Will you find the time for a workout today, or will the busyness of the day leave you exhausted on the couch? Frankly, most people don't have reasons. They have excuses.If you are like most then exercise doesn't top your list of favorite things either. Who wouldn't rather be immersed in a piece of chocolate cake, enjoying their favorite TV show or dining out with friends instead of sweating in the gym?
It's a no brainer - right?
But the fact is that our favorite things are often those that expand our waist lines, and by now we all know that larger waist lines mean an increase in a plethora of health problems, not to mention an overall decrease in your quality of life. And we would all love to have flat abs and a tone physique in time for summer...right?
Hmmm, so maybe exercise isn't such a bad idea after all...It's just that you hate to exercise.
It may be time to change your attitude toward exercise. If you go into it telling yourself how much you hate it and how you wish that you were doing something else instead, chances are you won't enjoy it. I don't know about you, but I don't often do things I don't enjoy. It is time to open your mind to the possibility that you can enjoy exercise. In fact, when done correctly, exercise is an enjoyable experience.
Take a minute to ponder the following:
- Have you written off exercise based on a particular type of routine – maybe you would enjoy something different. The truth is that no one can deny how great it feels to accomplish a challenging workout. It's rewarding, invigorating and feels great. You simply need to find the right form of exercise for you.
- Try to pinpoint the main reason that you dislike exercise. Is it the uncomfortable workout clothes that you own? Maybe it is time for a new style. Is it trying to decide what machine to use at the gym? Maybe it is time for a personal trainer (more on that later). Is it the pain that you feel in your shoulder when swimming? Maybe it is time to find a new form of cardiovascular exercise - one that won't aggravate your injury.
Like I said, when it comes to exercise you have tons of options. But it all starts with ditching the excuses and asking a qualified fitness expert like me for the right program for you.
Is it really that easy? Yes.

Oh I have a closet full of excuses - exercise is definitely not my favorite thing to do -- but I do try. I was up to 30 mins five times a week on the station bike - but slacked off and haven't done anything for about week. Someone whip me with the wet noodles!!!
Hi, well be sensible, well-all described
