Health and Fitness

Perhaps you've wondered why you can't seem to keep a schedule of regular exercise. After all, everyone knows they should exercise a lot more, and we all start a program with the best intentions. This time is going to be the turning point, you tell yourself. And then one or two weeks later the excuses start popping into your head.

Let's just face it, exercise is a low priority item on the to do list. You've got work, the kids, household chores, activities, friends - all need at least a weekly, if not daily time expense. Yet, the health and wellness industry is one of the most profitable of all.

To change a long standing habit of procrastination, particularly regarding exercise, you should take a few steps to largely eliminate the possibility of failure. Here are a few practical examples:

1. Take a little while to exercise at different times of the day for a week or two, and determine when you're most likely to exercise. This is extremely important, because if you read somewhere that working out in the morning is best, but there's no way you can do that, pass it up, because there is likely.
2. Find a hobby or sport that requires a decent level of physical activity, and get involved. This one is my favorite, because it masks the drudgery of regular exercise so well. It's not work when you're having fun!
3. Fit some more activity into your daily schedule, such as when running errands, parking the car, etc. Park a little further from the stores or other locations you're going to, take the stairs intend of the elevator in buildings, stand up at the desk a few more minutes a day - standing alone burns more calories than sitting for instance. I'm sure you can think of many more ways to fit some more activity in.
4. Invest in a fitness machine so you can cut the time required to exercise. If you have to drive back and forth to the gym, including an additional shower, changing your clothes, etc - this will most likely double the time expense required to fit in a 20 - 30 minute workout. You'll take at least an hour or more instead.
5. Work in some resistance training with body weight exercises whenever possible, such as during commercials when watching TV, when on the phone, and whenever else you can.

As you can see, there are quite a few ways to failure proof your exercise routine, specifically, your commitment to it. Making changes to our daily routine is normally extremely difficult, even if the new habit you'd like to form requires minimal effort.

One of my favorite forms of exercise is fitting in a quick elliptical machine workout. If you're in the process of researching home gym equipment, or just considering which cardiovascular workout is best for you, you can't go wrong with an elliptical machine.
