Getting in shape fast - Just get started

Whine #1: "I just don't have enough time to exercise..."

Lack of time is the most common excuse people use to avoid exercise. I did it just yesterday! ON A DANG Sunday! Who doesn't have a few extra minutes on their day off?

Another excuse is: "I don't see enough of my kids as it is, I just can't take even more time away from them to exercise." The fact is that all of us are busy to the breaking point, including the President and his cabinet. But it is common knowledge that the President takes time out each day to exercise and he expects the members of his cabinet to do the same. We recognize that your complaints about lack of time are completely legitimate and you don't have the White House staff at your disposal to take care of your daily needs. So here are two suggestions to keep in mind:

Contrary to popular belief, exercise does not have to be continuous to count. If you can grab 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there throughout the day, it all adds up and is equivalent to the same amount of continuous exercise in terms of its beneficial effects on your weight and health.

Chances are - if you have children, they need to get more exercise too. So plan to exercise along with your children as often as possible. Run along while they ride their bikes. Or ride your along side them! You'll love the time you get to enjoy with your loved ones and everyone benefits.

"I'm just too tired to exercise." I used this one in the last few days too! Well gee - dumb ass - how are you ( speaking to myself here... I don't mean - you! ) ever going to increase or enhance your energy levels without getting off that over sized ass you spend so much time seated on and get out and get some exercise?

Many people complain that they are too tired to exercise. Blah, blah, blah..... It is indeed exhausting just to think about the hectic lives that most of us lead. All that we can say in response is that exercise is actually energizing. It adds to your sense of vitality and brightens your outlook. It reduces stress and helps you focus. It will also improve your mood since exercise has been shown to have an anti-depressant effect. Using exercise to elevate your mood will help you avoid all of the side effects and expense of anti-depressant medications, many of which cause weight gain.

Let go of the excuses. Put them to rest. Just get started! Getting in shape fast is still a real possibility for many of us. If you're like me you might need a few extra weeks to lose that beer belly before June. What the heck? July and August are still ideal for spending time at the beach!
