I’ll workout when I have more free time.
I’ll get to the gym when:
things slow down at work
all my travel is done
I have more free time
These are things I hear quite often. And I get it. Sometimes life is so crazy it’s really tough to squeeze in workouts. Exercising can feel like a luxury you just don’t have time for. One that you genuinely plan to tackle when life slows down.
But there’s two big reasons why this mindset won’t serve you well in the long run.
#1. You’re always going to be busy.
I don’t know a single human being that isn’t busy. Are some of us more busy than others? Do kids play a big role in time management and flexibility? Yes of course! But you my dear reader - you’re smart, successful, and always trying to get better. So I hate to break it to you, but you’re probably not going to get less busy 🤷♀️
#2. If you wait until you have free time to workout, you’ll stop as soon as life gets busy again.
It seems perfectly logical to wait until you have free time to start. But when do you consistently have free time? I’m guessing your answer is -rarely-
Learning to get your workouts in even when it’s hard will ensure you stick with it long term, not just when it’s convenient for your schedule.
Once you’re working out consistently for a few months, it will become part of your normal routine, your normal (BUSY) life. So as loco as it may sound, the ideal time to start is when you’re busy. Master the most challenging version first, then the rest will feel like cake.
