Just as living for Jesus requires sacrifice, so does a living healthy life (for Jesus). Excuses will happen, so let’s be prepared for them! Here are some easy things to help fight off excuses.
#1) Workout first thing in the morning. Let’s admit it - once 9 a.m. rolls around the rest of you day is spoken for. Meetings are added, emergencies come up, kids get sick. Personally, working out first thing in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. I pray when I am warning up or as I drive home from the gym I watch the sunrise. It’s a beautiful thing.
#2) Get up earlier in the morning. Sometimes those 10 minutes can add hours later to your day!
#3) Workout with a friend. If you know you are meeting with a friend to crush a workout you have accountability. Or if you have an online accountability group doing the same program you know you just need to press play and do it like the rest!
#4) Schedule workouts. You schedule conference calls and work meetings, schedule workouts!
#5) Make lunchtime productive. Go for a walk with your kids or dog. Go for a quick run with a co-worker.
