 How to find time to exercise this year. Have you been trying to figure out how to work exercise in your schedule? You know you got to do it. You know it's important. But you just haven't gotten around to it. Are you going to want to watch this video to the very end? Because I'll show you how you can fit it in your schedule. Yes. Even if you're a very busy person. Yes. Even if you've got other obligations. Yes. You can do this. Stick with me on this video. I love it. Sometimes you'll be watching a TV show along those lines. And you'll watch those guys. And you'll go, wow, that lady, she's amazing. That guy, he's amazing. I bet I could run a marathon. I bet I could do that if I just got out there and worked out each day. I think maybe I'll get up early in the morning and start. And then the morning comes. And then the alarm goes off. And you don't start. And then the next morning comes. And the next morning comes. And that idea of you running that marathon kind of fades. That idea of you doing that push-up contest. It kind of fades. Those ideas of exercise fade. Now, the number one thing I hear people say is I just don't have time. You don't understand. You don't know what my schedule is like, JR. My schedule is so full I can't fit another thing into it. I know I should exercise. And one day I will. But right now I can't. Now the problem with this thinking is if it's one day, it's probably going to be many, many years in the future. And you may be in such poor health that you won't be able to exercise. The point of exercise is so that as you get older, you stay healthy. That's what it really is. You know, I've heard people say, well, that person is a really athletic person. You don't understand, JR. They're just naturally athletic. There's no such thing. You can't be naturally athletic. Now you could be a certain height, but as far as your athleticism, it's going to be based on how much you work out and how much you do. You could be, and you can't argue with this, you could be more athletic right now if you did exercises every day. I don't think you could argue with that. If you exercise every single day, you could be more athletic. The question is how do you do that? Because you don't have enough time. But is that true? If you think about time, how much time do we have? We have 24 hours. We have 24 hours and we spend that time every single day. And once we've spent it, it's gone forever. It's history. It's gone. Okay? So if you were to break your leg today, you would make time to go to the doctor, wouldn't you? You would say, well, yeah, I mean, I have to. If I broke my leg, I got to go to the doctor. So the only thing that you're really missing is you making time for things. Because when an emergency comes up, when something special comes up, we're going to make time for it. If they said to you, hey, you won the lottery. You got to be here at five o'clock tomorrow morning. You're going to have to drive 200 miles to turn your ticket to get the $10 million. You'd make time for it. The difference is we forget that the reason we're doing these exercises is for a goal. When you decide you're going to exercise, when you decide you're going to work out, you're going to do any type of exercise program, there's a reason for it. There's a reason for it. Okay? So maybe you're doing it because you want to stay healthy for your family and you want to be around for many years to come. That's my reasoning for it. I want to stay healthy and I want to be around. Maybe it's because you want to lose some weight. You want to fit better in your clothes. Maybe it's because right now you just don't feel good. You don't feel healthy. Your health doesn't feel good. You feel tired all the time. So whatever that Y is, whatever that Y is that you have in your brain is what you need to think about every single day that you decide to exercise. Now, your exercise program can be three days a week, four days, five days, mine's five right now. And right when I decide to exercise, something always pops in my head and it says, oh my God, you don't want to do that. That's not going to be fun. That's going to be hard. That's going to be difficult. You worked out hard the other day. This internal voice starts and it says all these things to me and then I have to counter it. If you don't have something to counter it with, then you're not going to work out. You're going to go, oh my gosh, I don't want to do it. So my counter is weight, my Y. My Y is I want to be healthy and live a long time to take care of my family and be there for them. And when I put that Y in there, it kind of overrides that indication that I don't want to work out. I have to have that Y there. So what's your Y? What's your Y? What's the reason that you want to do it? Now, if you say, well, I'm overweight and I don't fit good in my clothes, you need to imagine yourself fitting good in your clothes. You need to imagine wearing that size that you want to wear and not being embarrassed when you go into stores and nothing fits. Okay? You need to get that Y and as soon as you say, well, I want to go exercise. You're like, oh my gosh, it's hard. It's difficult. This couch is so comfortable. Go back to your Y. Go back to the Y. Why did you want to do this? Exercise in itself probably won't be fun. I'm sure there's some people out there that just enjoy it. My son's big on working out and I think he actually enjoys it. Not quite sure what's wrong with him, but he does enjoy it. Not everybody does. Now, I'm not saying that every time I work out, I hate it the whole time. Every now and then it feels okay, but for the most part, I know I'm not going to want to do it and it's going to be difficult. So what we have to do is we have to come up with some inventive ways to actually exercise. So if you don't live that far from where you work, maybe you could bike to work. You're combining two things. You're combining your commute with a bike ride. That could be a very simple way to sneak in some exercise and not even take that much more time out of your day. Maybe you could work it into the current schedule you have. So maybe you normally take a 30-minute lunch. You sit around, you talk with your associates, your friends or whatever and you hang out because you got an hour. What if you ate in 10 minutes and the first part of your lunch hour, you went for a run. You ran for 30 minutes and then got cleaned up and had a 10-minute lunch by yourself. Maybe you could do that and you're still working it into your schedule. You're still getting something done, but you've taken time away from something else that maybe wasn't that productive. You could also trick yourself into working out. I do this on a daily basis. I trick myself. And here's how I trick myself. When I get up in the morning, I decide I'm going to work out after lunch, most days. Today I can't because I'm filming and doing all this stuff. But for the most part, I get up every day. I put on my gym clothes. There's the key. I put on my gym clothes. Now I'm sitting in my gym clothes from morning to lunch. I eat my lunch and after lunch I tell myself I'm going to work out. And I'm sitting in my gym clothes. So I've made it pretty easy to work out and I've made myself feel guilty if I don't because I'm wearing gym clothes. If I'm wearing gym clothes, why did I put them on? It kind of reminds me to do that. So you need to trick yourself a little bit. Now the other thing I hear a lot is I've got other obligations. I've got these kids and with my kids I just don't have time to work out because I've got to take care of the kids. Well, there's a couple things you could do. You could join a gym that has a kid's room. That kid could go in there and play and meet other kids and have a good time. This is after COVID's gone, of course. I know that. Or the other thing you could do is actually work out where your kids are playing. So maybe your kids are playing in the living room and you watch a video on YouTube that's an exercise video and you do that next to them and you're still in the room with them. There are ways to get around this. I'm telling you, if you're telling yourself there's no way, there's no time whatsoever, you're convincing yourself of something that is not true. It's not true. You just don't want it bad enough. I remember when my daughter was first born and I wanted to go for runs at night and I couldn't because I had to watch her. But then I got one of those jogging strollers and she really enjoyed it and we would go jogging together and she would be able to jogging strollers and I still got my run in. So you can combine these tasks and that actually gave me more one-on-one time with her. If I was home, maybe I was watching TV and I wasn't giving her the attention that she really deserved. So with the jogger and the stroller, I'm talking to her and we're going along and we're having nice conversations. So there's things like that you can do. Now, the first thing you have to do is realize it's not going to be easy. It's not easy. It's not easy. I get that. I get that it's not easy. I know it's difficult, but if you expect it to be easy, that's craziness because if it was easy, everybody would be in shape and everybody would be exercised every day. You'd see everybody going for a run every morning. Can you imagine what the outdoors would look like like that? It is really a select few of people that are going to do this and it's the people who understand that you have to go through some pain now but you're preventing pain later. What do I mean by that? Well, if I don't ever exercise, if I don't ever bend over and pick up weights, if I don't ever do a pull-up or a push-up or anything like that, at some point I'm going to need those muscles. Maybe I'm going to need to get out of my recliner and when I do, maybe I'll pull my back out or maybe I'm going to need to bend over and pick something up for one of the kids' toys and if my back's in bad shape, my legs are weak, maybe I fall down. Maybe I pull my back out there doing that. So what's going to happen is you're either going to keep yourself in shape now because good health is earned. Please understand that good health is earned. It's not anointed onto you, it's earned. So I'm going to either work out now and go through maybe an hour worth of pain a day, okay? And not have the other pains later on because later on I could get sick. I could get cancer and heart problems and obesity and all these things can pop up because I did an exercise. So that pain that you're avoiding, that one hour of exercise that you're avoiding is going to bring you years of pain later. So you really can't avoid pain and as soon as you realize you can't avoid pain, the better off you're going to be. Now you can choose pain. I can choose the pain of working out versus the pain of getting old and weak. I can choose that. That's my choice. But you're still going to have pain. That's part of life. Now you may be saying to yourself, well JR, how do I work this into my schedule? Because my schedule really is tight and I do understand that. There's nothing more important in your schedule than keeping yourself healthy. If you're not healthy and you're not strong and you're not doing the things you should for your body, ultimately everything else is going to go away because you're going to die. And I don't want to be really extreme about that but if you put on too much weight, you can have an early heart attack. You could die much sooner. So all these other things that you think are so very important. If you don't make time for exercise, then you're going to end up leaving the earth sooner or being infirmed and being in a bed or wheelchair or whatever the case may be. You have to do these things. Never mind the fact that you're going to feel good about yourself. When you exercise and when you get in shape and you look good and you feel good, you feel better about yourself mentally. And you feel better about yourself on different levels. You feel better about yourself because you're in shape. Obviously you can see that you're in shape but you also know that you went through some pain. You went through some difficulties. And going through that pain, that difficulty of exercise helps you in other parts of your life. You know, when I sit here and do these videos, you know, I was just talking to my wife about this. I was like, why does this seem so difficult? All I got to do is sit at a desk and talk to a camera. That's all I got to do is sit at a desk, talk to a camera. That's not difficult. And it's painful enough though to where a lot of people won't do it. A lot of people won't record videos for YouTube. They just won't do it. They know that they could make money. They know that they could make money off ads, affiliate links, courses they could sell. They know they could get a following and sell those people products. They know this, but they won't go through this little bit of pain. Now this little bit of pain is easy for me because I work out and I go, wait a second. This is not like doing 10 pull-ups. This is a lot easier doing 10 pull-ups. So when I'm out there exercising and it's really painful, when I come to something like this, I got it. I got it because this is much easier. This is a whole lot easier than the workout I have to do, the 100 push-ups I got to do. This is a whole lot easier. So the benefits of exercising will help you in so many other areas of your life, too. You'll be stronger. You'll be more mentally alert. What about that? What about the fact that you'll be more mentally alert? You'll be sharper. You'll be sharper than the next guy, okay? And if you're sharper than the next guy, maybe you make more money. Maybe you get more accomplished. Maybe you get more done. Now I can't tell you what your why is. You've got to figure that out, okay? Maybe it's to be around for your family. Maybe it's to be in shape. Maybe it's to be healthy. Maybe it's to be mentally sharper. I don't know what your why is. Everybody has a different why. But you've got to have one. You can't just go into exercise and say, I don't exercise because I know I should. Because you're going to quit, okay? I promise you you're going to quit. If you say, I'm going to exercise just because I know I should, you will not stick with it. You have to have a why. And you have to be able to pull out that why right when you think you don't want to exercise, okay? And if you schedule the exercise, it makes it a lot easier. Don't say, I'm going to work out tomorrow if there's time. If I got time, I'm going to go ahead and get on the bike. You know, if I've got enough time, then I'll go do some push-ups. You'll never have time, okay? Because your mind's going to fill your day with other stuff to do. It may be playing a video game. It may be scrolling through your Facebook feed. But it's going to find something else for you to do that is more enjoyable than exercise. Don't do that. Schedule it. Decide on your why and remind yourself every time you don't feel like doing it. And yeah, you're going to have to do this forever. You're not going to.. Don't make a goal. When I lose 20 pounds, I'm going to quit exercising. Because that's a silly goal. You always need to exercise. It's not bad to have a goal to lose 20 pounds. I'm not saying that. But I am saying that there's no end to this, okay? There's no finish line in life. There's no finish line in life until you die. Okay? I don't want to reach that. I'm not ready to reach that yet. So I don't think you are either. I hope you enjoyed this video.
