Time enough to exercise
“I don’t have time”, “I don’t like it”, “It’s too hard”
How many of us have used excuses (like me) to avoid exercise. Many of the National Health Organizations (listed to the right of this page) request that we perform at least 15 minutes of exercise three times per week. At the minimum.
Personally, I usually walk 30-45 minutes a day (its a mile and a quarter around my neighborhood), but lately, i’ve been to lazy (yes, I admit it) to do anything. (It’s too cold, it’s too rainy, it’s to cold and rainy, etc).
Jeff Wilson, over on 451 Press’s “Men’s Interests”, tackles this issue head on with two posts on ‘Fifteen Minute Fitness”. In his first part, Fifteen Minute Fitness I, he discusses something I haven’t heard of, Hindu Squats, then push-ups and finally Shadow Boxing. In his second part, Fifteen Minute Fitness II, he encourages jumping rope with a few variations on a theme.
With so many ways to get in our ‘15 minutes three times a week’ such as those touted by Jeff, there really is no excuse.
