When told to exercise more or exercise regularly, most people would say “I don’t have time to exercise” or “I am too busy to exercise”.

Indeed, we are all busy. We are busy with our schoolwork, our jobs and endless housework. Students have a lot of homework to do after school, and many of them even have to go to cram schools(补习班). Nine—to—fivers often have to work late for urgent(紧急的)projects. As for housewives, they can’t even take a rest until having all the housework done and putting everyone else to bed. No one seems to be able to squeeze(挤)time out of our busy schedule to exercise.

But, how about getting up a little earlier so you can go jogging for 30 minutes? How about getting off the bus one or two stops earlier and walking to your school or company? How about taking the office stairs instead of a lift? How about getting away from your TV or your keyboard or your mobile phone right now to do yoga or Pilates? You know, in fact it’s not whether you have time for it or not, but whether you want to do it or not. As the saying goes, “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”

Stop finding ourselves excuses. Let’s get active from now on! And we might as well try to talk our friends and family into getting active with us, because exercising is always more fun when you are with someone else. Also, you’ll be happier if all the people you love and care about are healthy.
