Are You Serious About Working Out?

Are you serious about working out?  Do you wish you were working out but always feel like you can't find the time?   The time is there, no matter how creative you have to be, it is there.

When I first became a single mother, when my boys were 5 and 8, and I was on a mission to lose 60 more pounds, I couldn't go down to the gym any more in the morning because no one was there to be home while my kids were still sleeping.  My solution at that time was to borrow my sister's treadmill that she wasn't using and I set it up in my living room.  I would wake up before my kids got up, get the good music going on my ipod, and crank out 30-40 minutes of cardio.  It took a little creativity and flexibility to get a new system down, but it worked.  After I realized I could get the cardio done at home, I decided I could take my kids with me to my neighborhood gym and set them up in the small seating area next to the front desk where I could see them.  I would pack snacks and legos and other things to keep them busy.  I had my workout written out ahead of time.  My kids were within eyesight the entire time I was working out, and they knew they had to stay where they were while I worked out.  It wasn't optimal, but I made it work under the current circumstances!

Life is busy, so ask yourself if you think it's going to slow down anytime soon.  If the answer is "no", then you have to MAKE the time fit into your busy life, rather than waiting for life to slow down so you can "find" the time!

Fit fitness into your day!!!
