Moment of truth. Are you one of those people who says they’re always too busy to exercise?

One of the biggest barriers to exercise is time. Nowadays, everyone always seems to be too busy.

And it’s not our fault.

Society tells us that we need to always be going, going, going. Thank goodness self-care has now entered the spotlight.

Life is so overwhelming sometimes. Every day you need to go to work, look put-together, take care of your dependents (children, furry-children, possibly other family members, or all three), eat healthy and home-cooked meals, run errands, clean the house, pay the bills, exercise, and sleep – if you even can sleep with all of this on your mind!

“Less is more” applies to a lot of things: rich desserts, social drinking, our friends, etc.

And believe it or not, less is more when it comes to weight training too.

Don’t get me wrong; bodybuilders have to spend hours in the gym performing tons of different weighted exercises. But if you’re just trying to put on a little muscle and get healthy, their technique probably isn’t for you.

How to Have a Healthy New Year

Like usual, the end of this year feels a lot like the end of a long work day – albeit, the craziest, most hectic work day. You’ve put in a lot of hard work, now feel drained, and lack motivation for anything else: to eat healthy, to exercise, to get chores done, etc.

I wanted to share all the ways I’ve been getting re-inspired by fitness. I’m now at the point where I’m tired of feeling blah, of eating too many Christmas cookies, and of taking too many rest days. I don’t know about you, but I feel wayyy better when I have a healthy routine, full of nutritious foods and regular exercise.
