Workout at Essential Fitness

You actually do have time to work out!

“I don’t have time to workout!” is another excuse we hear all the time. Let’s face it, we are all over-scheduled and feel we need more hours in the day to get everything done. But the truth oF the matter is YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. No one is magically going to wave a wand and grant you an extra hour in a day– it is solely up to you how you prioritize your schedule.

Women will literally lose years and decades of health and fitness hiding behind this excuse of not having time. But we each get the same amount of hours every day, and how you use your time reflects your priorities. So, it actually becomes a priority issue, not a time issue.

When you wake up in the morning (or before you go to bed at night) if you chose 3 priorities that absolutely needed to be completed that day, what would they be?
Your workout needs to be one of those priorities.

YOU.

A PRIORITY.

Your health, wellness, fitness, strength, flexibility, endurance, stress relief, weight loss, and everything else that comes with it. This needs to be in your top three every day or it simply won’t get done. Plus, as you know, the priorities need to be completed at the beginning of the day, not at the end of the day.

For instance, if you had a special project due at work, would you wait until 4:30 pm to start working on it? No, of course not. The same goes for fitness. Your energy wanes during the day, so why would you put off something that requires energy until 6:00 or 7:00 at night?

Is your health and fitness a priority? You know it should be, but if it’s not, let me leave you with another thought. If you look ahead ten years, will it really matter if you worked at your job yet another hour every day or cleaned your house more??? No, of course not.

On the other hand, ten years from now, how would you look and how would you feel if you devoted that one hour a day to sweating, stretching, running, lifting and developing you and your body? Your health is not an infinite thing. If you don’t take care of it, it will not always be there for you, and I guarantee that it will decline.

So, do your current and future self a favor today and start making YOU a top 3 priority.
Write it down, every day, in your “Top 3 things”, and stop using time as an excuse.

Stop The Hesitation!

Hesitation is one of our greatest obstacles. Many people who have health and fitness goals let hesitation get the better of them for years before doing anything about it. I find that this is one of the greatest roadblocks we face when trying to help a potential client change her life.

The fact is, many potential clients have often been putting off making a change for a very long time, and as Mel Robbins (author of “The 5 Second Rule”) is so adept at explaining, any hesitation is long enough for our brains to kick in and actually MAGNIFY the potential risks of making a change.

This is because our brains are wired to prevent us from doing uncomfortable and challenging things. And when you hesitate, your brain will actually start working against you – helping you to imagine greater potential loss, magnifying the difficulty of changing your life, and remembering the fear of failing again. Very often, in the end, these habits of hesitation essentially kill the excitement to change, to grow, and to reach your goals.

Just think about it, your day is made up of thousands of decisions, and so often, you make those decisions based on how you feel at that moment. You might have had big plans to work out at lunch and then eat a salad, but the morning was tough, so instead, you skipped the workout and went out for a burger with friends. It’s true that if you delay long enough, you can always put off doing difficult things. Difficult things like working out and sweating, running 3 miles, and saying no to dessert…. these can feel like hard things, but it seems like the longer you think about it, the harder they seem to become. You rationalize to yourself saying… I’ll do it later, I’ll start tomorrow, it doesn’t matter.

But we are here to remind you that it does matter! If you do truly want to change your life, lose weight, and take control of your health, STOP HESITATING. Stop overthinking the potential difficulty and start moving!

I highly recommend Mel’s book if you are struggling with this, and as a result, you are watching the months and years go by without taking charge of your fitness. If you want something more for yourself, find a place to help you reach your goals and jump in! Fully commit to yourself and your health and don’t hesitate – you will never regret starting TODAY.
