HOW OFTEN DO WE USE THE EXCUSE OF LACK OF TIME FOR OUR LACK OF
EXERCISE? SHORTER DAYS AND DARK EVENINGS TEND TO ACCENTUATE
THIS DILEMMA AND WEEKS CAN GO BY BEFORE WE REALISE THAT WE HAVE
BEEN CODDLED UP ON THE SOFA PROMISING TO MAKE MORE OF AN
EFFORT ‘TOMORROW’. SOUND FAMILIAR?

Fitness expert Jessie Pavelka is here to tell us that lack of time is not a valid
excuse, and in fact he advocates a variety of strategies which if practiced
can improve fitness, general wellbeing and overall emotional health.

Jessie tells us:
Time is something that many of the people I talk to see as an obstacle to
keeping fit. I understand that. I probably use it myself in other areas of my
life. But to me, keeping myself and my family fit and healthy comes at the
top of my list. After all, what have you got in life if you don’t have your
health? My view is that it has to come at the very top of the list.

Later this year, Jessie is publishing his first book in the UK, The Programme
(published by Little Brown) which outlines the first few weeks required to
achieve a new approach to lifelong health and wellness. He is also spreading
his message of health and vitality at a variety of locations on his UK tour,
including Maidstone, Kent on the 15th February.

However, I also understand that people lead busy, stressful lives, so here
are some ideas to overcome the excuses and put a strategic plan in place.
