Health and Fitness Tip #30 - How to beat the Excuse, "I don't have time"


Did you know the number one Exercise Excuse is 'I Don't Have Time.' But did you know that we all have the same time in a day and that we choose to spend it differently. Question for you...
 
"How much television do you watch?"  Think about how much time you watch TV. Within a half hour of one show you could get a good workout in and be done for the day! TV takes up  A LOT of time. More time than we would like to admit. So how do you fix that?
 
1. TURN THE TV OFF. If you have Netflix, Hulu, or DVR - then record it, catch up on it after you finish your workout. Remember the TV Isn't going to give you the goals you want. PLUS a lot of people mindlessly graze while watching TV. Making it harder to reach your goal and putting you further from it.
OR
2. If you insist on watching TV, then during your shows, use a resistance band for strength training, or walk in place. There are many exercises that you can do - push ups, jumping jacks, sit ups, etc. all while watching your shows.
OR
3. If you don't have a long stretch of time, you could break up your workout into shorter sessions. Some activity is better than none. We find time for things we value. Don't you value your health and longevity?
