Overcoming Difficulties

I've noticed that I have days where I really want to work out, but I'm just so tired. Long days at work, lots of running around, whatever the reason I have a hard time pushing myself to work out. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But I try to at least do something, even if its just 2 sets of 10 push ups, or a couple sets of crunches, anything to at least burn a couple calories and make me feel like I didn't waste a day. Other days I would shorten my workout from 1 hour to 20 minutes. A good set of DVDs to do this are "The Biggest Loser" dvds, they are customizable to how long you want them, and you can do a 5 minute warm up, 10 minute work out, and 5 minute cool down. Its enough to make it feel like you did something worth while but not so long that you drain yourself. It is also a good thing for if you are running out of time or just need to fit in a quick workout. The point is to do something, anything to get yourself moving, if its taking your dogs for a walk or going window shopping at the mall, but speed walking while doing it, or swimming. Anything that will keep you moving that day to help out with the exhaustion that seems to happen every so often.
