I don't have time!?  

    This is the most common reason I hear for not exercising and I hear you.  We are being pulled in so many different directions, work, family, hobbies, the list is endless.  There is also the misunderstanding you need to spend an hour exercising to reap rewards.  First off if your goal is improved or maintaining good health you don't need an hour.  The current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans is 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity with 2 days of muscle strengthening activity.  That can be 30 minutes of activity over 5 days per week, but here is the good news, you can break that down to (3) 10 minute bouts of exercise throughout the day.  Consider 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes during an afternoon break either at work or home and 10 minutes after dinner or during your child's practice or game.  If you are just beginning your journey start gradually begin with (1) 10 minute session and once that becomes habit introduce a 2nd session. Honestly if you get stuck 10 or 20 minutes stick with it, that does not make it a fail, you are still creating a positive impact on your health.

    Now with all that said, this post is introducing you to a 10 minute strength session which can be part of 1, 2 or all 3 of your sessions.  To provide variety consider making one of your sessions a walk, going up and down the stairs or anything that may increase your heart rate.

Create attainable goals, example: start exercising. Suggestion: be more specific and achievable.  Start exercising 10 minutes a day, 3x per week and grow from there. 2. Approach your goal as adding something positive rather than eliminating, example: eat healthier.      Suggestion: Include a vegetable in one meal a day, 3-4 meals a week.     Once these realistic goals are achieved re-evaluate and create your new attainable goal.  PLEASE prevent from creating a list of goals or to do's, approach one at a time, once you have reached your goal and it is sustainable then move on.  This is not pas...
