This one is for all my busy and tired parents out there...

As I've grown older there is a phrase I have learned to hate.

"We all have the same 24 hours in a day"

No...we do not lol

At all.

You hear this a lot from young fitness influencers that live at home, have no bills, no family and no mortgage when trying to explain to people that they "just need to prioritize their fitness more"

Honestly I probably said this at some point back in the day...

And I'd love to go smack younger me in the face for saying it.

Sure...we all have 24 hours in a day.

But they are not created equally.

The dad working 10 hour shifts every day to put food on the table...

Or the single mom working 2 jobs to keep a roof over her head...

Does NOT have the same 24 hours in a day as the young fitness influencer.

Or hell...even the same 24 hours as I do!

I work from home most of the time. I have no kids (yet). And doing a workout in many cases can be considered work for me.

I'm very fortunate.

So please don't compare yourself to me or Joe Shmo influencer 123 or anyone else for that matter who isn't in a similar situation as you.

There are people in Project Bellplex that explain their schedules of long shifts and multiple kids and I wonder how they manage to muster up the energy to get workouts in at all!

Let alone 4x a week.

Those are the real badasses.

The real people to look up to.

And the ones I want to emulate when my son is here.

Because those are the people who truly maximize their 24 hours.

That is all for today.

Chat Soon,

PD

P.S. This isn't me justifying your excuses. This doesn't mean "I'm busy and tired so I'm never going to workout" is ok. This means "I'm busy and tired so maybe my workouts look different for a period of time" - HUGE difference between the 2.
