Episode #22 Exercising When Busy with Holly Aldridge PT

Do you struggle to find time for exercise? One of the common mistakes I see is not making your health and in particular exercise a priority.

I get it. Life is busy. Work is demanding. Sometimes exhausting. You work long hours. There aren’t enough hours left in the day. But this is no excuse to neglect your exercise routine and therefore be neglecting your health.

“Start small, build exercise into your daily routine and track your progress” says my PT of 8 years, Holly Aldridge, in this week’s episode.

“Most people focus on the physical benefits of exercise, but the biggest reason to exercise is for your mental health” says Holly.

If you’re constantly stressed and anxious at work or you’re frustrated with your attempts to fit exercise into your routine, this episode’s for you.

But what you’ll get from this episode doesn’t end there. As well as being a brilliant Personal Trainer, Holly is also a very ambitious and astute business owner. She shares her tips on networking, developing your personal brand and posting on social media which are going to help you in your quest to stand out from the crowd and be more visible.
