You know you have to make time in your life for proper exercise. You understand how important it is for your health and you do make promises to yourself that you will get it done a couple of times each week. But what happens? Nothing, because you always manage to find a reason (excuse) why you can't do it. Work, home, family, friends; in your world, they have to come right? It is time to be honest. Where does your health and fitness sit on your priority list? Is it even on the list? Many people have been told that exercise should be 'fun' and they should 'enjoy' it. But the truth is proper exercise isn't always 'fun'. Its actually 'work'. Whether we like it or not it is the work or movement that your body needs to stay healthy. Here are some of the reasons (excuses) why people keep putting off proper exercise see if you can recognize any of them. • You are waiting for things to calm down in your life. Have you not figured it out yet? Life doesn't calm down there will always be work, kids, family, social obligations, they are never going to go away. If you are waiting for a clear schedule, you will be waiting for a long time. You really need to exercise and you must find a way to do it now. • You don't have the motivation. Motivation is not something that just comes to you. It has to be worked on every single day. What got you going today may not work tomorrow. Motivation is not something you suddenly 'get'. It comes from within and something that the more you work on the better it becomes. • You are waiting to fall in love with exercise. You believe that you will suddenly wake up one morning, itching to get to that workout. It just doesn't work that way. Find pleasure in your proper exercise program (strength training). Make little goals for yourself, challenge yourself and enjoy the feeling of your body doing what it must do to remain healthy. • It seems like there are no immediate consequences to skipping a workout. It is not like you will gain 10 pounds or suddenly get heart disease if you miss one day you think. But, it is easy to let the time get away from you until, pretty soon it has been a month since your last workout. Then the consequences, weight gain, low energy, loss of muscle tone become apparent. • You do not have huge chunks of time to do all this exercise. Well then you are in luck, you do not need lots of time. If you are doing a proper exercise program of strength training you can achieve a lot in a very short time. Only long, slow ineffective activities like walking, jogging or cycling take a lot of time and don't give any muscle toning benefits which is what you need if your goal is to build yourself a strong, lean healthy body. Taking time out of your day to care for yourself is important. Having a strong and fit body and mind can make you feel good about yourself and your life. This can contribute to long-term feelings of wellbeing along with long term health and wellness.
