Feb

The modern life is a busy one, fully of phone calls, video conferences, driving to and from appointments, meetings, social gatherings, sleep, eat quick meals and all the other ways we’ve adapted to the conditions of modern life. With all of these things going on, it may seem difficult to create time in your schedule for exercise. But just like with most things, when there is a will there is a way. You’ll have to decide whether or not exercise is important enough to push some of the other things out of the way, and if your goal is to lose weight and get healthy, it should be important enough.

The good news is that the GenoVive custom exercise program does not need to take up that much of your time, only up to an hour a day. Most of the exercises can be done in the comfort of your own home by walking in your neighborhood or adapted for use at your gym. Not only that, but they are customized to work at your own level of fitness and designed to teach you about the right intensity of exercise that works best for you. If you have concerns about your ability to do a particular exercise, you should skip it or start slowly with other exercises as you build strength. And always speak with your physician first before starting a new exercise routine.

If you still think that you don’t have the time in your schedule to exercise, it’s time to evaluate the time you spend more carefully. Write down everything that you do in a day on a daily planner or spreadsheet. Evaluate each item and give it a level of importance. Obviously items like sleep, eating, and working are essential, but there are probably some things on there that you simply can do without. Maybe cut out that daily trip to the coffee shop. Or instead of watching your favorite show on the couch, watch it while walking on the treadmill.
