Get off Your Butt!

Hey everyone, I hope that this entry finds you all well. I was speaking with a client of mine the other day, and we got to talking about fatigue, and working out. Lets face it, the biggest reasons not to workout are time and fatigue. How often do you catch yourself thinking, "oh I can't workout today, I am too tired and don't want to further exhaust myself for tomorrow?" Or how about, "I just don't have the time today, I'll get to it next time." Lets face it, there will never be the right time or energy level to workout. In my opinion, (and if you are a client of mine you are probably sick of hearing this analogy) working out is like brushing your teeth. How many times have you been in bed, or on the couch, and just wanted to turn in without brushing your teeth? You are comfortable and tired, and just don't feel like getting up. However, somehow you get yourself to the bathroom knowing that you have to brush your teeth. In my mind, working out is the same way. We all know that we have to do it, however, sometimes we just don't feel like getting up and doing it. Somehow you have to make that decision to get up and do it, just like brushing your teeth (ironically enough I have awful teeth, but that is off topic :). Let me tell you something my friends, (wow I sound like McCain) I would say at least 4 or 5 times out of 10 I don't feel like working out. My work out time (due to my training and running the business) is at 9:00 p.m. crazy right? Do I like working out that late, not really. However, it has to be done. Lets face it, our lives are all crazy, especially this day in age with the economy the way it is. However, make exercise that one constant in your life that you can control. Build your world around it, and make it a fundamental aspect of your lifestyle. Trust me, you'll be healthier, more efficient, and more successful in your endeavors. Keep motivated!!! I wish you all the best in health and happiness, Your friend in health, Eric Leader
