love life
with Melinda Bingley, MAB Personal Training & Adventures
I am busy and don’t have time to exercise It’s the biggest excuse of all and most of the time it is just an excuse. People are not willing to make the time because they don’t have a big enough why, so most importantly: 1. Be clear of your why - what are you goals? 2. Remind yourself of the benefits of being active
a. Clears your mind
b. Gives you more energy
c. Decreases stress (which is high in business)
d. Improves positive attitude
e. Creates happy mindset
3. Plan your week and lock it in your diary. If you have an appointment locked in with a client, you will keep it, so if you have an appointment locked in with gym, friend or with a trainer you will keep it. Get help with creating a habit, remember if it was easy everyone would be doing. It just takes time to create the habit and you won’t even think twice about it, like brushing your teeth, why do you do that? For prevention and healthy choice, ask why do you want to be active every day, it will help! 4. 10 minutes is better than no minutes. Just start small to create a habit. Pick two exercises, for example, do one minute of squats, one minute of pushups or run one minute, walk one minute five times - that’s 10 minutes! 5. Make it fun. If you enjoy it, you will keep doing it, so find your fun. 6. Think where can you add more movement with what you’re already doing for example, can you take the stairs at work? Can you park the car further away, can you do squats when you go to toilet breaks, can you ride your bike to work? Truly I find the biggest way to overcome the no time excuse is to face it and make the time because one day you will have no time to do the things you want to do, so do it now, as being active is a healthy choice so you can live a happy, healthy, active, adventurous balanced lifestyle, and that my friends is a big reason to create time now - so drop down give me 100 squats!
