To Begin

Published by steppinitup under Beginning Edit This

Everything has a beginning. The same applies to the day you decide to finally get fit. It’s the beginning of a new life, a new body, and new you.

Yet, beginnings can be scary and often times we are held captive by our fear of change. There are many ways that we will sabotage the beginning of a healthy lifestyle. Perhaps you’ve heard or even thought these same excuses:

“I’m too busy to exercise.”

“The gym is full of super models. There is no way I’m going to workout there! Not with this body!”

“I’m just so tired.”

“I don’t have the right shoes or workout clothes.”

“I can’t afford it.”

Are any of these familiar? In my lifetime I know I have uttered all of these. I’ve felt the strong pull of the Doritos’s bag and my comfy faux-suede sofa. I know how hard it is to lace up your walking shoes and walk in the rain and the heat.

I also know how great it feels to finally get off that sofa and throw the bag of chips away. It’s empowering!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Why don’t you join me and let’s get fit, over 40 and  beyond, together.
