If we actually sit down and look at our calendars, we would be
amazed at how much more time we can find if we eliminate some
activities that are really not bringing us closer towards our
goals.
- Our top recommendation is to cut out television, limit yourself
to one good show a week, make it something you love! I know that
many of us can find free hours once we change this habit.
- Make the decision to go to bed earlier. If you are going to bed
at 11:30 p.m., make a commitment to start going to bed 15 minutes
earlier one week, then 20 and 30 and so on. This way you are more
rested in the morning and you can complete your awesome, killer
workout before you head to work! NOTE: to help you make this
commitment review your goals each night before you go to sleep to
remind yourself why you are doing this.
- Pack your workout gear in your car and go straight to the gym
after work! Remember, even if you can manage to fit in 20 minutes,
compounded over time, this could transform your life and your
health.
- Write down all things in your life that are keeping you busy.
Decide if they deserve that much of your time each day, decide
which things you can go without doing everyday.
- Keep an agenda, a schedule, something to organize your day and
keep you accountable! Remember scheduling your workout is just as
important ask scheduling meetings, doing the groceries or times
with your family.
- Remember, less is more, you do not need to try to fit in a 2
hour workout everyday!
- Buddy up! Believe it or not you're more likely to let yourself
down rather than a pal. Share your goals with each other and don't
let each other down!Home Work: decide how many times a week you can
honestly commit to exercising. If it stretches you to start with 3
days a week and you can't possibly see how you will fit it in,
start with 2. It's all about creating habits and starting
small.
Once you've been training 2 times a week for 3 weeks and you've
got that down, try adding another day. Over time, before you know
it you'll be consistent at training 3 times a week no problem (with
a few hiccups here and there!)
