In my health consulting business, I get the opportunity to talk

with people from all walks of life about their health, fitness,

and weight loss goals. Whether their goal is to lose weight,

gain muscle, stick to a diet plan or program, improve their

cardiovascular health, or simply to maintain their current fitness

level they all have one common enemy. TIME.

For most of us, the #1 challenge in the quest to stay in shape /

or lose weight is not exercising itself but being able to actually

fit an exercise program into our busy schedules. So how do you

do it? How do you balance the demands of family, career,

important errands, relationships, organizational responsibilities,

and working out?

I have found that there are five keys that will

help you to be able to fit a consistent workout plan into your

already hectic life. Commit to a specific schedule.

1. When you fail to plan you plan to fail.

Don't try to haphazardly fit your workouts into your schedule

without any rhyme or reason. Don't think you're guilty? If

you've ever told yourself "I'll workout as soon as I get some

time", you were in direct violation of this key principle.

In order to set yourself up for success, you will need to take the

time to literally write your workouts into your weekly schedule.

In order to be effective, you will want to be following your

exercise program at least 3 days per week. Anything less would

be kidding yourself. Therefore, right in the midst of all of your

appointments, "to-do" lists, etc., should be a written plan for

your weekly workout routine, so that you will never be in the

dark as to when you committed to yourself to go. Utilize the

weekend. Take advantage of the fact that it only takes 3-5 days

per week to put together an effective, results-producing workout.

2. Workout on the weekends.

One of the benefits to this course of action is that your

schedule is more flexible and under your control during this

time. What it also means is that when the hectic weekdays

roll back around, you will only be responsible for working out

1-3 days during the work week. Keep your workouts as a high

priority One of the biggest mistakes that even many people

who have scheduled a workout program into their schedule

make is allowing it to be bumped off of their schedule too

easily.

Although things will occasionally come up that will cause

you to have to reschedule the workout you had planned, you

must be vigilant in making sure that only the most important

emergencies are allowed to temporarily take you off of your

plan.

In the event that one of those important emergencies does

happen and you can't make it to your workout, reschedule

with yourself to make it up on the next possible day that you

are available to do so. If your own health, 􀁽tness, and efforts

to lose weight are not a priority to you, they certainly won't be

so to anyone else.

3. Enroll others in your goals

Don't go at this alone. Let the important people in your life

know what you are up to. Your spouse or love interest, parents,

children, co-workers, and close friends will often pitch in and

help you to meet your fitness or weight loss commitment to

yourself if you make them aware and ask for their support.

Leverage these relationships to delegate some of your normal

responsibilities or even allow you to shift appointments that

you have with them as you restructure your schedule for your

workout. If any of them are into exercise or trying to lose

weight themselves, don't hesitate to form a buddy system

with them as you move forward with your program.

4. Don't beat yourself up

No matter who you are, there will be times in your workout

program that you just aren't able to keep it up as you would

like due to outside demands. Don't be too tough on yourself

when that happens.

5. Prepare yourself

During a busy lifestyle it is mostly the lack of energy that kept

clients away from exercise. I have this 90 Day Kickstart Plan

that will increase your energy levels without keeping you awake

all night. This supplements can be used as a pre-workout drink

to increase your endurance and energy levels to allow you to

get the most out of your exercise routine. This will help you

with the habit formation needed in order to be consistent

with your visits to the gym.

The 90 Day Fat Burning Kickstart Gameplan includes:

~ Supplements that will get rid of what is preventing weight loss,

assist with appetite & craving control, boost energy so you can increase

physical activity.

~ 90 Day Fat Burning Meal Plan

~ Different workout plans for all fitness levels

~ Access to Private Members Group for group support and weight loss coaching

Remember that it is what you do consistently over a long period

of time, not what you do in spurts, that truly counts. Just make

sure that you get back on the horse full force as soon as you

can and continue to press forward, doing your best to avoid

slacking off again. No matter what goals you have for health,

fitness, or weight loss, you CAN fit an effective exercise

program into that hectic schedule of yours and be amazingly

successful at getting the exact results that you want!
