I am going to start the new GL Healthy You Program this upcoming year, but there seems to be a problem. I don’t have time to workout. I can’t in the morning or after school. The weekends are too short and won’t be as helpful as working out every day. I also can’t go to Gyms. What should I do?

 

It’s important to remember that when it comes to working out, every bit counts and results aren’t over night. Even if you only have 10 free minutes in an entire day (which I am sure you do) you can incorporate exercise somehow. Before you go to bed do ten push ups, while you’re watching TV do fifty situps. If you’re reading for homework you can easily do a few curls with a three pound weight. When you’re at school, take the stairs. The weekends are perfect for lengthier stuff. Go for a 20 minute power walk around your neighborhood or get your friends together for a game of capture the flag. Anything that gets your heart rate up is exercise. You don’t have to go to a gym to work out. Even if you just dance around your room for 30 minutes you’re burning calories. Just try to incorporate little things that make a BIG difference into your usually routine.
