Excuses, Excuses

Have you ever noticed that most people will make excuses until they're blue in the face? Particularly when it comes to getting healthy. It's common knowledge that good nutrition along with regular exercise lead to a healthier more fulfilling life. So why is it so hard for people to get with the program? I'm guilty of this myself. What I'd like to share with you today are the three most common excuses you'll hear all around concerning this sensitive issue.

Excuse #1: I Don't Have Time.
I don't think it's a valid excuse. Everyone has the same amount of time. It's just a matter of taking the time you need to take care of you. You have to make yourself a priority instead of always putting everyone and everything before yourself. It doesn't even have to be lengthy. A 30 minute workout 3-4 times a week can still have worthy benefits.

Excuse #2: I Don't Have Money.
Who needs money to work out?? There are plenty of exercise routines out there that require nothing more than the weight and resistance of your own body. Many of them can be done well and effectively right there in or around your home.

Excuse #3: I Don't Know How.
There are tons of resources available to people. The Internet, for example, has a wealth of knowledge just waiting to be tapped into. There are sites that show exactly how to do certain exercised and exercise routines. These same sites almost always have nutritional guidelines to go along with that.

So as you can see excuses are there just to hinder you from becoming the healthy you that you deserve to be. You have to learn to overcome these obstacles and reach for your goals with vigor. The rewards will be so much more amazing than you can ever imagine. Let's get to it! Set those goals and stick with it. You can do it!
