Can't Find The Time To Exercise?

As a Health and Fitness Coach, one of the most frequent
question and problems I'm asked by new clients is: "What should
I do Larry, I just don't have time to exercise?

In our very fast paced world today with many of us balancing
multiple roles, as an employee or business owner, parent,
spouse, household manager, and responsible citizen, finding time
for exercise can be a real problem. As a result, our health and
fitness goals often get put on the back burner.

Most of us realize that regular physical exercise is absolutely
necessary for us to maintain our overall health and fitness,
keep our weight down, to look and feel great, and to stay young
longer. So what's the answer?

Well I have good news for you. Several studies, including one
published in The Journal of Physiology, clearly show that short
bursts of intense exercise, equivalent to only a few minutes per
day, can produce the same or even better results than
traditional cardio endurance training or spending hours at the
gym lifting weights.

You may not have time to go to the gym, but everyone can find
just 7-10 minutes per day to exercise at home. So time really
does not have to be an issue, if you are really want to lose
weight, get in great shape, and improve your health.

The key is to first make a decision to make taking care of your
health and fitness a top priority, and then the taking steps
necessary to fit a few minutes of exercise into your schedule at
least 4-5 times per week. Once you've made that decision, you'll
find there are lots of ways to accomplish your health and
fitness goals in just minutes each day.

If you don't have time to go to the gym, get a small bench or
fitness ball and a set of dumbbells for your strength training
exercises. There are also many effective body weight exercises
you can do, as well as short intense interval cardio exercises
that will burn lots of calories, help you lose weight, and
strengthen your cardiovascular system.

You could also find ways to include exercise as a part of your
daily schedule. Go ahead and make a list of all the times,
places and ways that you could fit in some kind of physical
activity into your day.

Are there are there stairs in your office or apartment
building? Go ahead, and climb them for five minutes a day.

When you go on a short errand, can you walk instead of taking
the car? Do so.

Do you take a lunch hour? Use 10-15 minutes of it to walk,
stretch, meditate, do push-ups, crunches, squats, lunges or
dips.

The bottom line is that regardless of how busy your daily
schedule is, a lack of time doesn't have to keep you from losing
weight, and getting really fit, slim, and healthy. And, in fact,
ongoing exercise research is clearly showing that short intense
strength training and cardio exercise is actually far more
effective than long slow cardio or spending hours in the gym.
