Not Enough Time to Exercise
By Linda Geyer
Lack of time is the most common excuse for avoiding exercise. As a personal fitness trainer, I hear it all the time, "I'd love to workout but I don't have time." My goal is to help you find the time or more importantly, make the time to exercise. There are too many benefits for your health and well being to make excuses not to exercise. The older you are, the more important exercise is to your overall well-being and health. Strength training has been proven to reduce the risk of falls, increases bone density, reduces the symptoms for arthritis, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity and back pain. Studies have show exercise to have a profound effect on a person's mental and emotional health. With all the benefits of exercise and if your health is a priority, you could find the time to exercise.
If you have time to watch television, you have time to exercise. These two activities can easily be combined. A television placed in front of your exercise bike or treadmill will help accomplish your cardio needs and make the time go by faster.
Be creative; break your workout program into two shorter sessions rather than one long session to fit more easily into your day. Many studies show that cardiovascular training for fat burning is best in the morning. Stop snoozing to your alarm clock and hit the cardio for 20 minutes in the morning. It's a great way to start your day. Save your strength training for the evening or after work. An effective strength training workout doesn't take more than 40 to 50 minutes.
If you're a parent, it's your responsibility to be a role model for your children. A healthy lifestyle and balance in life educates your children about values and priorities. Build fitness into your family's playtime. Activities, instead of allowing children to park themselves in front of the TV or computer all weekend, will serve your family's need for exercise.
