Whether it’s St Patrick’s Day, another holiday, the weekend, crunch time at work or you’re
busy with kids (or all of the above...) there’s always a rationale for putting exercise
last. You, however, are not like many other people; You are FXB!
The goal of living at level 10 is to make exercise a priority even
when you've got a dozen other things to do.
Schedule weekly workouts into your day planner or phone calendar—it’s helpful and reminds you that you should reserve those times for
exercise for yourself. This helps you be a stronger and better version of yourself. We
invest our time in many things during a given day, but making time for fitness
and health should be among the top of all of our lists. We all have to make
this decision very often, whether to go work out or do “something else” (insert
a million different things here). If you’re prone to skipping exercise when
life gets busy, you might need to give yourself a stronger push in the right direction.
To set a precedent for exercise, try these steps for making fitness a priority
in your busy life:
Identify and be honest with yourself about the most optimal time for you to exercise. Your best bet is to exercise whenever your busy day allows
it, and that is why we offer so many class times. Get in, get moving and get your
workout done for the day. The more successful you feel about sticking to your
workouts, the more you’ll want to keep up with that rewarding behavior.
Buddy up FXB Style. When you've got one or more friends cheering you on (or an
entire class) and expecting you to show up and exercise with them, you’re less
likely to blow off the workout. You wouldn't want to stand up a friend or miss
out on the social time of exercising together.
Visualize! Take a minute to close your eyes or envision yourself getting your workout done and remember how good that feels. Envision yourself walking out the door, after a hard workout, your face smiling, ready to move on with the rest of your day. We always say, "You'll NEVER regret coming for your workout!"
Remember that we are all here! We are all here to support and encourage you. This is what
makes us so different. For those of you that are new and will be attending the
10-week party you will see what we mean when we say we are an FXB family. We
support and encourage each other every day and celebrate your success!
