Finding the time for exercise

Our bodies were designed to move throughout the day.  Most people today face a lifestyle that does not allow them to move as much as we should.  Sitting at computers all day, driving in our cars to and from work limits our ability to get adequate exercise.  Two of the biggest challenges people find are time limitations and motivation. Many people’s lives are overbooked and out of balance.  Time has become a commodity.  In order to get more time, you have to be willing to give something up.  Revisiting priorities and life values can help to assess where exercise fits in your daily schedule.  Making room for regular movement needs to be at the top of our list.  Without regular exercise, energy levels and overall health can be compromised.  The recommended 30 minutes a day of exercise can be achieved.  Walking briskly, a 30 minute resistance workout, interval training, 30 minute run all can provide the basic benefits required from incorporating active living into your life.  Research shows that you can even split your exercise session into two 15 minute blocks and still receive the benefits that a 30 minute workout would give to you.
