How do I find the time to exercise, and what are a few good exercises for beginners like me? Solution: Finding time to exercise is certainly a challenge. Even the most motivated among us suffer setbacks during our business&#39;s busy season or when a new project is on the horizon. The key to fitting fitness into your busy day is to recognize that finding time isn&#39;t the issue&#8211;it&#39;s making time.<\/p>\n<p>You may be surprised to hear that you can enjoy the benefits of a regular exercise program in as little as three hours per week.<\/p>\n<p>The following routine shows you how:<\/p>\n<p>Monday: Half-hour of jogging, biking (on hills) or other intense aerobic exercise you enjoy Tuesday: Half-hour of strength training (squats, sit-ups and push-ups for beginners; weight training with machines or dumbbells for the more experienced) Wednesday: Rest day Thursday: Repeat Monday Friday: Repeat Tuesday Saturday: One hour of exercise&#8211;any type of exercise. Go rollerblading with a friend, take the family to the hills for a hike or swim laps at the pool. Sunday: Rest day<\/p>\n<p>Make your workouts more time-efficient by exercising harder. For example, you can walk two miles in a half-hour, or you can run four miles in a half-hour. You can spend an hour in step aerobics class, or you can spend 20 minutes rowing at the highest resistance level on the rowing machine. When you perform strength-training exercises, use a challenging resistance and move quickly through your exercises to get an aerobic benefit.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to commit to getting fit, exercise must become a part of your life&#8211;a habit as regular as brushing your teeth. Try these ideas to help you stay on track:<\/p>\n<p>*Make a log of everything you do for a week, and identify the time slots where you can fit in exercise. Did you spend a Saturday afternoon watching the Back to the Future trilogy for the fifth time? Could you manage to get up a half-hour earlier on the weekdays? Just skip an hour of television time and go to bed earlier.<\/p>\n<p>*Make exercise convenient. Find a place to work out that&#39;s close to your home or office. If you&#39;re disciplined and have the space, work out at home.<\/p>\n<p>*Develop relationships with supportive people. Join an exercise class or go to the gym with friends. If you skip a class, your friends will hold you accountable.<\/p>\n<p>*Exercise at the right time. The &#34;right time&#34; is when you&#39;re most likely to do it. If you know your day often ends late or meetings come up suddenly, it&#39;s best to schedule your workout for first thing in the morning when nothing can interfere. If you&#39;re a night owl, fit your workout in before dinner. If you can only manage a 10-minute walk on your lunch hour&#8211;do it. Some exercise is better than none.<\/p>\n<p>Benefits Of Exercise<\/p>\n<p>Need more motivation to get fit? Consider the following benefits of exercise:*Exercise increases your stamina and strength.*Exercise improves your heart and lung efficiency.*Exercise gives your body greater resistance to disease, stress, anxiety and fatigue.*Exercise gives you more energy and enhances your capacity for work and leisure activities.*Exercise releases hormones that stimulate the brain, helping to clear your mind, see things from a new perspective, and come up with fresh ideas.<\/p>\n<p>So make an appointment with yourself to get some exercise. Your body&#8211;and your business&#8211;will thank you for it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-this\"><a class=\"showform\" href=\"javascript:none('')\" id=\"a\" onclick=\"mosform('');\" title=\"Compartelo con Twitter\">Twitter This<\/a>\n<div id=\"form\" style=\"display:none\">\n<form class=\"formtwit\" id=\"myForm\" action=\"https:\/\/flirtingwithfitness.com\/exercise\/wp-content\/plugins\/twitter-this\/post_to_twitter.php\" method=\"get\">\nUsuario: <input class=\"ttinput\" type=\"text\" name=\"usser\" \/>\n Password: <input class=\"ttinput\" type=\"password\" name=\"pass\" \/>\n <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"title\" value=\"\" \/>\n <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"permalink\" value=\"https:\/\/flirtingwithfitness.com\/exercise\/exercising\/the-power-workout\/\" \/>\n <input type=\"submit\" value=\"&raquo;\" \/>\n <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"loader\" src=\"https:\/\/flirtingwithfitness.com\/exercise\/wp-content\/plugins\/twitter-this\/ajax-loader.gif\" alt=\"cargando...\" \/>\n <\/form><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Power Workout<\/p>\n<p>\nScenario: I really want to get in shape, but I work all day and attend multimedia classes until 8:30.
