There's no reason not to work out today.
If the excuse you just
fed your trainer sounded a little sorry to you, imagine how it sounds
to him. Clients cancel their appointments all the time for all sorts of
ridiculous reasons. Read on to hear what some trainers call the worst
they've heard.
See if you recognize any of your own lame excuses and then learn why no one's buying them:
"I have to work."
Exercise should be even more of a priority if you're busy at work. It
will give you a boost, clear your head and help you stay more
productive. Try taking a workout break and then getting back down to
business. You'll never make this excuse again.
"I stayed up too late last night" and/or "I partied too hard."
Regular exercisers need less sleep. So if you make it to the gym today,
you won't be starved for sleep in the future. Besides, trainers
themselves swear that exercise is the ultimate hangover cure.
"My boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife doesn't want me to workout."
Huh? Why are you with such a cave dweller? Doesn't your partner know
that exercise will improve your body, your energy level and your
disposition? You do all the hard work, and they get all sorts of
rewards. This one really doesn't cut it.
"I have a party/wedding/family event to go to tonight."
Even a half-hour workout has tremendous benefits and reduces anxiety.
Besides, if Academy Awards attendees can find the time to work out on
the big day to boost their muscle definition and get that healthy glow,
so can you.
"Something came up."
Don't even think about it. The key to weight loss and long-term fitness
is making exercise a priority. That means scheduling your social life
around your workouts, not in lieu of workouts. Don't worry, if you
start exercising now, you'll have the uncluttered mind and positive
outlook you need to better plan your time.
