We're idealists, planning to do every workout we ever committed to, reading every book, and even flossing twice a day. But it's important to be realistic. Cruz even admits these recommendations are based on an ideal situation and to never feel guilty or get down on yourself if you miss a workout or have to cut one short.
"Anything is better than nothing," Cruz says. Ultimately, you should experiment and find what works best for you. Everyone is different, and every week is different. Whether you have time for a hot-girl walk around the block, a scenic bike ride, just five minutes of core work, or a whole hour to spend in the gym, what matters is that you get your body moving when you can.
Just remember that consistency is the most important thing. One moment doesn't define you — and one workout won't make or break your goals.
