Time to Tone

What would you do if you had an extra hour in a day? Eat, sleep, watch television, get some more work done? How about fit in an exercise routine?
There are plenty of things in the universe that will make sure you do not move a bone. For instance, the barking dogs kept you up all night, you had a bad dream, the hubby is still rolling over in bed, your metabolism has kicked in this morning, your alarm did not go off (classic!), it’s Wednesday, period. The list is endless and ridiculous. However if you were to time yourself you would realize that exercise does not take too long and if you actually stuck to the routine, the results come fast.

Therefore make time to tone. We are not asking for more than 30 minutes per day. Still too much? How about 15 minutes? That is possible, let’s be honest. What can you do in 15 minutes, you ask? Pick your exercise – 5 minutes to great abs, 8 minutes to sculpted arms, 3 minutes to toned legs etc. Then assign days to these exercises right from Monday to Friday. Next pick songs you would exercise to – peppy, dance numbers.


Get a yoga mat, weights (if you have any) and set that devious alarm on the phone every night before you go to sleep. The trick to motivate yourself is to keep everything ready for the next morning. If you wake up groggy and then have to arrange for these little things to prep your “exercise routine”, you will get demotivated on Day 3.

The important thing to remember is to make a routine and follow it. Keep it easy and simple and gradually progress to a strenuous regime. Remember, timing is everything!
