NEVER NOT ENOUGH TIME TO WORKOUT

I used to be one of those people who thought that I could not exercise because I didn't have the time.  This is something that many people say. Perhaps they even believe it as I once did. According to multiple sources, Americans spend more than three hours per day watching television. The nice thing about watching television is that one can watch AND workout at the same time. Most people prefer to sit on the couch with a bag of chips. That description would have perfectly described me for much of my life. Yesterday was getaway day from Ohio as I needed to return to Chicago. I had a three hour visit with a customer in Chillicothe, Ohio and then I had a seven hour road trip back home. Although yesterday would have been a good day for me to schedule a day off from exercise - my exercise addiction did not allow it.  Instead, I set my alarm for 4:30AM, put on my workout clothes, checked out of my hotel and drove 15 minutes to the nearest YMCA and arrived prior to their opening at 5:30AM.  By 5:35AM I was pedaling on the AMT elliptical machine. The fitness room was quite active - there had to be at least 10 others getting an early fitness start to their day. After my workout, I showered, I shaved and I still had to drive 90 minutes to my appointment. I successfully squeezed in a two-hour workout before my 10:00AM meeting. It is a great way to start a day, with a two-hour workout under my belt. The conclusion is that there is never not enough time to workout.  (Yeah, I know that using double negatives is improper English - so you don't have to bother not telling me.)
