How do you find the time for exercise?

thx for the feedback all, true it's a must make time as opposed to find time....I get that but .....

1) -40 degree weather being one
2) 120$+ gym membership
3) it's just me the spouse hasn't gotten on board with the changes
4) having to often cook two different meals
5) can't exactly keep walking when the dog stops to take a leak or other business
6) probably can't do a squat in about 4 layers of clothing
7) it's not easy regardless of the situation.
8) It's easy for someone currently in a routine, and have made exercise a habit to say you have to make the time than it is someone who isn't doing it to actually make the time.
9) trying to find ways to motivate myself to make time for working out
10) having free time to relax and take care of some other things that I enjoy
11) I hope someday I will get the commitment to working out
12) everything is easier said than done unless your already doing it.

1) it's -40 degrees in your house? If not, here is a workout that will kick your butt and you can do it in your livingroom. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

2) a gym membership is not only unnecessary, but I don't believe you have yet developed the discipline to make the cost worth it anyway. You'd have to be already prepared to put in consistent regular effort. Since you don't have to join a gym to get fit, this is a non-issue. A gym is a luxury.

3) On behalf of all of us single people, and people with no families or who live very far from them all - doing it alone is not an obstacle to succeeding. On behalf of everyone who is married and surrounded by family that is ambivalent or against you making yourself fit, doing it alone is not an obstacle to succeeding. Having someone do it with you is cool. It's a luxury. Not everyone gets that rare luxury.

4) You don't have to.

5) stopping for less than a minute while the dog pees does not mean it is no longer a workout. When others go for a run or a jog or a walk or a bike ride - they have to stop at red lights, stop signs, avoid people and vehicle - does this mean they didn't get a real workout in?

6) why does it matter if you can do a squat in 12 layers of clothing? cant you do some indoors? Cant you do them during commercials?

7) It's not supposed to be easy. It's supposed to take effort. All the best things and biggest pay offs do. Being a human adult is hard. It's all hard.

8) It's easy for someone who has done the work and seen the benefit of doing so - to tell someone who isn't doing it - that it will work.

YES.

It's called sharing information. If you whine and complain for two hours cause you don't want to do the dishes - and then you get up and do them and realize it only took 11 minutes - who looks silly?

When those that have succeeded tell you that it's easier to just wash the dishes than to spend hours avoiding it, making excuses and trying to get out of it - listen to them and in 15 minutes you'll be back on your own time.

9) forget motivation. it doesnt help you lose weight. It just makes it easier. We've already established it's hard. If you wait around until someone else makes your job easier, you'll be waiting forever. It won't happen. It's up to you.

10) So you do have time, you just prefer to use it for other things that you deem fun.

11) Hope doesn't bring commitment. Decisions + Action bring commitment.

12) Everything is easier said than done unless you are already doing it???

How did all the people who are already doing it - get there?

BY DOING IT!

Good luck!

Well, my assumption was wrong. The OP hasn't deacto'ed yet.
