Too Busy for Exercise!

In today’s fast paced society, it seems we find ourselves "Too Busy for Exercise" because we are taking care of everything and everyone except ourselves. Many of our professions require 40 plus hours per week. So, the one thing that seems to suffer is our exercise time. (You do have an exercise time, right?) This time is easy to give up, because it is not the most pleasant or convenient activity we do. But it is by far the most effective thing we can do to keep healthy and perform the activities, we find pleasurable.

It is amazing to know that 67% of Americans do not get regular exercise because they think they are "too busy for exercise", and our children are falling into the same trend as their obesity rates continue to rise. We must find a way to schedule regular exercise into our daily schedule.

The following list will help you make exercise a part of your daily routine.

1. Make an appointment with yourself (and stick with it).

2. Set weekly and monthly fitness goals.

3. Keep a daily exercise journal.

4. Join a group exercise class.

5. Exercise with a friend.

6. Join a local recreation league that meets weekly.

7. Walk or jump rope, while your kids perform their activities.

8. Don’t give up if you miss one workout.

9. Reward yourself for accomplishment.

10. Best of all, hire a personal trainer.
