I often hear, “I just don’t have the time to work out!” However, if you stop and look at your day, I’m sure you can find 20 minutes here and there which you can easily add some form of activity to your day.
I know we are all busy. Between getting to and from work, balancing responsibilities and having time for yourself, there's little time left over for workouts.
Escape the lack of time reasoning with three easy steps:
Step One: Schedule Your Workouts: If you treat your exercise time with the same importance as a work meeting then you'd never skip a workout. So mark 3 to 4 dates in your calendar right now and commit to these as if they are important business meetings. But, DON’T start something you know you won’t or can’t commit to. This applies to the dates and times, but also to the activity itself. If you don’t like step aerobics, then DON’T sign up for it! Do an activity you enjoy, this will help you to commit to the plan.
Step Two: Get the Most from Each Minute: You don’t need to spend 2 hours at the Gym for an effective workout. A great workout can take place in under an hour, when done correctly. The idea is to burn more calories each minute. This is done through short, intense bursts of exercise.
To help make every minute count, use the following three tips:
1. Be Unstable: Use your entire body, and target your core, by performing exercises that engage your muscles to stabilize. You can do this with an exercise ball, a balance board or a balance disk.
2. Add Resistance: The more resistance that you incorporate with your routine translates into higher intensity and more calories burned. Some ideas for adding resistance include: carrying dumbbells while doing lunges or putting a weight between your feet while doing leg raises.
3. Use Intervals: Interval training is a tool for creating short and effective workouts. All this means is alternating between different short activities.
For example, if you’d like to focus on your legs and abdominal muscles, you can do the following:
• Lunge while curling dumbbells, 15-20 repetitions
• 30 seconds of intense cardio: sprint, jump rope, or jumping jacks
• Squat while pressing dumbbells overhead, 15-20 repetitions
• 30 seconds of intense cardio: sprint, jump rope, or jumping jacks
• Crunches on an exercise ball, 15-20 repetitions
• 30 seconds of intense cardio: sprint, jump rope, or jumping jacks
• Leg raises off the end of an exercise bench, 15-20 repetitions
Step Three: Get Better Results in Less Time: What if I told you that I have a proven way to deliver twice the fitness results in half the time? It's simple really...

As always, I’d like to end my blog post with a quote which I hope will inspire you to go for it: "Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you're ready or not, to put it into action." Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, Author
