If you're like
most people, finding time for exercise is difficult. Here are
my "top 10" tips to help you in that quest..
1. Make exercise a priority. We all make time in our lives for
the things that are most important to us. If I told you I'd
give you a million dollars if you exercised every day for the
next 30 days, would you do it? Sure you would, because it
would suddenly become a priority. If you're serious about
finding time for exercise, then it must be a priority in your
life.
2. Block out the same time period every day for exercise. This
way it becomes part of your daily routine just like brushing
your teeth. Vehemently guard this time period. It is your time
to take care of yourself.
3. Exercise first thing in the morning. This is when your
exercise time is least likely to get interrupted by other
things.
4. Turn off the television. The average adult spends 16 hours
per week watching television. One of my clients told me that
she resolved to only watch television while she was
exercising. You may not be interested in taking it that far
but you can certainly cut out a few hours of television a week
to make time for exercise.
5. Wake up earlier in the morning to exercise.
6. Spend 30 minutes or so exercising on your lunch break.
7. Get a book rack for your stair climber or treadmill and
spend some of your reading time exercising.
8. Visit with your spouse or friend while walking around the
neighborhood rather than sitting on the couch.
9. Take a couple of days to write down how you spend your time
every day, then determine how you can better use your time to
fit in exercise.
10. Make your exercise as enjoyable as possible. You will be
much more likely to find time for things you enjoy.
