HOW TO FIT IN WORK & EXERCISE?

So how to you do it! Work, run the house, look after the kids and still manage to fit in training? Well it all comes down to being organised but the real key is wanting it and making it a priority. As you know if you want anything badly enough you can make it happen, the same can be said for finding time to exercise.

The most common excuse for not exercising is lack of time! I find this amazing as the amount of time that some people sit around and watch telly these days, if they spend the same amount of time training they could be a professional athlete. I understand this isn’t the case for everyone, as there are many Mum’s out there who really do struggle to find time in the day.

What I’m suggesting is that you don’t try and think too big and even just aim for two 30 minute walks a week. If you are someone who does nothing, isn’t two walks better than nothing? Surely you can find 1 hour a week.

I’m sure there will still be people out there saying that they just can’t find the time, well that’s your choice and as long as your happy with it, that’s fine but don’t complain that you are feeling fat and frumpy unless you are prepared to do something about it. Yeah, that might be harsh but hey at the end of the day if you really want something you’ve got to make it happen.

It’s amazing when that motivation kicks in or that flick switches and you are suddenly ready to change. For some it might take a visit to the Doctor or an upcoming wedding but whatever your reason when you are ready there doesn’t seem to be anything that will stop you. I know as I’ve experienced it, strangely when I have reached some of my biggest goals they have been at times in my life where I am flat out, flying all over the world although still managed to train wherever and whenever I could and eat well. So I now know that there really are no excuses but rather times when you just really don’t want to put in the hard work!
