10 Simple Ways to Sneak Exercise Into Your Day

(Without having to make extra time for it!!)



The NUMBER 1 excuse I get when someone shows interest in starting a workout routine or joining one of my fitness challenge groups is….any guesses??
"I don’t have time to workout."

Now, the first thought that comes to mind when I hear this: I can understand where they are coming from, because I felt the EXACT same way before I found what worked for me and for making exercise a daily part of my life. We have so many distractions and time consuming demands coming at us every day that is it easy to feel overwhelmed and like it would be impossible to fit one more thing into your day – like working out.

Why you Gain Weight at the Start of a New Exercise Program!! ANSWERED by Chalene Johnson!


One of the most common topics (issue-not-issue) I get asked about. It happens almost like clock work when a new workout program is started - someone messages me concerned and wanting to give up because they have GAINED ___lbs in the first week or 2! Today I want to put this worry to rest. You all know the great Chalene Johnson. If you don't, she a celebrity trainer and creator of Turbo fire, Turbo Jam, Chalene Extreme, PiYo.........She KNOWS her stuff! Here is the answer to one of the most commonly asked fitness questions/puzzles around! 

SHE WRITES:


"Probably the most common question I get when I release a new exercise program is, "Help! I'm gaining weight! Am I doing something wrong?" This is a common phenomenon with any new exercise program, such as Turbo Kick, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Hustle, or others! It's especially common (and temporary) with intense strength training programs like ChaLEAN Extreme or Tony Horton's P90X.
