Do you feel like you don't have the time to exercise? I mean, let's get real: you probably are already cleaning, cooking, wiping snotty noses, folding load upon load of laundry, and trying not to fall asleep at the end of the day so you can have one good conversation with your husband. Maybe you even work outside the home on top of all that!
Exercise seems like the last thing we have time for because it's not usually thought of as fun. I think we, as women, also tend to put it toward the bottom of our list because it is something we do for ourselves and, in our role of selfless women where everyone needs a piece of us for something, we feel guilty taking the time to do something that would benefit us.
Here is a quick solution to at least try to get you moving. A friend of mine was telling me last week that she came across a woman who did just one minute of push-ups and one minute of sit-ups a day. That is just two minutes of your time. In her first 30 days trying this, she lost 7 pounds!
Now, I don't know what this woman's starting weight was or how much she had to lose altogether to get to a healthy weight. Most likely the results are going to be different for everyone based on body types and a variety of factors.
But who can't fit two minutes into her day? We multi-task on everything else, why not try this?I actually squeeze it in while playing with the kids. Noah even does a couple sit-ups with me until he rolls over thinking it's a game.
After all, what is it going to hurt?
