Finding Time To Exercise

Something most of us want and need to do, exercise.  One of our biggest obstacles is finding the time.   Whether you are a stay at home mom, or a career person, there are ways to fit in exercising, without having to take up a lot of time out of your already busy day.

You don’t need to join a gym or buy expensive gym equipment.  You do need to decide what form of exercise best suites you and your schedule.  It could range from walking, using weights, toning/Pilate exercise videos, or all of the above.  You can purchase hand weights and videos at very reasonable prices.  Maybe pickup an issue, or even subscribe, to Fitness Magazine.  Every issue is filled with different exercises you can do at home.

Start your day off with a workout.  Wake up 45 minutes to an hour earlier then you normally do, to fit in some exercising.  You’re having a lengthy phone conversation; why not do some stand up leg exercises, or arm curls.  While watching your favorite TV show or the news, get on the floor and do some abs or leg exercises.  The kids are sitting down for breakfast or lunch, pop in one of your exercise videos, do as much of it as you can.  Some is better then none.  My exercise videos are broken down into 10 to 15 minute sessions of abs, butt and thighs.  You can do one session one day along with hand weights, and another session another day. 

Determination, motivation and creativity take you a long way.  Treat yourself to looking and feeling good, exercise today!
