No Time For Your Bodybuilding Routine?

Time Is a major factor in your bodybuilding routine. It can cause you to focus your thought elsewhere, instead of your training. Your mind wanders onto something else while you perform a set of curls. Your thinking --

"Yep, I need to get this done later. Oh! What about that other thing I've got goin' on? Right, I'll finish up here quickly and get it done".

Get the idea?

Do you ever find yourself having a conversation in your head, all while you're performing your training routine?

Time waits for no man It can interfere, especially when you don't have enough of it. It's often difficult to get the time to train, or do other things in your life. You can explain it anyway you like. But there's no getting away from the fact --

Everybody, Everywhere, Only Has 24 Hours A Day.

"So, how come others manage and I can't?" I hear you say. "Obviously they don't have as much to do as I have."

Like I said, we all have the same amount of time. Here's another comparison for you:

Look at rich people. They only have 24 hours in a day too. Yet they're still rich and others are working and are living on the bread line. That's a little extreme, I know.

But, do you get what I'm saying here?

Here’s what it boils down to --

Time Management: In this scenario 'Time Management' is the key to your bodybuilding routine, and your life too. If you don't manage your time properly, you're setting yourself up for a fall.

If You Fail To Plan - You Plan To Fail.

So, just how do you manage your time properly?

By allotting a certain amount of time per activity in your life. For each task, job or item you have to do in your life everyday, you must allot a certain amount of time to each one.

Don't just do this for your bodybuilding routine. Look at your life right now. Determine how much you actually do with each day. Write it down, including your bodybuilding routine.

Then count the number of activities you do on a daily basis. Once you've done this, determine how much time you can afford to all of these activities in a day.

Divide the time you have available between all the activities you need to do. Give a little more time to the things you place more importance on such as, your bodybuilding routine.

Then create a schedule around this. It's that simple. My suggestion is that you write those activities down and allot a certain amount of time to each one. The total time for all ativities combined shouldn't exceed the time you have available each day.
