"I don't have time to exercise." "Then, do you not brush your teeth?"

"I don't have time to exercise."

Some people say that.
To those people, I would like to ask.

"Then, do you not brush your teeth?"

You have time to brush your teeth.
If so, you can do squats during that time.

"I can't do squats while brushing my teeth."

You might think that.
Well then,

"Do you not watch TV?"

If you have time to watch TV, you can do sit-ups during that time.
If you don't like that either,

"Do you not look at your smartphone?"

If you have time to look at your smartphone, you can do push-ups before or after that.

Of course,

"Don't watch TV"
"Stop using your smartphone"

is not what I am saying.

You can watch TV.
You can look at your smartphone.
You can brush your teeth.

However, you can incorporate exercise into a portion of that time.

What I want to say here is,
is it necessary to create new, dedicated time just for exercise?

That is what I mean.

When people think of exercise, they think of:
Changing into workout clothes.
Securing a space.
Exercising for 30 minutes.

They think of it as something that requires a block of time like that.

If you think that way, it is natural for busy people to say they "don't have time to exercise."
Because it is difficult to create such time anew every day.
But, there is no need to limit exercise to "time spent only on exercise."

You should just incorporate exercise into the time you already have.

Squats while brushing your teeth.
Sit-ups while watching TV.
Push-ups while using your smartphone.
You don't have to do all of them.

Just one of them is fine.
The important thing is,

"Isn't there 30 minutes of free time?"

not to look for that,
but to think, "What can I fit into the time I already have?"
is the way to go.

Saying "I don't have time to exercise"
might actually mean
"I don't have time to do only exercise."

Even if you don't have a 30-minute gap,
you have time to brush your teeth.
You have time to watch TV.
You have time to look at your smartphone.
You just need to turn a part of that into exercise.

Don't try to make time; instead, layer exercise onto your existing time.

When you think about it that way, the problem of "not having time to exercise" starts to look a little different.
