Habit is Everything

If you have a busy schedule, you know that the only way you get things done is to have a schedule, and do the same things at the same time every day. (And if you don't have a schedule...and are constantly late to meetings, forgetting to do stuff, and always behind...well...that's the reason. You must live to a schedule. A schedule isn't a straight-jacket, it's a tool that allows you to get the most out of life.

Take your weight training schedule.

You must work out 15 minutes a day, every Monday, Wednesday or Friday - or whatever every-other-day works for you.

You must work out at a time of day when you have the most energy and the desire to use it.

So if you try to work out first thing in the morning, but skip your scheduled session every other time because you just don't have the energy...well...think about moving the session to before or after lunch, after you get home from work, or even last thing at night.

Everyone's body clock is different. Some people are early risers, some night people who have to get up early because of having to take kids to school or go to work, just kind of putz around for a couple of hours until their bodily clock kicks in and starts giving them energy.  So it's important that you know when you are at your most energetic (and it will be the same times every day) and that's when you should do your exercisig.

If you never have any energy, well, something''s wrong. Make sure you're eating right - getting all your fruits and vegetables and protein and vitamins. What's your mood like? Do you feel depressed all the time (as opposed to just a day or so?) That could be a sign of clinical depression - which requires medical treatment. You can not snap out of clinical depression on your own, so don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about it.
