Y
ou want to exercise. You know
it’s good for you. And you feel
better when you do it.
So what’s getting in the way?
Maybe dozens of things. Life
happens. But other times, excuses
are…well, just excuses.
Here are some common thoughts
that derail good exercise intentions,
and tips for what to do about them.
“I’m too tired.”
Consistent exercise actually
boosts your energy. But if you wait
until you’re too pooped to pump, it
might not happen at all. So schedule
your workout for a time of day when
you have some get-up-and-go.
“I don’t have time.”
Schedule exercise just like any
other priority.
Keep your walking shoes at your
desk and head out for a brisk stroll
during lunch or breaks.
Pack your gym bag the night
before.
Break exercise into 10-minute
chunks if you need to.
“It’s too wet/cold/hot.”
Come up with an indoor routine
you can do when the weather doesn’t
cooperate. Climbing stairs, jumping
rope, walking in a mall or swimming
indoors are all possibilities.

“Who cares? Why bother?”
Oh, that negative inner voice. It zaps
con dence and destroys motivation.

steps. Give yourself credit for a job well
done!
