No Excuses

"I don't have time to exercise."
"I am too tired to workout."
"I'll start tomorrow."
"I don't know what I'm doing."

"I'm too big."
"Physical exertion is boring."
"I have kids so how can I workout?"
"I cannot afford to be active."
"I don't have the equipment."
"I'm unmotivated to sweat."
"I've never worked out before."
"I'm weak."
"If I attempted exercise moves I'd look foolish."
 
 
 
 
WORKING OUT SUCKS, RIGHT?!
 
 
OR DOES IT?
 
 
WHAT IF YOUR REASONS ARE JUST EXCUSES.  LET'S BE HONEST.  WE'RE ALL A LITTLE STUCK IN OUR WAYS AND MAYBE A TAD LAZY AND A KIND OF OVERWHELMED.  YES? 
 
Let's put all these excuses to bed and start being active so we can look and feel better.  I'm ready to zap those excuses and trade them for truth.
 
* I don't have time to exercise.
My workouts are 30 minutes of your day, from start to finish.  That's 2% of your day.
 
* I am too tired to workout.
My workouts make you feel energized for the rest of the day.
 
* I'll start tomorrow.
No you won't.  You can pre-schedule workouts with me so that it's an appointment you keep.
 
* I don't know what I'm doing.
Everyone starts as a beginner.  I'll show you what to do and how to do it right.
 
* I'm too big.
False.  No way.  While your size may not be healthy, my workouts bring fat loss so you shrink.
 
* Physical exertion is boring.
Some exercises are so monotonous and unfun.  Mine are high-energy and you only perform moves for 30 seconds before changing it up.  And you're with a bunch of fun people.
 
* I have kids so how can I workout?
My workouts are held at parks next to playgrounds. 
 
* I cannot afford to be active.
Gym memberships are expensive.  My big groups cost $10 a session.  Come twice a week and it's $15.  Three times in one week is $20 (that's like buy 2 get 1 free). 
 
* I don't have the equipment.
All you need is a mat and hand weights.  And guess who carries those in her van for you?
 
* I'm unmotivated to sweat.
Thankfully exercise becomes addictive.  And seeing results becomes addictive.  Visualize your goal and get started.
 
* I've never worked out before.
I work with all levels, including beginners.  And there's only positive encouragement.  Nothin' but love.
 
* I'm weak.
Lifting heavy weights will quickly reverse that and you'll be strong enough to tote that toddler AND your groceries all at once. 
 
* If I attempted exercise moves I'd look foolish.
No one is watching.  Everyone is too busy focusing on their form to have time to check you out.
