Excuses

"Excuses are tools of the incompetent that build monuments of nothingness & those who specialize in them seldom do anything else." (Thomas J. Smith)


In the Personal Training  profession, we've heard every excuse in the book when it comes to not exercising & eating healthy.   Translation of those excuses:  "My health isn't important to me." At least that's how we hear it.  We all make time for things that are important to us, but why is it when it comes to doing something that will better "your" health there's a list of reasons why you don't have time? Don't get me wrong, I understand the day to day task of life can be very draining....family, kids, work, meetings, etc. But there's 24hours in a day & 168hours in a week.  So you don't have time to exercise for 1 hour or even 30 minutes? Especially when your health is on a constant downward spiral...... 


Benefits of exercising:
*Exercising consistently will help maintain Fat loss
*Boost energy
*Combats health conditions & diseases
*Improves your mood

Don't know where to begin? Try this quick workout in the privacy of your own home or gym.*** Do each exercise for 1 minute then move on to the next one.  Continue until all are complete then repeat 3x.

Full Body workout:
*Push-ups 
*Body Squats  
*Walking Lunges
