Not Having Enough Time Is Only An Excuse

One of the biggest excuses we hear on a daily basis is, "I don't have time to exercise." The truth is nobody has time to exercise, everyone lives busy, hectic lives running from one place to the other and at the end of the day wondering where the day went.

The difference between those who do exercise and those who do not, is that the ones who exercise make time each day and make exercise a priority. After all the average American spends something like 3 hours a day watching TV and who knows how much more time on Facebook and Twitter. If you were to keep track of your time each day for a week, meaning you wrote down what you did for every minute of the day, you would probably find time to fit in at least a 20-30 minute workout 2-3 times per week.

Here's an example of a workout that we designed for a client who only has about 20-30 minutes, 3x per  week to commit to exercise.

Foam Roll
Dynamic Warm Up

Plank  2x, 60s

DB Squat & Press
DB RDL & Row
       3 sets of 8 reps with 60s rest in between each

Mountain Climber Finisher, 4x 20s work:40s rest

That workout only takes about 25 minutes and we've effectively hit the entire body, kicked up the metabolism and put the body into a fat burning mode.

Now stop saying you don't have time to exercise and go do it, you can check your Facebook page later.

If You Don't Like It, Because You Need It

Did you ever notice that the things you like are usually the things you are good at? The same is true in the gym. The exercises that members tend to like are the ones they are good at. However, the most disliked exercises are the most needed. Progress is not made from doing the same things you are good at over and over.

That is why we are always looking for exercises and workouts that will keep challenging your body even though it may feel uncomfortable and ackward.

Here are just a few examples,
- If you don't like burpees, it's a sign that you need to be doing them.
- If you don't like planks, it's because your core is weak.
- If you don't like deep squats, it's because you need the lower body range of motion and strength.
- If you don't like to sweat, it's because you need to.
- If you don't like too exercise, it's because you are deconditioned and need to be exercising.

So the next time you are in the middle of a workout and think to yourself, "Aw, I hate these (insert whichever exercise you dread the most)" Just remember that's a sign that you are doing exactly what you need to being.
