I would toss a little polling question in here but I believe the answer is probably obvious. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of our readers had every intention of starting a great workout schedule this year, only to let other priorities derail your plan.
Hey, I am one of those people; I have new gym shoes still sitting in the box, untouched. That is life, we all have an excuse when it comes to health. If an exercise plan, staying healthy, and prolonging your life was THAT important to you, I am sure there would be a way for you to rearrange your schedule.
To get us started let's check out a good bit of info from the Diet Blog:
Stop thinking: All or Nothing
"If I can't do this workout properly - then there is no point in working out". I used to think like this. Now I think that even a 5 minute walk is better than 5 minutes on the couch. Even 10 minutes of light weights is better than nothing. This is especially important when exercising after a period of sickness. You feel like you took one step forward but fell 3 steps backward. Go easy on yourself. Don't give up. Something is better than nothing."
The Diet Blog goes on to list 10 things you can do to tweak your routine or attitude in order to get started.
