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.
