When it Comes to Your Health, Don't Make Time Your Crutch

"Workout once a week and your heart
will say thank you."- Kurt

Time-

One of the biggest and probably the most outrageous excuses we can give ourselves is to excuse our apathetic position about health and fitness.

Often times we hear prospective health club members or individuals who are seeking to lose weight- as personal motivation or medical reasons- they all have one thing in common; the most frequent excuse that they have for not exercising is that they don't have the time. This blog is intended to dispel the myth of not having enough time to exercise.

I want to briefly share a true story with you about a person who desperately needed to address some serious health concerns. This individual was told by her physician that if she did not engage in 30 minutes of moderate exercise for at least two to three times a week she was exasperating her ways to deteriorate her health. Upon hearing this information, according to the physician, she responded: "Where will I find the time to do that?

There was another gentleman - an up-and-coming professional in his industry- because of his busy work schedule and the demands of his clients, over a period of two years he gained 40 lbs. Although his bank account was rising his health was falling. When confronted by his friends, family and colleagues, the ones who cared about him the most, his immediate response to the inquiry was: When will I find the time to workout?"

So for the sake of argument lets discuss a realistic circumstance that we all may come across.


Let's hypothetically say you are a working, single parent, with 4 children and a very demanding work schedule: Five days a week and average 10 hours a day. Is it feasible for this person to workout every single day of the week? The answer is probably not. But if we asked the question in a different way, is it possible for this person to workout for an hour and a half each week- the answer is probably, with some thought and planning, yes!

We find that the biggest misconception with the novice and intermediate exerciser is that they are too often associated with being asked to exercise with taking up a lot of time.

Truthfully, two hours a week, in most cases, would be sufficient to promote higher metabolic rate, cardiovascular strength, and a better outlook on health and fitness.

I guess the point is this: WE ALL SHOULD START SOMEWHERE.

No matter how busy your schedule may be we must never ignore the importance of proper dieting and exercise.

The time it took you to read this blog you could have already had your Heart Rate over 100 beats per minute.
