“I don’t have time.”
I hear that all the time.
And I get it. Life is busy.
Work is busy.
Kids are busy.
There’s always another project, another deadline, another thing that needs your attention.
PJ gets it too.
He builds high-end homes. He’s on job sites, in his truck taking calls, managing people, raising kids with his wife, running a side business, and now he’s got a TV show coming up on NESN.
He’s not sitting around with a bunch of free time.
He makes time.
That’s the part people miss.
You don’t just magically find extra hours in the week. You decide this matters enough to put it on the calendar.
Because your health is not some side project.
Training helps you deal with stress. It clears your head. It gives you more energy. It makes you better at your job, better at home, better for the people around you.
And honestly, this is something I had to learn the hard way.
When I worked at Microsoft, I can’t tell you how many “top priority” projects we had.
Everything was urgent.
Everything had to be done now.
We’d stay late, pull all-nighters, stress ourselves out, sacrifice sleep, skip workouts, all of it.
Then a few weeks or months later?
The project would get cut.
Just gone.
All that stress and sacrifice for something that didn’t even matter anymore.
That woke me up.
Because work priorities change. Projects disappear. Deadlines come and go.
But your body doesn’t go away.
Your health doesn’t stop mattering.
You still have to live in that body. You still have to show up for your family. You still have to be able to handle what life throws at you.
That’s why we train.
Not because we have nothing else going on.
Because we do.
And fitness helps us do all of it better.
Make the time.
