According to Joan Price, MA, fitness motivator, public speaker, and author of The Anytime, Anywhere Exercise Book, the most common excuse not to exercise is, “I don’t have time.” Well, she asks, do you have time to be sick or disabled? Probably not. “Exercise gives you energy. It doesn’t take it away. You gain time — you can do everything else you need to do more quickly and with a clearer head.” Price points out that you don’t need a big expedition to the gym or an all-day bike ride. “You can accumulate exercise minutes,” she says, “not do it in one big chunk.”
