I’m busy. I don’t have time to get fit and healthy.
If this is you, you can make time in your life to eat well and to exercise regularly. In fact, when you get into the habit of exercise, you’ll find that you seem to have more time to do everything else, because you have so much more energy.
Initially, you’ll need to do some juggling to get your exercise sessions in. However, since the sessions will be brief, you’ll manage it. Once you’ve got your morning and exercises in, follow through on the rest of our list of "justs".
Just ten minutes
Start by finding ten minutes, morning and evening, in which you can either walk around the block, or walk on a treadmill. Mornings, the best time is just after you get out of bed. Leave your exercise clothes and shoes next to the bed, then get dressed and out the door before you have a chance to think about it – or anyone else has the time to stop you. Set your alarm for half an hour earlier.
In the evening, go for a walk as soon as you’ve had your supper. Or, take ten minutes from your lunch hour to go for a brisk walk.
Ten minutes (20 minutes over the course of a day) may not sound like much, but they’ll make a huge difference in your attitude and sense of well-being.
