Got time?

If you are reading this blog you are at least motivated enough to take an interest in fitness and healthy living but the question is how do you get motivated to get active and to stay active?


Consistency is key. No complaining. Everyone is busy. It is not an excuse. I hear it time and time again “I want to exercise but I have no time.” Maybe you think that celebrities and everyone else has it easier than you but if you are honest with yourself you will make the time to exercise. After all your health depends on it. I assume you are your #1 priority. So make the time. Just do it! Even though my days are always packed I know there are tons more people in the world busier than I am. They inspire me to slip on my sneakers and work out.
A fit person is committed to following their fitness plan no matter what life throws at them. They are not deterred when they have long work hours, children to take care of, or when holidays appear on the calendar.

Here are a few tips to make sure fitness is #1 in your life.

·         Try a shorter workout. If you only have 10 to 20 minutes give it all you got. Keep your workout short but jam packed. If you only have a little time don’t waste those moments. Commit to filling the time you do have with challenging moves. Your heart and your sassy physique will thank you.  

·         Break it up. You don’t have to complete 30 to 60 minutes at once. Maybe you do 10 min in the morning, 10 min mid day and finish with 10 min at night. You can focus on one section of the body at a time. For example the first 10 of the day could be committed to your upper body, 10 for your lower body, and 10 for your core (remember to do both the front and the back)

·         Limit your tv time. If you have time to watch Gossip Girl, then you have time to exercise. With the novelty of Tivo and DVR you don’t have the excuse! You can watch it later. You have time to hit the gym, run the trail and cook healthy.
