Fitness: What will prevent you from exercising regularly?

I don't know how I'm going to find the time to exercise
  1. Break your exercise up throughout the day (eg: morning walk and evening weight training)
  2. Take planned breaks to exercise
    -Short walk, run stairs, etc.
  3. Commit to a specific amount of time and stick to it
    -Consider exercising in the morning before you start your day
    -Consider exercising during your lunch break, eat something immediately afterwards
    -Establish a set routine after work that allows more time for exercise
  4. Pack your workout bag and have it ready before the next day
    -place it in your car or by the door
  5. Get things done during physical activity in schedule
    -Bike for transportation
    -Park further away and walk
    -Walk to store
    -On cardio machines (eg cycling)
  6. Exercise instead of watching TV
    -Better yet, watch TV or listen to the radio while you are exercising
  7. Consult a trainer to assist you in purchasing a home gym
  8. If you get so busy you may forget to exercise, set reoccurring alarms or notices to exercise during your scheduled time
    -handheld PDA, computer, or watch
  9. Understand "I don't have enough time to exercise" is just another excuse
    -even the busiest professionals such as doctors and lawyer (even those with families) find time to exercise and eat right
    -make exercise and eating right a priority!
    -Understand you will more productive if you exercise regularly
