If you knew that 5 times a week, you could show up somewhere and receive a free relaxing massage for one hour, most people would find a way of arranging their schedules to be able to be at the exact place and time to receive that free massage. Whether it be business or family obligations, schedules would be arranged to accomodate the massage appointment. How about exercising 5 times a week for an hour? Many people find numerous reasons/excuses as to why they couldn't fit in the exercise to their very busy day.
Bottom line: a massage feels great when you are receiving it. Working out does not. We often find reasons why not it does not fit our schedule to exercise.
Try to find exercise venues that are not abhorrent to you. Some people loathe treadmills. Do not force yourself to do anything you do not like. Many people like exercise classes. For others, finding a partner to hit the walking trails is a more social outing that at the same time burns calories. A number of people enjoy the Wi fit program.
Exercise is an important part of a long term weight control strategy and finding a way to fit this into your schedule will pay dividends as fae as your efforts to be happier and healthier.
