Are you tired of feeling guilty on Monday for your weekend? Do you ever feel you should give up because you have not exercised in a week? Then it is time to change the way you think and make exercise a part of your lifestyle.
To stick to an exercise program, we have to think of exercise as a part of our life. That is why I am always skeptical when I hear about crazy workout programs or unrealistic times/places women attempt to exercise. If it does not fit into your lifestyle, it simply will not work.
Let me share my personal example. Before children, I worked out 6 days a week 1-1.5 hours a day. However, there is no way with two children, a job, after school activities, volunteer work, and my desire to be a good wife that I am able to do that today. If I thought I had to do that, I would definitely give up and quit. But because exercise is a part of who I am, I had to change my expectations and develop a program that works for me and my schedule. I am able to stick to it because it is a part of my lifestyle and I make it fit for me.
I have such a passion for working with women to create a personal exercise and eating program that work with their lifestyle because I see so many give up when they feel hopeless. It can work no matter how busy life gets. There just has to be a change in thinking.
