When it comes to fitness, there is no good time to start. Life is always going to throw you curve balls that will give you an excuse to not exercise or start at a later date. However, life is just going to get busier and give you more excuses to not do it. So, instead of waiting for the "perfect time" just start now. Take the first step into creating a routine and get started now. This isn't to say that you need to fall in love with fitness or exercise, but you should find something that you typically enjoy so that being active doesn't feel like a chore. Even if you find something that you only enjoy a little bit, the more you do it, the more you will enjoy it and make it a habit.
Often times, people think that we need to be the most well-rested, energized version of ourselves to get in a good workout. But, in reality, we will feel more energized and rested after getting in a good workout. So, instead of pushing it off because you are tired or stressed, use that as your reason for going to workout. You may be surprised by how much better you feel after getting in some physical activity. Sometimes, the motivation for exercise is more long-term goals such as looking good for a vacation next summer or lower your blood pressure to help reduce your risk of disease. However, if we remember the more immediate benefits of exercise, like increased energy and improved mood, it may help to get us to the gym or outside to go for a run.
If you want to live a long, healthy life with a properly functioning brain, heart and organs, then exercise needs to be a part of your weekly routine. So, make the decision to start now, rather than keep pushing it off to tomorrow, next month or next year.
