When it comes to fitness, I believe people tend to fall into three groups: those who are consistently active, those who start strong but lose momentum, and those who rarely engage in regular exercise. I often find myself wondering why someone would choose not to move their body, especially when the benefits are so tangible, that unbeatable post-workout high, sharper mental clarity and increased energy. With exercise being more accessible than ever from a brisk walk or a calming yoga flow to a short gym session, it’s surprising how many people remain inactive.
So, I ask: why don’t you work out?
The answer I hear most often is, “I just don’t have the time.”
But let’s talk about time for a moment. Time is a curious thing, it’s unclear whether it’s something we own, receive or constantly chase. The more I reflect on it, the more I believe that time is a kind of illusion, a luxury we feel we never quite have enough of. Whether it’s the hours we spend working toward a deadline or the minutes we try to squeeze from a day off, time always feels like it’s slipping through our fingers.
But here’s the truth: we do make time, just not always for the things that matter most. Think about it. Have you ever heard someone say, “I don’t have time to brush my teeth” or “I didn’t have time to get dressed”? Of course not. These are non-negotiable parts of our daily routine. We don’t question them and we don’t track the minutes. We just do them.
So, why isn’t exercise the same? Why do we treat it like an optional extra, rather than a fundamental part of our self-care?
What if movement became as ingrained as brushing your teeth, a daily ritual we simply do, without assigning a time value to it? What if it became part of your rhythm, your identity, your nature?
When exercise is part of your lifestyle, it’s no longer something you need to find time for, it’s something you just make space for, effortlessly. The benefits are undeniable. When something serves your body, mind and overall well-being in such a powerful way, it deserves to be prioritized just like any other essential habit.
