“The first step is truly taking the time to figure out your why, what, and how.
The questions I ask my clients are:Whyare you adding fitness and wellness into your life now?
Inwhatways will your life be different when you have fitness in your life on a regular basis?
Andhoware you going to include fitness into your lifestyle today, and this week?
Once you know the why, what, and how, the mindset is ‘just do it.’
Nike got it right with that one.
Try starting with three days a week, and schedule it into your week like a doctor’s appointment.
You want to verify you are working yourself into shape safely and effectively.
Then, after week four, try adding another 30 minutes every other week.
You’ll be surprised how empowered you’ll feel!
Having friends, family, and coworkers that exercise with you’re free to help you to persevere.
make a run at find workout buddies to do healthy things together.
So selecting thecorrect shoesfor your workout is important: For instance, tennis shoes are built for lateral movements.
The key is to be persistent and keep moving forward.
Take time to stretch after your workout, and take rest days.
There’s plenty of time to build and progress.
My other tips: Go into your new venture with a fun, can-do mentality.
Stay hydrated, and get yourself on a good nutrition planyou need proper fuel in your body to succeed.
Too often people skip foundational exercises for workouts that look cool and are trendy.
Mastering the basics truly takes time, so dont rush through.
Keep trying, and with every workout youll get better and better.
Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection.
And in a group environment, dont compare yourself to anyone else in the room.
While others may move seamlessly and appear to have superhuman strength, remember that they were once beginners too.
Dont compare your chapter one to someone elses chapter eleven.

“Focus on the feels.
Remember, even as a newbie, youre only one workout away from a good mood.
Workouts are much more fun if they make sense.
That goes along with my motto: train smarter, not harder.”
There’s no better feeling than accomplishing that goal.
Trust methat’s how I got into fitness!
Lay your clothes out the night before or pack your bag.
Sign up for classes or a trainer at the beginning of the week and put it in your calendar.
You could also sign up for a racethis gives you a specific training time frame.
I know I can commit to things when there is a clear start and end date.
And remember to enjoy the process.
Getting too caught up in where you want to be can rob you of your joy, today.
And that just sucks.
Happiness isn’t something that should be reserved for some imagined future.
Your body is an absolutely amazing thing.
Take a few moments, every day, to appreciate that.
Believe or not, that simple gratitude can help you create the strongest body of your life.
