Current Events > Arnold says if you have 1 hour a day to spare, you can work out.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tbf if you have an hour a day to play video games, watch TV, read, etc then you probably do have an hour a day to work out. Whether or not you have the drive to is a completely separate thing.

Thing is that exercising does give you more energy. Also what you eat makes a whole lot of difference. A balance meal will help you avoid big sugar spikes and crashes that make you feel sleepy later on. Also avoiding coffee since its robbing you of your future energy.

People make up so many excuses to not do basic exercise, it's fucking insane

Also this

Everyone (within reason now, obviously I'm not telling someone on their death bed to go do squats, although that would kick ass) should workout because it's objectively healthy for you.

But again, I don't usually phrase it like that because the fitness community is often obnoxious as hell and being condescending to the gen pop is a big turn-off to people.

Agreed

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

i mean for the sake of your own health it does kinda end up having to be a mind over matter thing sometimes. i know you don't want to do it. but you know that you should.

What do I care what that football-head says?

I walked for an hour today

Make it part of your schedule, not something you have to fit into your schedule. It's just something you do, like showering or eating, not something you need to make time for.

Ask most people who go to the gym or work out regularly when they do it, they'll tell you generally the same time every day. Either in the morning before they start their day, after work, maybe after they've finished all their other home duties but before bed, whatever. It's usually the same time every day. That helps.

It really only takes an hour, and some of the busiest people in the world find a way to spend time exercising. If you can't do it then you're likely making excuses and/or just not being smart with your time. Maybe you don't know what to do, but if that's the case then youtube is your friend. If you were given only one car to use for the rest of your life, you can bet that you'd take care of it. Why not treat your body the same way? I've been there, I used to be super lazy and unmotivated (and fat), but I also know that during that time I was making excuses and finding every reason or justification not to work out. But I was living in pain every day from being weak. If you never move and you find that you have soreness in areas, I can guarantee you the way to fix it is not to continue resting lol unless you're so far gone that surgery is the answer. But usually some sort of yoga or light movements (aka physical therapy) will get you sorted on the right track. "Use it or lose it" is true.

And if you're not interested in being jacked, don't worry. You won't just wake up one day accidentally looking like Arnold. But your body will feel better from just 3 or 4 days a week - and eating right, but that's a whole other set of paragraphs. Speaking of Arnold, I remember a quote (and I'm paraphrasing) where somebody said to him "I would never want to look like you" and he responded with "don't worry, you never will."

Meh, can't gains, gotta game.
