Scheduling Exercise into Your Week

Every Sunday/Monday, take a look at the week that you have ahead and schedule when/what you will be doing for your workouts.  Make your scheduled time as much of a priority as you would any work meeting.  Do your best to accomplish it.

If you need to reschedule your routine one day, that is fine.  RESCHEDULE IT for another time.  Don't completely dismiss/delete it from your calendar. 

Work can get hectic, but exercise will actually help you to maintain your stress.  Keep this in mind when you are evaluating whether or not it is better to forego exercise to accomplish a little bit more in the office. 

And due to the season, what about SNOWDAYS?  Have a back up plan.  Maybe it's time to dust off your favorite workout video.  Remember that there is a reason people balloon up in the winter.  We naturally want to hibernate and be less active.  So go against the grain and BE ACTIVE.

And remember..."working out" can be 30 minutes of speedwalking during your lunch hour.  It doesn't always have to be an 1.5 hour work out routine in the gym lifting weights and going on the treadmill.

Something is always better than nothing.
