DON’T HAVE TIME TO EXERCISE
The most common reason why people avoid exercising is that they simply don’t get the time for it, but don’t be like that. No matter what, you have to schedule your routine around it.
Think of ‘exercise’ as a necessity and make time for it. Take it as a high priority in your calendar and make out a prescription for it before starting the exercise based on various factors such as – your goals for fitness, your concerns regarding your health, the activities that you enjoy among many others.
However, if you are overweight or you have serious health concerns, then you need to customise your exercising schedule according to it. The same goes for pregnant women as well as those people who have serious health conditions like cancer; in fact, exercise for them is a boon as it will result in a healthy pregnancy plus a successful recovery.
And don’t even think of using your age as an excuse because you should know this by now, no matter if you are in the 30s, 50s or 70s, exercise can provide you immense benefits. There’s no fixed age as to when you can start exercise as it can be done in any age.
Exercise is that omnipotent.
