It would be so much easier to exercise every day if life just cooperated a little more. But, most of us will face times when we can't exercise and even the most devoted exerciser will eventually have to abandon his workout routine for any number of reasons. Illness, moving, having a baby, getting married, out-of-town guests...these things and more will happen at some point and, as a result you may find your exercise routine going right out the window. The trick isn't necessarily in avoiding these situations but in learning how to keep going in spite of them.

If you find yourself a long way from your workouts, wondering how to get back on track, there is a way to make the road back a little easier.
