I got an e-mail from Seeds of Success earlier on today and I came across an article entitled “7 Ways to Find Time for Fitness” written by Bill Phillips. The contents were so empowering that I wanted to share it with all my readers. I will split this post into two because of its length. Enjoy the first post of the 7 Ways to Find Time for Fitness. Here it is below.
The reason it's so hard to get, and stay, in great shape is because we are all just so incredibly busy. We've got work, friends, family, etc., etc. Every single day there is so much to do -- so much going on! Obviously, those who are successful at transforming their health and maintaining good physical fitness have a lot less going on in their lives than we do, right?
Well, as much as we might like to believe a lack of time is what's preventing us from building a lean, strong, healthy, body, the truth is, that isn't the case. Believe it or not, people who are successful (and I mean remarkably successful in this endeavor) have exactly 24 hours in every day, just like you and I do.
Yes…I know…sometimes it's hard to believe, but it's a fact -- there's not a single person on the planet who has figured out how to make a day longer than 1,440 minutes. And, in reality, folks who experience extraordinary success in the area of health and fitness are usually just as busy as we are -- their lives are hectic; they have careers, families, friends, and obligations; and unexpected obstacles and problems pop up in their lives as well.
So why does it so often feel like we don't have time to eat right and exercise? I've been forced to ponder that query often because it is by far and away the most popular excuse given for why so many people "can't" make a commitment to building a better body.
So what's the answer? Well, some say "not having enough time to exercise" is simply a cop out for people who are lazy and don't really want to look or feel better. But, after having the opportunity to work with thousands of people over the years who really want to get in great shape and are some of the hardest working people I've ever met; I don't think "laziness" is the primary culprit here. I've discovered most people simply don't understand how to "create time," and, therefore, they've bought into the "perception" that they are too busy. (Remember, perception can become reality) Most people just don't understand how possible it is to find the time to invest in building a healthy, energized body.
The great news is, we all have time to make regular exercise and good nutrition part of our lifestyles. Here's seven surefire techniques you can use (starting today!) to find time to get in, and stay in, great shape. These relatively simple (but so overlooked) tips for finding loads of time you didn't even know you had will allow you to fit in workouts on a regular basis, follow a precise nutrition program, and even free up time for active rest and more fun, which is good for the body and mind!
Before we get to the list, I want to remind you that to build a healthy body, you really don't need more than four hours of exercise a week. Think about it -- that's only 2.3% of the time you have to work with each week! That's not a huge investment of time by any stretch of the imagination! And, those who think following a proper nutrition program is time consuming have got it all wrong -- the fact is, "Eating right" doesn't cost you time, it saves you time!
The second part follows in the next post.
