“I Don’t Have Time to Work Out” – Let’s Be Honest

Let’s cut through the noise.

“I’m too busy.”
“My job is just insane right now.”
“I’ve got grandkids to watch.”
“I have too much on my plate.”

We’ve heard it all before—and if we’re being honest, we’ve all said it at some point.

But here’s the truth: it’s not about time. It’s about priorities.

If you had a health emergency tomorrow, you’d find time to sit in a waiting room.

If your child or grandchild was in trouble, you’d drop everything and be there.

So why is your health—the thing that literally determines your ability to do any of those things—so easy to put off?

Let’s be real:

You have time.

You're scrolling Facebook.
You're watching Netflix.
You’re making time for drive-thrus and DoorDash.

But somehow, you can’t find 25 minutes a few times a week to take care of your body?

The Problem Isn’t Time. It’s Honesty.

Saying “I don’t have time” makes you feel validated. It’s the perfect excuse. It protects you from the guilt of not showing up for yourself. But here’s the deal—it’s just not true.

And if you keep saying it long enough, you’ll eventually believe it… until the day your body gives you no choice. When your knees ache, your energy tanks, or your doctor delivers bad news—you’ll wish you’d made the time.

So what’s really going on?

For some, it’s fear of failure. For others, it’s self-doubt. And for many, it’s just not painful enough yet. But pretending you don’t have the time? That’s not helping you. That’s setting you up for a future you don’t want.

Own It.

If you’re not ready, that’s okay.

But stop saying you don’t have time. Just say it like it is:

“I’m not prioritizing my health right now.”
“I’m choosing convenience over consistency.”
“I’m okay living with low energy, weight gain, and the long-term risks.”

At least that’s honest.

But if that doesn't sit right with you—if you do want to feel better, live longer, and show up stronger for the people you love—then it's time to stop negotiating with your health.

You don’t need hours in the gym. You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight.

You just need to show up, stay consistent, and stop lying to yourself.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to start.
