There's not enough time to exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





How many times have a heard this (I have said it too before)...You DO have enough time! You made time to squeeze in that hour-long episode of your favorite show, so you can squeeze in a half hour of a little activity away from the couch. In fact, multi-task! Workout while watching your favorite show!  And if you have to, get up earlier in the morning and get your workout in!  Do what you will stick with...for me the afternoon is best, so it happens..NO EXCUSES

The only way to improve the way you CURRENTLY feel and look is by doing something beyond your regular daily activity (let's be honest...you're regular daily activity isn't cutting it if you still don't have the results you're looking for...I was doing the same thing at the gym but it wasn't working for me anymore.  Reason why I started P90X)....here's where exercise comes in, people! So don't say you got enough at work, etc.

How in the world can exercise be boring? Let's define the word, shall we? Boring - arousing no interest or curiosity, not lively or spirited, listless, slow in motion or action, insensible, unfeeling, etc. NOW let's define exercise. Exercise - bodily or mental exertion, for the sake of improving health, means of practice or training, putting into action, use, or effect, etc. You figure it out...exercise does not equal boring! Think about the multitudes of activities out there for you to do indoors, outdoors, weights, cardio, adventurous, relaxing, live workouts, DVDs, etc. You WILL find something you enjoy. Mix it up! YOU DON'T have to go to the gym to be working out and getting healthy.  If hiking is your thing DO IT!!!!

Exercise IS necessary! You're body was meant to maintain itself as long as you send it the right signals! And those signals are exercise and feeding it right. Exercise is necessary if you want to (don't lie and say you don't desire these) lose weight, live longer, avoid disease and sickness, have energy, etc!

You're not too tired, either, because guess what? Exercise gives you more energy!! The more you work your body, the more efficient it becomes, and the more energy you'll have throughout your day!

Yeah right you'll do it later! (this NEVER works) Putting off working out just means you're not going to do it. When you say you're "maybe" going to show up for someone's party, what does that usually mean? No, you're not going! Same thing here. Find a time you know you won't be interrupted by life and get your workout in....again, getting up early is a GREAT solution! If you don't plan it, you won't make time for it. You'll be so glad you did it!

Working late is just another "I'll do it later." Once again, make the time. Do it in the morning or sneak in a quick session at lunch or after work. SOMETHING will be better than doing ANYTHING.

If you say fitness doesn't work for you, then you're not doing it right or you're not being as honest about sticking to a plan as you think. Fitness works for everyone. Find someone to help you set up a plan! There are plenty of people who can help you...LIKE ME!!! And you have to commit to fitness and health. You can't expect much success when you're working out, but stopping at McDonald's for a burger combo once or twice a week.

Let me know if there's anything else you want me to nip in the butt for you! Get out and get fit!
