Fitting workouts into your busy schedule doesn’t come easy, but there are ways to combine your fitness sessions with other activities. Here are three multitasking-friendly workout programs that you can easily combine with other activities, from socializing to listening to podcasts and audiobooks.

Walking, Running, & Hiking

Walking and multitasking go hand in hand because you can do everything from shopping to doing household chores along the way. You can also get your friends and family involved and treat it like a social activity. Hiking and running are the same, and you can even expand your social circle by joining a local running group. 

Cardio Machines

Other cardio activities are also pretty multi-tasking friendly, especially if you’re using one of the popular gym machines, such as a treadmill or exercise bike. They’re best combined with audio materials since you can easily listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and music along the way.

Yoga & Meditation

Listening to audio materials while doing yoga is also an option, but it’s not the only multitasking option. If you’re looking for ways to distress after a long day and invite some mindfulness into your life, yoga and meditation will do just that, while helping you stay in shape.
