Making Time to Exercise

The biggest problem that faces literally anybody when they want to get in shape, is making time to exercise.  That can be difficult depending upon just how busy your life might be.  But there are plenty of things that you can actually do.  Here are a few that can really help if you’re serious about getting in shape!

Stop making excuses.  Whether you’re tired, you’re hungry, or you just don’t feel like it, stop lying to yourself.  If you don’t exercise, you’re never going to get fit.  The time is now for you to stop lying to yourself, and get up off the couch.

Wake up earlier.  If you just don’t have time to exercise, then you need to make time.  Readjust your schedule so that you can wake up 20 minutes earlier.  That gives you plenty of time for a quick run, cardio routine, or even just some Yoga time.  All of the above will do the trick.


Cut down on your television time.  The average family is watching 2 hours + of television a night.  If you just cut back on that slightly, you’ll have all the time that you need to get a workout in, and then some.

Exercise with the family.  If you find that it’s hard to get time away from the kids, then take them with you.  Go to the park, or go for a walk.  Anything that gets you active, plus it’s healthy for the little ones as well.

Keep a workout schedule.  Sometimes people don’t workout because time gets away from them.  But if you set a schedule then you can be sure that you always make the time for yourself.  Just have the commitment to stop what you’re doing, and work out!

Divide your workouts into mini-workouts.  They may not be as effective as a longer session.  However, it’s better to do something than to do nothing.  20 minutes here and there, or even 10 is better than no minutes.

Make working out a priority.  This sounds simple, but you would be amazed by how many people just don’t prioritize working out.  If you really want to get in shape, and be and feel healthy, then you need to commit.  If you don’t commit to working out, then you’re never going to get anywhere.  So make working out a priority, and one of the main things you make time for.  Then adjust the rest of your leisure activities around this really important one.
