“I don’t have time to exercise.”
“I’m too busy.”
“It takes too long to work out.”
Want some cheese with that whine?
Every day people tell me the reason they can’t exercise is because they simply don’t have time. That’s not a reason. That’s an excuse. Big difference.
Most of these people have time to watch Survivor or The Bachelor though. They also have time to keep up with the latest on Britney Spears. No wonder they don’t have time to exercise.
Guess what? Fit people are just as busy as you.
You can’t tell me you don’t have 15 minutes to get a workout in. Wait, don’t think you can work out in 15 minutes?
I just did.
I did a quick warmup of some arm circles, bodyweight squats, and pushups. Then I did a circuit of dumbbell lunges, incline dumbbell chest press, and 1-arm rows. I did the circuit 3 times and finished off with a set of ab wheels.
Worked hard, hit all the major muscle groups, used weights that challenged me to do 10 or so reps per set, and finished in 15 minutes.
Please stop telling me you don’t have time to work out. More importantly, stop telling yourself that you don’t have time to work out as you watch Survivor.
