Fit in the fitness

We are busy people.  It often seems like we have way more to do than will fit into our days.  Even thinking about it all can wear us out.  It’s no wonder we often think we don’t have time to exercise.

Here’s the thing:  we don’t have time NOT to exercise.  When we work out, we are investing in ourselves and we can expect both short- and long-term payoffs.

In the short term, we will increase our ability to focus on the rest of the day’s tasks and we will have more energy.  We’ll be in a better mood, which will make all those other things go better.

In the long term, working out improves our health, which increases the odds of living longer with a better quality of life (not so many of us want to live a long time in a care facility, but we can get behind hijinks into our second centuries, I think!).

It’s not procrastination or failure to prioritize; we’re being both smart and efficient when we choose to get in a workout!
