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.

P.S. We will be closed June 28th, 29th, and 30th for 4 days of learning at the Perform Better Functional Training Summit in Chicago, which we are sure to bring back many great new ideas for your workouts.   Make sure to pick up your copy of the workouts that we've put together for you in our Defined Fitness In-Box at the front desk.
