I Don’t Have Time

“I don’t have time!” Not only do I hear that for just about everything in life, but I also hear it especially in regards to working out.  Well, in the words of my grandfather, “you’ve got time for what you want to have time for”.  And it’s true.  I work full time, am a reservist in the military, run a side business, married, have a 3 year old, and run my fitness blog, and get the gym in almost every day. I know about being busy.

Yes when you are busy it makes things sometimes hectic and crazy.  There’s some days when I am exhausted, and in all honesty I look forward to those rare weekends that aren’t jammed pack and scheduled 2 months in advance.  But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You’ve got to make the time. I know. I know, it’s hard. Do it anyway.  If I counted how many days a year I had time or felt like working out it would be very few and far between.  But I make it a priority.

Time management is key here, and yes you may have to give up something.  Like your 2 hours of netflix and chill every night.  Like your having to be planted on your couch for the next episode of whatever tv show is popular right now.  It takes sacrificing, but a year down the road are you going to be more glad that you gave up a tv show and got in shape, or that you saw every episode without fail of your show?  Which is going to matter when you are 80 years old? I mean really.

Time management is key.  If you can’t get to the gym at night, then start going to bed earlier (that’s right earlier) and get up and go to the gym early.  I’m in bed by 10 every night, sometimes earlier.  It’s so important to be in bed early so you can be up early.

So let’s stop with the excuses, make the time and get in the gym.
