Working out, get it in where it fits in!

The biggest complaint most people have about working out is time... "When can I  fit it into my already busy schedule?"

Many of the creative ways I've come up with over the last nine years are:
- doing various quick exercise movements during TV commercial breaks
- working out with YouTube videos while dinner was cooking or while my children were doing homework 
- getting up 30 minutes early to do cardio around the house before the kids got up to get ready for school
- walking around the track or field while my children were at their various sports practices 
- walking, jogging and eventually running during my lunch hour

Only in the last two years have I joined a gym, beginning the spring of 2015. I was determined not to join a gym in the beginning, because I wanted to prove it wasn't necessary in order to lose and maintain weight loss. It only became necessary later on when I had started setting some pretty specific goals and had gotten as far as I could using the free-weights at home.

When one of my friends started training with me, we eventually started going to the gym almost everyday for lunch. We're fortunate to have jobs where we can eat while we work so that we can take our lunch hour to go work out...


(Never miss Mondays - cardio day)

Get it in where it fits in, and make it count! It doesn't take hours... 30-45 minutes a day 3-4 days a week is more than enough time to get that heart rate up, blood flowing, sweat pouring and calories burning!
