Just a few minutes a day can have a dramatic impact on your health. Many people get stuck into a kind of mode of thinking where they decide that if they don't do a certain amount for a certain number of days, then they are wasting their time. This is such a big mistake in thinking. That's like running a business and saying that if you don't work for 10 hours per day, 7 days per week then you might as well not be working. It's just not true. What happens with that line of thinking is that the person will inevitably either get discouraged or tired of trying and slack off terribly or they go back to never working out at all. If we, and trainers, get into placing legalistic rules on every person for what they MUST do in order to get fit, then most will fall into this trap of discouragement and apathy. The right way to train is to determine how much time you, personally, would like to spend each day and how many days per week you are willing to commit for a life time! This is at least a great start. There is always room for improvement later. But, for more than 2/3rds of Americans, doing something each day would be a dramatic improvement in their lifestyle!
I've always said, "Doing something is better than doing nothing at all."
