How Do You Find The Time To Get Fit
Anyone that's a personal trainer, or a health expert, has heard this excuse time and time again: "I just don't have time to work out." or "I can't find the time to shop at the grocery store for the healthy stuff."
First of all, neither working out or shopping should take very long. Shopping especially! Heck, you have to eat, right? Why not time a little bit of time NOW to learn about healthy foods, then take 1 hour a week and go shop for this stuff? That way, you'll have it at home at your finger tips, ready to be consumed by you and your family.
I don't know about you, but doing the shopping thing, at least to me, is WAY more pleasurable that stopping at a greasy spoon drive through on your way home in the evenings. AND, believe it or not, it's a lot more inexpensive as well.
As far as working out goes, you really only need 1/2 hour to 1 hour a day to get yourself in shape. Will you be able to go our and run a marathon with one hour a day training? Probably not (although I'm sure there have been folks that did it). But unless that's your goal….so what.
I'll admit, for some, finding that 1 hour a day may be a bit of a challenge, but for those of you that watch tv, the 1 hour a day is not big deal. Heck, even if you go out walking for an hour that's an awesome workout!
Yes, I can hear it now, "Andrew, that TV time is MY time! It's for me to relax and unwind from the day." I have no issues with that, if that's what you want to do. I say go for it and do it often. BUT, and this can turn into a huge BUTT (get the play on word spelling there?), don't EVER complain to me about not being healthy or in shape if watching TV is your excuse for getting there!
OK, I'll get off my soap box now.

Andrew,
It amazes both my wife and myself that people (especially the ones who obviously need it) can't find the time nor the will to change their life style habits. There is nothing more sacred than the well being of one's body.
Here's your soap box!
