Workout Dilemma HELP!
Hello Everyone. I hope all is well. I am having a problem because I try to work out during the weekdays after work, except Friday. Well often times my teenage mentor needs to stay the night and the gym wants to charge 10 bucks each time she comes. Well Tuesday I just didn't go. I am a single mom and I can not pay that. I mean I feel like no one should stand in the way of my workout...but being a single mom this teenager is also the one who babysits for me when I need it (paid of course). What do I do?
You're in a tough situation and good for you in being persistent and not letting things stand in your way! We all have to work with what we have. Can I suggest an alternate strategy that you may not have thought of?
You work at a job everyday, and you get an hour for lunch yes?
This is a perfect time for exercise. I started using my lunch tme to go for a brisk 40 minute walk everyday, and lost all my excess weight from that alone! Well, that and cutting back on the junk food.
Now I have done it everyday for 2 years and realize it's the perfect exercise and would be perfect some people who have a hard time fiting exercise into their schedule. Think about it and if you are interested, there are beginner, advanced, and expert fitness walking routines you can do to challenge yourself.

Hmmm tricky? How often does your mentee come over? Can you get her after you work out? Can you make those days a walk in the park day?

Well she comes over often..its not a planned thing. I pick her up right after work because that is when she gets out of school down the road. Walking could work but when I am with another person it is more like a slow stroll....I can not pretend to be a work out junkie by any means ...but when i really have my mind set on going. I really need to go!
