This week, I experimented a little bit. Sitting here now, I can appreciate the perspective this experiment has given me. However, I didn’t realize I was experimenting until I was aware of the perspective. (Yes … “experiment” 3 times in one paragraph!)
Between work and preparing for school, I really didn’t have any time to work out this week. At least that’s what I told myself.
I felt I was too busy and too tired to make it to the gym. As the week progressed, I kept getting more and more tired. Today, I’m exhausted!

When I’m talking to people about fitness, more often than not those who aren’t working out will cite “insufficient time” as their reason for not getting to the gym. After this week’s experiment I can tell you … that’s a terrible excuse!
My week of no exercise has reminded me that working out gives you an amazing amount of energy. Normally I can’t sit still for more than 20 minutes and one cup of coffee will last me all day. This week I’ve been slow, my ideas aren’t as fresh and I’ve definitely been lacking in the creative conversation department.
A regular fitness routine may take an hour or two out of each day, but I guarantee it will make so productive you'll gian an extra 2 to 4 hours each day and will actually save you time and energy in the long run. After this week, I promise I’ll never let a “busy week” interfere with my workouts because all it really did was make everything that much tougher and busier.
So if you’re one of those people who thinks you don’t have time to go to the gym, make some time. Because that build up of positive energy will transition into positive results in work and in life.
I guarantee it!
