Please let’s not hear that excuse about it being too “wet” and damp to exercise, because if you are committed to truly exceptional results, then you know deep down that this is not going to wash when it comes to questioning why you are not achieving your goals.
This is exactly when variety of exercise comes into it, to cut out these so called excuses so you’re not caught up worrying about what the weather is doing all the time.
If it is torrential rain outside, and you don’t fancy going for a run or cycle, or even a walk, then you should have the option of working out inside.
A simple circuit of the following would be very valuable, straight to the point and cut out your excuses not to exercise.
Press ups-10
Arm dips on chair-10
Sitting up and down on a chair-10
Sit ups-10
Alternate squat thrusts-20
Nobody can seriously tell me that five exercises are impossible to do!
Nobody can tell me that ten minutes is too hard “to fit in to your busy lifestyle”!
Most people will make up excuses not do any exercise, please take yourself out of that large group of the general population, or you will become one of the people in this country (the majority in fact) who are classed as overweight and obese.
It makes me laugh when I hear of all the sometimes complicated exercise programmes you hear of in magazines, which are adopted with limited success by the general public.
For most individuals who are just interested in getting fitter and healthier, a simple programme that takes 10-20 minutes three times a week can work surprisingly well.
In fact, I have seen people start off on a programme just like this and go on to achieve great things, such as take part in triathlons, race the London Marathon, go on to ultra-endurance challenges, etc etc.
The starting point can be as small as you want, but the road you take after that is entirely up to you as long as you show commitment and consistency, that’s all it takes!
