A friend of mine, Rebecca Cagle, is a life coach and although she deals with every angle of your life she can also narrow in on obstacles to reaching health and fitness.  Exercise is not just about weights and cardio training, but about the obstacles to reaching your goals and setting aside the time to actually squeeze those workouts in. All too often we start on a program and never complete. Here are som suggestions to those common quetions below:

I would like to exercise but my schedule is packed. Would should I do? It sounds like you are overcommitted. Take the time to go over your schedule. Look at you calendar and make a list of activities in which you are involved. Do a cost-benefit analysis on each activity. You may be surprised at which ones you can do without. Remove as many as possible that you can live without and schedule time for exercise. Not only will you find time to exercise, you will also find free time to relax and decompress from the daily stresses of life.

Exercising alone is not fun and I cannot stick with it. Where do I turn for help? For accountability and making it a social experience, get a personal trainer like Becky Fox, owner of Fox Fitness. You can work out with her one to one or in a Boot Camp where several people exercise together  Either way you will have the fun of sharing exercise with at least one other person. And you will have more incentive to keep your commitment to yourself to stay fit. It is a more rewarding energetic experience.
