Pocket Sized Fit Life: A 1 Hour Workout is 4% of your day....no excuses!

Last night I rushed home from work and headed over to the gym. I was determined to get a workout in before the Heat game. I was at the gym for 50 minutes and left sweating and I'm sore today.

There are days that I do spend a long time at the gym, but it's because those are days that I want to take my time. I feel that people really believe that they must spend hours at the gym in order to get into shape. Not true!

The key is to walk into the gym focused with a plan. If a machine is taken, do some push ups until the machine is free. Last night I saw a lady doing jumping jacks in between her sets on the leg press machine. You should be able to get in and out within an hour. It is all about intensity and how much effort you are putting in during your session. If you are going to make the effort and go to the gym....make it count. Walking into a gym isn't going to get you in shape...doing work will.
