How do I find time for exercise?
A client comes to me and asks me "Christopher, how do I find time to include exercise in my life? I don't have enough hours in the day. "
"You shouldn't be doing anything else." is my reply.
Exercise and your health should not be confined to the limitations of this hour or that hour. The limitations of this indicate that if you did exercise for this many minutes and then did nothing else the rest of your day you would continue to move forward and we know this is not so. It should not be confined to the limits of this external space or that location or time. Your development, health, and fitness is an always there experience. If this is a continuous process then what ever activity you are doing does not truly matter. Everything can be included into a program of movement and exercise. This does not mean numerous hours at the gym or out on the trail, but the incorporation of growth into the daily life. When you go to the office and work why can you not take the stairs and work the proper knee alignment? When you go to the store why can you not take an aisle to align the spacing between your feet and legs? What is the difference between laying on the couch and laying with the feet up the wall? The opportunities for your exercise are always present. It is the insistence of grouping them all together into a lump that has us believe there is a conflict with everything else.
