Someone Who Is Busier Than You Is Exercising Right Now

By Gen Wright

Most people would like to live in a lean, strong, fit, firm, healthy, energetic body. But what separates those who stick to their fitness program and those that call it quits after a few weeks or months? You may think it is lack of motivation or just plain laziness, but this is not so.

It is your state of mind and your attitude that determines whether you will make your exercise program a habit or drop out until you become tired of the way you look and feel again. It is also your reasons for getting strong and fit that if they are the right ones will help you to hang in there long term.

People committed to their exercise regime tend to have one major thing in common; they know the true value of fitness. To them exercise and fitness isn't just about looking good in a bikini or losing weight for the class reunion. They understand the health benefits and enjoy how exercise makes them feel better physically, emotionally and mentally.

So how do you get to this place from where you are now?

Make fitness a priority - Everybody is busy and everyone has career and family obligations and the number one reason why people do not exercise is because they say they don't have time. Yet someone who is busier than you is exercising right now. "I don't have time to exercise" is not something you will ever hear from an active and fit person. These people make time for exercise.

There are all these people right around the world who manage to find the time to get fit because they make it a priority. If you believe you don't have time then you won't have time. The key to finding the time is to put it at the top of your list and then say it is not optional. You will do it, need to do it, must do it. And yes, it is really that easy.

Indeed, these people often hold their exercise time sacred and will always figure out a way to meet their other commitments. They also will still meet their health, diet and fitness needs. The truth is that most people have far more time available in their day than they think. You can bet they will still find time to watch their favorite television program.

A proper exercise program that contains strength training exercise is so efficient and does not need much time. Just 2-3 hour long sessions each week would do the job. Most people easily have that small amount of time available to them; they just choose to use it differently.

Strong and fit people, on the other hand, make their exercise program a priority in their lives. They make a choice to watch an hour less of television some evenings in order to take care of their body and health.

And with all of the studies that show the tremendous benefits to ones health and wellbeing, it is clear that more people should follow their lead and make it a priority as well.
