Not enough TIME to workout.
I was standing in the check out line yesterday at a local Wal-Mart when I overheard a lady say, "I wish I had time to workout" as she thumbed through a women's fitness magazine. Now mind you if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say that, I would be retired by now. I have a hard time buying into that statement, because its an excuse people use to talk themselves out of doing nothing at all. Let's face it, we all have the same amount of hours in a day. What we choose to do with those hours is up to us. Yes I understand that work, kids, ect. are hours that we have no control of. But the hours we do have control of, we choose what to put in those time slots. I find that people think that working out has to be an all or nothing approach. This simply is not true. If you only have 30 min. a day to workout, so be it. In the video I just posted called "Wilderness workout", I spent a total of maybe 10 min. doing that workout and that was going through it only once. If you had more time you could go through that workout 2 maybe 3 times and really get a great workout. My point is you don't have to join a gym and you don't need fancy equipment. You need the desire to feel better and want to make some small changes from your daily routine. That may mean cutting back on surfing the Internet, daily TV shows, or just doing nothing. Notice I said cut back, not stop. Just MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF(that statement alone should be taken seriously) to start a simple routine that last at the most 10-30min. That's it! Do this 3-4 times per week and your working out! Take a walk outside after your done at a faster than normal pace for cardio. Not only will this help with fat loss, but you will be amazed at how much this will clear your head and prepare you for the next day. So many people are looking for a drug to feel better,get rid of aches and pains,cope with life, and to just sleep at night. I'm offering you the solution to alot of those things. You just have to take that first step and start moving. That's it, just start moving outside of your normal routine for 10 min. a day. Then as you start feeling better and getting more energy take it up to 15, 20, and 30 at the most. Add in a cardio walk for 15-20min and you have a great workout at home. Just take baby steps and you will succeed. Look at it as an overwhelming, time consuming activity and more than likely you will never start. If working out at home is out of the question, then turn to your workplace or office. Instead of the wildness workout, call it the office workout. Now that's a good idea for a new DVD! Use your desk for push ups, chair for dips, ect. The possibilities are endless when you start thinking outside the box. If I can be of any help with your particular situation please respond on this blog. I would love to hear from you and give you some ideas based on your situation. For now, just commit to yourself by saying, "I'm going to make a change NOW!"
