How long did you spend looking for something to watch on tv last night? How much time will you spend on Facebook, or using Twitter today? Fifteen, twenty...thirty minutes or more? Think how quickly and easily you can waste that amount of time. The truth is, almost everyone has at least a little time in their week to exercise. It's the motivation, and sometimes the energy (which will be increased by exercise!), that are lacking. Sooo...before the words, "I don't have time to exercise" leave your mouth, take a minute first to evaluate your schedule. Be INTENTIONAL about your health, and pencil in 3, 20-30 minutes segments in your week for some kind of exercise. Make it a priority. Make it part of your schedule, so it won't be replaced by something else; because believe me, it will! As a mother of 3 young children, there is ALWAYS plenty of things on my "to-do" list, and it never seems to end. I have to choose to put some of those things aside for a few minutes 4 times a week, and make my health, and the example to my children, a priority.
Everyone can desire to be healthier, but it is not going to happen, unless you MAKE it happen. Otherwise, phone calls, laundry, internet browsing, e-mail checking, and time-wasting is going to take the place of your health.
The question is not, 'do you have enough time to exercise?', the question is...'are you going to make time to exercise?' Well, are you?
