So last week I took a totally unscientific little poll asking people what their biggest challenge was when it comes to exercising regularly. The results were pretty much what I expected them to be.
The number one reason people gave was that they just don’t have the time to exercise consistently. That had about twice the votes of the number two response, which was “I hate the gym”. That was actually tied for second with the honest “I’m just too lazy.”
I really didn’t need to take a poll to know that time would be the top excuse for not exercising. It always is. Between kids, spouses, jobs, school, shopping, cooking, cleaning, and watching The Bachelor, most people have a ready-made excuse to not work out.
Until now. I hate excuses, so I created a solution to the problem of not having enough time to work out.
You see, people who say they don’t have time to exercise are assuming it will take them an hour or more to work out. Add in a 20 minute drive each way to the gym, and you’re thinking exercise is close to a two hour commitment. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I rarely, if ever, work out for an hour. In fact, most of my workouts are about 20 minutes long. Sometimes 30, but that’s if I’m really going crazy.
The truth is, if you know the right exercises to do, you can easily get a great, full-body workout done in 20 minutes. And you don’t need to drive to the gym. With some dumbbells and a stability ball, you can get a kickass workout done right at home.

So, if you think you’re too busy to exercise, 20 Minute Workouts might be the perfect solution for you.
