Find Time to Exercise

As the title states, you have to find time to exercise. Not everyone is as lucky as I am. I have a lot of free time because I am completely in charge of my schedule. I work at home and can take a break whenever I feel like it. Most people do not have that luxury.

One of my best friends, you know who you are, has a major time crunch every single day of the week. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with some way to help her fit exercise in. She has tried on numerous occasions to figure out how to do it, but it doesn’t always work.

Not only is having time an issue, but when all you do is run, run, run you tend to lack the motivation to get your butt moving. You have to find a way to make time for exercise and cut out the excuses.

I know it is far easier to say it than do it. Here are some things that work to help you find the time to exercise:
- Map out your daily schedule and see where exercise may fit in. It helps to get a good view of your day on paper so you can see how busy you really are.- Try to exercise around the same time each day. This helps make it routine and routines are easier to follow.
- If you can only workout for 20 minutes then make it a killer 20 minutes. High intensity exercise and even circuit training is much better for you than a slow and steady workout. Push yourself at each and every workout.
- Do not compare yourself to others. Everyone is different. Everyone has a different schedule, different needs and different abilities. Do what works for you.

I know it isn’t much, but it will get you started. Do not say ‘I can’t’ before you even try. Everyone can workout. You may not be the marathon trained getting in 2 hours a day of exercise, but if you do something and get moving then you are better off than you are not doing anything.
