Keywords exercise, time management, at-home workouts, prioritization, fitness Takeaways Time is the most cited reason for not exercising, but it can be overcome by making exercise a priority. Breaking up workouts into shorter segments throughout the day can be just as effective as longer sessions. At-home workouts can be done without equipment and still provide strength and cardio benefits. Planning and scheduling exercise in advance helps ensure it becomes a regular part of your routine. Sound Bites "You don't have to work out for 30 minutes a day. Yes, the CDC is recommending 150 minutes, but it does not have to be all at once." "You have to schedule this. You have to define why you're doing what you're doing. And you have to make it a priority."
