    I'm guilty of the same thing. I can think of 100 things I can be doing around the house (cleaning, laundry, etc) rather than exercising. This makes me wonder when I'm going to fit the household stuff in and I get aggravated and tackle household chores instead. I received some good advice though. I'm worth it. I'm worth taking the time out to take care of me. I've just got to apply it now. The laundry will still be there after I exercise. No one else is going to do it I assure you...lol. I'll figure out how to fit it all in eventually, and with the extra energy I should have with getting healthier, it should get easier. :)

    Ex coach potato here and actually cant believe i made the change. I work from home and used to believe i didnt have the time to exercise. I also used to believe that the only way to do it was through the gym until i joined this site. I now make sure i exercise at least 30 mins a day 6 times a week. I have just made it part of my daily routine like it or not. But what you will like is how you feel and look after a while. It really is worth it. Once you start i bet you will start ticking off your other things on your list one by one. (Dont try and tackle everything in one go otherwise it may be too overwhelming).

    Remember if the gym is not your thing you tube, fitnessblender.com, hasfit.com have lots to choose from all from 5 mins +. Good luck you can do it.

    It all comes back to establishing a routine.
    I couldn't agree with this more.

    Start small. Form a a habit of exercising (this can take 2 - 3 weeks). Build up your routine over time; add distance or new exercises. A year later it can be quite surprising how far you can progress from a sedentary starting point.
