Time
"I don't have time to exercise." How many times have you heard that? How many times have you been the one saying that? Well do I have some good news for you. There is always time for some type of exercise. There's no golden rule saying that you must be in a gym and be there for at least an hour for it to be considered exercise. Most of us get an hour lunch break right? But it doesn't take that long to eat assuming you've packed a healthy lunch for the day. Use the extra time to do some light stretching. Sitting at a desk all day actually lets some of your muscles shorten and tighten up and they won't just magically go right back to normal when you stand up. You've got to stretch them back out. You can even get some benefit while you're driving. Research has shown that repeatedly tensing a muscle, letting it relax, tensing it again, etc. is almost as beneficial as strength training. Now you no longer have an excuse for not exercising at least a little each day!
