It's never easy to find a good time or place to train but when you understand the fundamentals and have studied many forms of exercise, you'll be able to create any workout no matter where you are. Most understand the concept of working out at home, a park, a hotel room, on the staircase of a building or on top of a skyscraper like in Chicago or New York for crying out loud but it becomes much more than just where you train.
Time for the most part is an illusion and it's more of a construct to how we apply economically and restrict the human mind to thinking we have so little time for anything other than the aspects of work and financial responsibilities. For those who want to play along, we have 24 hours in a single day, that's 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. Think about that, when you look at time from another perspective, you will find that even the fewest minutes or even 30 seconds can be used to do something that will make you stronger, healthier and/or fit regardless of where you are.
We have become an exhausted society where time is used for some of the most ridiculous things, even in fitness it can make you go bonkers how crazy certain workouts can turn someone into a raving lunatic or such a fanatic that it consumes their soul in the most negative ways. Yes in many ways, we can and have made things productive and thrived but on the deepest level, we still have a lot to learn on how "time" is being spent.
I have studied enough methods of exercise that no matter what environment I'm in, I can find a way to train and so can you. The question is, what could you do regardless of where you are at any given time? It's not easy and you have responsibilities and you have exhausted your brain or body from whatever your job is, the kids, the elderly in-laws, the mortgage, the laundry, the bills, the overwhelming abundance of craziness, you still have a choice to do something that could work for you.
Out of all the years I've been training, I wasn't always motivated or ready or even happy to train and I was in some shitty moods as well but I made a choice. That's what it comes down to is making a choice. I love to train so much that even after breakups, fights, deaths, tired from moving, having no sleep or overslept, cuts, bruises, minor injuries, frustrations, anger and going through anxiety and traumas, I always made a choice to do some kind of training whether it was mediocre or highly intense.
My joy comes from the love I have and what it gives back that brings the rewards. I can be in a crappy neighborhood scared out of my mind or sit in an arena or stadium around 10-45,000 people with bits of moments of anxiety and still do a workout without anyone knowing. I've done workouts on a plane next to strangers. If you find joy in something, it can help you find a positive solution regardless of how you feel, where you are and how to channel certain situations.
Make choices that show how you can define yourself and make the best of them. Some days will be harder than others, some will feel like a breeze and there will be days that you have no clue as to what you can come up with and it becomes instinctive more than just thinking about it. Find joy in something and use it for nearly any given time. Time is just an illusion but the joy in something is a choice you get to make. Hope it's a good one.
