Why “I Don’t Have Time” Is Holding You Back: Coach Cam’s Proven Strategy for Busy Parents
Oct 24, 2024
In his latest video, The Truth About Time: Why It’s Not Really What’s Holding You Back From Losing Fat, Coach Cam dives deep into a common challenge for busy parents—feeling like there’s no time to prioritize fitness. His mission? To help parents reclaim their energy, confidence, and sense of identity through simple, effective strategies.
Time Isn’t the Issue
Many believe they don’t have time for workouts, meal prep, or tracking nutrition. Coach Cam breaks this myth, explaining that it’s not about time—it’s about mindset and priorities. Busy parents often juggle work, carpool, and family time, leaving little room for themselves. However, by focusing on what matters and making small sacrifices, anyone can find time for fitness.
Small Sacrifices, Big Payoffs
Coach Cam acknowledges that tracking calories or hitting the gym will never be as relaxing as sitting on the couch. But the benefits—more energy, mental clarity, and better health—far outweigh the short-term comfort of relaxing. Cam shares that it's all about deciding what's more important: making today easier or setting yourself up for a better future. This shift in perspective is key to staying consistent.
The Strategy
The strategy is simple: understand your “why.” Whether it’s hitting 10,000 steps or tracking protein goals, knowing the reason behind your actions can make the process more rewarding and sustainable. Cam emphasizes focusing on calories and protein rather than restrictive diets like keto. Why? Protein keeps you fuller, balances blood sugar, and supports fat loss. Carbs and fats, when balanced, give you the energy and hormone function needed to thrive.
Making Time and Overcoming Mental Blocks
Coach Cam also discusses how to break free from the mental roadblocks that tell you there's no time. For most people, the “extra time” needed to exercise or meal prep comes from reclaiming moments of relaxation. But by viewing fitness as an investment in a better tomorrow, those moments become more valuable than the instant gratification of downtime.
The Final Takeaway
The key isn’t just time management—it’s reframing fitness as a long-term investment in your energy, confidence, and future health. Coach Cam’s personal journey of losing 85 lbs with the same strategies is a testament to the effectiveness of this mindset shift.
