Time for Exercise

Finding the time to exercise is tough. Choosing an exercise routine you hate makes it even harder.

Build your exercise routine around activities you will enjoy doing at least reasonably. A treadmill may be better for you than an exercise bike, or vice versa, if that’s what you find more enjoyable.

Similarly, pick your strength building routine based on what most interests you, yet will be reasonably effective. At the gym going through the machines as a routine works pretty well, but you can choose free weights, or as I do around the house, use the kids as weights. Giving a child a horsey ride is really great exercise, if not the best form.

The timing is very important. If you don’t schedule your exercise at a realistic time you aren’t likely to keep up with it. Maybe you prefer working out in the morning or maybe in the evening. It’s a matter of personal preference and you need to figure out when really works for you.
