Starting Exercise Over 40 Continued #5

Exercise needs to be a priority in your life. We are all very good at finding excuses about why we can't exercise. Here's an exercise for you, what are the 3 top reasons that you don't exercise?

Now write these down on a 3 X 5 card. One on each card. Now write strategies for overcoming these reasons for not exercising. Laminate the cards and carry them with you so that you can refer to them.

Next put exercise in your schedule. Just like you schedule a business meeting, schedule your exercise into your day. You would not skip a business meeting because you didn't feel like it, so don't skip your exercise time either. Use some tough love on yourself. You wouldn't go check into a hotel because you didn't feel like going home to your family each night. Get over it.
