TIPS
Do it early in the morning. My favorite time to work out is between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. Plus, I know that if I work out at this time, nothing will get in the way of the workout later in the day. It’s a beautiful time of day, not too hot, and there’s nothing like showering and going to work knowing that I’ve put in a great exercise (and it allows me to feel superior and look down my nose at those lazy bums I work with).
Squeeze it in during lunch. OK, you’re not a morning person. You’re busy. You don’t have time to work out. Well, suck it up, buster, and sacrifice your lunch hour to the gods of fitness. Bring your workout clothes, do a quick workout, and be back at work ready to tackle the afternoon.
First thing after work. None of those options work for you? Not a problem, my friend. Make it a daily appointment to work out as soon as you get off work. This will also motivate you to finish your work on time so you can get out on time for your workout. It’s great to stop somewhere to do your workout before you even get home, because once you get home you’ll probably want to relax on the couch, fall asleep at the kitchen table, or rush to the computer.
“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.” -Plato
Theme – Awareness
Definition-conscious; informed; on one’s guard; vigilant
Thoughts on the Theme-This is the awareness of the present, in all activities. From the resistance training in the gym to cardiovascular exercise at home; awareness is used, bringing focus to seemingly tedious tasks. All of the actions you perform in the present give you the results of the future. The body and mind is in a constant state of evolution and change. With awareness, your mind can take some (or full) control over where this evolution will take you. There are some events which you think you have no control over, yet with a refined awareness, or a superior focus, you may realize the reins were in your hands the whole time. Take the reins today, and ask yourself: “Why am I doing this?” “What will this do for me?” “How is my body and mind reacting to this?” If the present action is in line with the positive mental image of yourself, you are performing the correct present action. If it is not inline, recreate yourself that instant!
“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us.”
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
