I hear this all the time "I'm so busy..." "No time these days" "Can't do it too stressed/busy" WTF is going on with people these days really? Nevermind just exercise, what is everyone else up to that is keeping them so horribly occupied? We can't all have 18 hr work days... I think it's mostly BS.

A one hour workout is 4 percent of your day.
So really if you say you have no time, I can't get it up to feel bad for you. Nope nope, not gonna do it.0 -
I was always too busy. Magically some time seemed to free up when I cut off my cable. Weird how that worked out.0

People suck. Who cares. lol0

I can't work out because I'm on MFP forums giving advice on how to workout.0

I can kind of understand the stress. I'm dealing with a terminally ill family member and sometimes it's nearly impossible to get yourself out of bed in the morning to work out... but I haven't missed a workout yet! Sometimes life throws you challenges, you just have to man-up and do it. There is no other way.0

I'm sorry, but I just don't have time with all the MFP thread lurking, work, driving, eating, napping, and TV watching, to get any exercise in!!
I just have NO time! :sad:0 -

Sorry about your family member. And greAt words.0 -
It's not about time it's about priorities. Saying I don't have enough time sounds better than saying I don't want to make it a priority.0

Except replace "man up" with "put on your super woman panties". Then I can support this.0 -
There's circumstances and excuses. Circumstances can make things hard but that's probably only 25% of the people, the rest just like that to be an excuse (I'm guilty of it myself over the years) but I'm currently a full time student and working 40 hours a week and I do an hour to an hour and a half of exercise every day. It's about what you want and prioritize those things.0

All these busy folks also need to realize that you can get in a bad-*kitten* workout in exactly 30 minutes. You DO NOT need 3 hours at the gym to get fit.0

Do you have kids? A house and yard to maintain? Aging parents who need assistance? Do you take night school courses to keep technically current for your job (or to get a better one)? Do you have any health issues that need monitoring or treatment? Extended family you keep social contact with? Do you do any volunteer work? Have any hobbies or outside interests not related to fitness? Just wondering.0

This, and I admit to being guilty of this in the past. It's so easy to fritter away tons of time just poking around the Internet. But in the last 3 months since I started doing MFP, I have been very motivated to do some form of exercise every day, even if it's just 20 minutes on the arc trainer. It's become a habit, thankfully.0 -
I don't know - if I worked full time I'd be pretty busy. I'm a secondary school teacher. Before I had kids and went part time I used to spend 8 hours on a Sunday doing all my lesson planning. And that wasn't including all the after school meetings, detention duties, marking etc. if on top of that I then had to collect my kids from nursery, give them a bath, get them ready for bed etc then I'd never get chance to sit down! Before kids I did used to go to the gym after work every day though, so I did still make the time.
Luckily I work part time so I have more of a balance and I have my gym time and my days off to just enjoy with my kids. I do have to spend time on school stuff still, and obviously all the housework things. My husband does shift work so I am often on my own with the kids.
I am worried about Sept when my eldest starts school. I'll have to collect him as soon as I finish (whereas now they both go to nursery til 6pm) so when my husband is on late shift there'll be no gym for me! But I can take my son for walks after school, and do my Zumba Xbox game in the evenings. There's always a way!0 -

What does it matter to you if they don't? Why worry about others? Worry about yourself.0
