Putting Fitness and Exercise on your Calendar

Putting Exercise and Fitness on your Calendar may be the most important event of your week. It's hard though, with our everyday lifestyles being so hectic.
Go here! Go there! Don't slow down! Don't stop! Help him! Help her!

For many, looking at a desk or wall calendar or day planner is distressing and depressing. Filled with meetings and events, the calendar at which you rn your life can be a sign of a busy but unfulfilled life. It can also signal an unhealthy daily  routine - especially if there is no time carved out for exercise and fitness. Putting a little exercise on your calendar may be no easy task, but the benefits are well worth the effort.

Exercise and Fitness and The Daily Schedule

Not Easy, but Possible...

Wondering how to cram exercise in your overflowing schedule? First, grab your calendar and sit down. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. If it's been a while since you've done that, do it again. Feels good, doesn't it? Now think of the importance of Fitness to your health.

Now that you're in your right mind, turn your calendar to the upcoming month. You can find a few times each week to squeeze in the workouts.  Look over the Fitness One class schedule. Write down what time you're going to exercise.  With the class schedule, you don’t even have to think, just show up for class each time for a full body workout!

“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” - Edward Stanley

If you have to miss a few classes, keep your chin up. Take another deep breath and cross something off your calendar. only. Then cross something else off. In both their places, write "exercise." Finally, call anyone who may be affected by your decisions and you will need to reschedule.

Making the decision to add exercise to your life isn't as easy as it should be. But it is important. Vitally important. And while you may think fitness is only for people who want to look good, you're wrong. Regular exercise helps you feel better inside and out. But that's not it! Exercise is the best preventive medicine available, helping every part of your body work more effectively and efficiently.

On top of all these great perks, hitting Fitness One on a regular basis will help when it's time to look at your calendar. Remember how stressful it is to think about putting one more thing in your day? With an exercise regimen firmly in place, you'll be more relaxed and less likely to feel overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. You'll even perform each individual task with gusto and more attention to detail than would be possible without including exercise in your day planner. So before you count exercise out of your life, give it a second thought.

There's probably a little room on your calendar for it after all.
