Does it feel like you have more things to do than you have hours in a day? Is sticking to a fitness plan more difficult the older and busier you get? Then here is one simple tip you should know to help you stay on the right track:

Schedule your daily workouts on a calendar.

That's right, pencil in your hour long gym session before Junior's softball game and after your late lunch meeting with your boss. Once you acknowledge that your fitness is just as important as all the other things you are juggling, you'll find it easier to carve out a little time for yourself.
