I was honored to be asked by Certified Personal Organizer®, D. Allison Lee, to do a guest blog piece on her website on “How to Make Time for Exercise”. After some self-doubt on my own organization, I knew that I had mastered making time for exercise – even as a busy Mom of 2 active kid’s.
I invite you to check out the blog post – CLICK HERE – although I’ll offer in quick summary, my suggestions on how, as little as 20 minutes a day, can supercharge your day, kick start your metabolism and set the stage for your new physical transformation:
- Schedule your workouts and COMMIT! No excuse.
- Is that at 5:00 AM? For me it is!
- Is it during your lunch break? Remember, only takes 20 minutes!
- Is it before you go home after work? Hit the gym before you head home, as once you get home, your likelihood of getting motivation to exercise goes down by 40%!
- Make them fun. Be creative.
- Switch up your workouts regularly.
- Continue to challenge yourself and get the most out of your results.
- Try something new.
- New walk/run route.
- New at-home workout program
- New fitness challenge.
- New Wii Fit game.
- New group fitness class.
- Get a buddy.
- Working out with a friend often offers more motivation and accountability. Two key elements in sticking to your commitment.
Moral of the story, make fitness a part of your daily “TO-DO” list. It’s just something as part of your day, just like eating breakfast, brushing your teeth and calling your Mom. DON’T FORGET. No excuses.
Your partner in health & fitness.
