Are you ready for a workout?
Sure, you're busy. It's tough to fit in a daily workout. But being prepared to exercise can make all the difference. Put workout clothes, socks and all, on top of the dresser. Stock the fridge with water bottles. Keep athletic shoes and socks in your car, so you can sneak in some laps during your child's practices or rehearsals or while you're waiting to meet a friend for dinner.
An appointment to exercise? You bet!
If you're having trouble finding time to exercise, pull out your planner. Schedule exercise as you would schedule an important meeting or appointment. Block off the time in your calendar, and stick to it. Setting aside time for a full workout is great, but shorter bursts of exercise count too.
