We all have a million excuses as to why we can't exercise.

"I have no time," or "I'm too tired," or "I have an injury." etc etc. The list goes on and on...

In the past few months I have been ridden with injuries. First it was my mid-back. Then I had sciatica in my butt cheek. Then I got shingles! So....it has been one thing after another. And being injured makes you tired and lethargic. Devin keeps telling me I'm falling apart.

My point is...even though I was battling numerous issues, I still worked out. I just modified my exercises.

My back is still sore so I've been lifting light weights for any shoulder/back exercises. I have added in extra heavy leg ones. I am being really careful about my form, and speed. I have built a workout that still allows me to burn massive calories, but protects my sore spots.

You have to work with your health issues. Seeking the professional help of a personal trainer can help you work through your aches and pains. A good personal trainer will develop a program suited just for you and your body type.

And sometimes you need a little inspiration! When I tell myself I don't feel like it, I think about Michelle getting out of bed at 5:30 in the morning to go for a run before work. The I say to myself, "If she can do it, I can do it!"

The word "excuse" means; an explanation offered to justify or obtain forgiveness.

Don't let excuses ruin your diet and exercise goals!
