Living FIT






Have You Got Time NOT to Exercise ???





If your excuse is that you haven't got time to exercise, what exactly are you saying here? Will you have time in the future to deal with the growing list of medical conditions that exercise is known to prevent? Can you take the time to recover from your heart bypass operation or the pain associated with your stiff back, hips or knees? If you don't exercise you are making a decision to compromise the quality of your life now and in the future. So don't say you haven't got time. You just haven't MADE the time - yet.

Fact : if you want to lose the fat on your body, you have to make the necessary changes to shift your metabolism into fat-burning mode. Very-low-calorie diets, missing meals, leaving long gaps between meals (we're ALL guilty of the afore mentioned), detox regimes, foods containing refined sugar - all encourage your body to store fat. The only way to reverse this is to eat healthy food at regular intervals during the day and incorporate some sort of physical activity into your life. 'Bor-r-r-ing!!!' NO - it doesn't have to be. It is a matter of deciding what is important to you and what you are prepared to do to achieve it.

Find some sort of activity that you can do (and might even enjoy) on a regular basis and make the commitment to do it. If you intend to exercise during the day, schedule it in your diary. Once it is written down you won't be tempted to make other appointments at that time, so giving yourself a convenient excuse not to do it. Everyone - no matter how busy their schedule might be - can find three, half hour chunks of time during the week, if they want to. YES - only HALF AN HOUR, at the least, only THREE times a week (that's only 1.5 hours a week, for those who are mathematically challenged like me).
