program.
In today's fast paced world, sometimes it can be
challenging to find the time to get to the gym to
workout. I am sure you have heard many people say,
"There just aren't enough hours in the day."
The number one excuse for not training on a regular basis
is not being able to find the time.
Ninety nine percent of all excuses are not valid! If you
are serious about getting in shape, if it is a top
priority, nothing will get in the way of you achieving
your goal. If you want something bad enough, it is
amazing what you will do to get it. Here are a few things
you can do to eliminate the "I don't have time"
excuse.
- Get up an hour
earlier, or stay up an hour later. Dedicate
this extra hour of time to training and achieving
your fitness goals. Fact: Most people spend more
time sleeping than they need to. Eight or nine
hours of sleep can be great, but by no means
necessary to maintain your health and let you
feel good.
Personally, I find it easier and more effective
to get up an hour earlier and train first thing
in the morning for two reasons. Training first
thing in the morning increases your metabolism
and keeps you burning calories at an increased
rate throughout the day. Another great reason to
train first thing is to eliminate the possibility
of procrastination and blowing off a workout. By
the end of the day, the last thing in the world
you want to do after a long day of work and
responsibility is workout. Getting your training
in first thing will also increase your energy
level and make you feel good about yourself. It
gives you a sense of accomplishment which will
help you tackle the rest of your day and insane
schedule with a smile.
I am sure that at least one "morning
person" reading this said to themselves,
"Get up an hour earlier, he must be out of
his mind!" Even if you get up half an hour
earlier, this equates to three and a half hours
of exercise time a week that you didn't have
before. With only investing a half hour a day,
you can get quick, noticeable results.
- Put together a home
exercise program for those days you just can't
get to the gym. For about $150.00, you can
buy some dumbbells, a bench, and a floor mat for
abdominal training. Although you can not get as
thorough a workout as you could in a health club
- it's better than nothing! Herschel Walker, a
pro football player, has one of the best
physiques around and he has never touched a
weight! His workout consists of push-ups,
sit-ups, and cardiovascular exercise. You can get
great results sticking to the basics. Remember,
consistency and intensity are your key
ingredients for success.
If
money is an issue and you can't afford to buy the
equipment mentioned above, all you need is a VCR. There
are hundreds of great video tapes designed for toning,
weight loss and fat burning. If you don't want to go to a
gym, this allows you to exercise in the privacy and
comfort of your own home.
All exercise video tapes are designed with music as a
background. Music is a powerful tool when it comes to
exercise. It lifts your spirits and increases your
enthusiasm. Music also takes your mind off the clock and
makes your workouts seem to go faster.
Exercise to music that you enjoy. If you like music from
the 50's, 60's and 70's, Richard Simmons "Sweating
To The Oldies", or Cory Everson's "Step In
Time" are great beginner level programs. If you like
martial arts and self defense, purchase a tae bo tape.
If you are in decent shape, semi-coordinated and like
today's dance music, you can choose from several of MTV's
"The Grind Workout Hip Hop Aerobics", Paula
Abdul's, "Get Up And Dance", Milo Levell's
"Hip Hop Body Shop", Kathy Smith's "Latin
Rhythm Workout", or Christy Lane's "Funky
Freestyle Dancing."
If you have two left feet like me, you will quickly be
able to master Denise Austin's Xtralite Beginner's
Aerobics.
All of these tapes and hundreds more are available for
sale at most music and major department stores. If you
want to check out a tape before you buy it, most of these
video tapes can also be rented at your local video store.
Incorporating these simple principles into your daily
routine will make it much easier for you to stick to the
program, improve your health, and move closer to your
fitness goals.
