Conversations: Exercise Time

#Exercise #Spring
(original message draft: 2015)

"I do not have enough time to exercise."
"Why, do you say that?"
"Well, I work, coomute, am tired when I get home, and I don'y want to miss Empire"..."Have you seen it? It..."
"I bet you do have time."
"No, I really do not."
"Yes, you do. Watch or listen."

"There are 168 hours in a week. The minimum...MINIMUM... exercise requirement per week is 150 minutes or 2.5 hours. Let's break down your schedule:
How many hours per week do you work______?
How long is your round trip commute on average per week_____?
How long does it take you to get ready________?
How long does it take you to fix breakfast for yourself or if you have kids______?
If you go to church, how many hours per week do you spend at church, including traveling and ministry meetings, in prayer etc. ______? 
If you belong to other activities, how long do you typiccaly attend them, including travel time _______?
How mnay hours of TV do you watch per week______?
Ho wmany hours of sleep do you get per night ________?

"Add up all of the hours. If you exceed 168 hours, then redo it. However, if you are around 160 hours, then, guess what? You have plenty of time to get in effective exercise per week even if you are occupied for 165 hours. With three hours to spare that is time to reach the minimum number of exercise hours per week."

"What do you think?"

"What can I do in three hours?"

"Good question...you can split your routine and do three 60-minute sessions. You can even do about six 30-minute sessoins....if are you moving and focused, then a lot of activity can be accomplished in 30 minutes.
