You don't have time?

Most of us want to make our health a priority yet one of the most common reasons people don't exercise is no time.

Here’s a little secret: you don’t find time- you make time!

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. -M. Scott Peck

You only get one shot at life and as time goes by, days go by, and years go by you do not get them back. That’s it, one opportunity to make the best out of your given time. Are you are setting time aside for yourself or are you wasting it doing something else? 

Like maybe….wasting time coming up with excuses? Isn't it amazing how much time we have to rationalize and create excuses for ourselves? 

Here’s the deal. There are 168 hours in a week--every single person has the same amount of time. What makes the difference is how you use that time. Who we are and who we become is a direct result of what we are doing with these hours. How do you think someone who is fit, healthy and happy chooses to use their time? 

Think of time being equal to life. Replace the word, “Time” with the word “life” from now on. When you don’t have enough time, you don’t have enough life to get in shape and reach your potential physically and mentally. Time = Life. 

What do you want in your life? 

If it is to be fit, healthy and strong then make the time. Or decide that your life is not worth it.

How can you make time? 

Well, let’s figure this out. Sleep takes ideally 8 hours a day for a total of 56 hours. Work takes 8 to 10 hours a day plus a possible hour commute each way which is much less likely these days for a total of up to 60 hours. You have to eat so we’ll give meals two hours a day for a total of 14 hours. The grand total is 130 hours out of the 168. That leaves you 38 hours to use however you choose.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.  -C. S. Lewis

Too many of us choose to use all of our spare time sitting on our butts watching TV. Is it a coincidence that statistics Pre-Covid, showed that the average American watches almost 38 hours of television a week and the average American is overweight--do you think watching almost 38 hours of TV a week and being overweight are related? 

Post-COVID I imagine these television hours have gone up which means as a society our health and fitness is heading in the wrong the direction, the exact opposite of what we need to survive this Covid-19 Pandemic. 

When it comes to changing your body, it doesn’t take as much time as you may think to get results. In fact, what you learn at Results is less is more. The key to changing your body is consistently working toward your goal every single day, week after week. 

Can you set aside an hour 3-6 times a week for exercise? 

Not having time is no longer an excuse. Make time to accomplish what you want in your life. Why not go through life feeling fit, confident, and strong?  You will never get back lost time. Life is too short to not feel your best every single day. Stop making excuses. 

Simply ask yourself, “Is this the best use of my time right now to get me closer to my goal of who I want to become?” 

Take the time to plan out your day and make yourself a priority. You’re worth it and you have the time! Really!
