Excuse: Too Busy to Walk
This green goblin of an excuse infests most homes. Work, school, cooking, cleaning, shopping, kids, laundry - there isn't enough time to do everything.
Bust it:
•
Commit to a walking time: put it on your calendar, in your day planner, set your alarm clock.
•
Invite Others: Invite your family or housemates to join you but make clear that this time is for walking and exercise, nothing else.
•
Work walking into your chores: Instead of stopping on the way home from work or driving there, I walk to the market and post office and carry things back in a backpack.
•
Leave the beeper at home: If you carry a cell phone for safety, turn it off to incoming calls.
•
Sneak walking into a busy day: walk during your breaks and lunch at work, or go off for a quick walk at home while a pot is stewing. Although it is best to walk for a half hour or more, sneaking in a couple of 10-15 minute walks burns calories and gets you into the habit.
