Exercise: 30-30-30

6:00am
I know it has been a while since my last journal entry, but I have had so many exciting things happpening that it has been difficult to find the time to journal.  This is just an excuse and I do realize that something that is difficult to do (losing weight, making more money, finding time with family, staying connected with friends...) is probably the most rewarding.

This goes right into my journal entry about exercise.  This is where the majority of people struggle when it comes to weight loss because it is the easiest to make excuses for (not enough time, tired, work...).  To be perfectly honest; all of those things are just excuses and if you are serious about your health, you won't make those excuses.  And I'm speaking from experience here, not from my high horse. 

So how have I encorporated exercise into my hectic life...?  30-30-30!

What does this mean?  I do 30 pushups, 30 situps and 30 squats every day (usually in the morning).  For those of you with no time, this is a great place to start.  It takes lest than 5 minutes and at least gets you in the mindset of working out on a regular basis.  Eventually, you will have to do more than this, but if you can start with this, you can work your way up to a 30-60 minute workout.  I know some of you are saying to yourselves..."I can't do 30 pushups!"  and I say, "YES you can!"  You can do 10 of each 3 times or 5 of each 6 times...just break it down so it is doable for you.  And I personally do modified pushups (a.k.a. "girl pushups").

The key is to make it work for you and start out small!  Have fun moving your mass! :)
