are a few fitness routines that fall under that category.
Walking/Hiking
You can get your steps in by going on a walk or a hike, and this can count as a social activity if you invite your friends or family to join you. If you’re a dog owner, you can also take your pet for a walk with you, and cross two things off your to-do list at once.
Running
Running is another activity similar to running and hiking with a great multitasking potential. If you have a friend willing to join you, you can strengthen your bond by running together, but expanding your circle by joining a local running group is also an option.
Cardio Machines
Cardio gym machines, such as a treadmill, elliptical, and exercise bike, are a great fit for multitasking. You can listen to music, audiobooks, and podcasts while using them, and doing these activities is also an option during your solo walks, runs, and hikes.
Yoga/Meditation
Yoga and meditation also have an unexpected multitasking potential. They can help you destress and clear your mind after a long day, and you’ll enjoy them if you’re trying to embrace a mindful approach to your workout routine.
