Exercise...Make it part of your daily routine

The recipe to success is not only eating right but fitting exercise into your day. If you are new to doing any type of exercise I recommend you start easy and work up to increasing your amount of activity. So many people decide to take the world by storm, especially in the New Year they start out strong and in a few weeks totally tire out or get hurt. Exercise should be fun as well as healthy for you. If it isn't fun then you will lose interest quickly. If you can make exercise a daily part of your routine...just like brushing your teeth then you will soon feel the benefits and getting a workout in will be a no-brainer.

When I first started exercising I used to get to the gym by 6am every morning. I just decided one day that is was more convenient to exercise before I went to work everyday. It took me 3 weeks to finally get into the routine and then I would wake up effortlessly and get myself to the gym. Once I started going to the gym, I started making friends at the gym and before I knew it we would start hanging out together outside of the gym. That was 20 years ago, but it became part of my daily routine so much so that I would miss my workout if for some reason I could not get to the gym. And now to this day I value my gym membership and the time that I get to workout. My workout is for me and when I am there getting in my exercise it feels great.

Find something you like to do. It may be a sport, joining a gym or becoming part of a running group. Most importantly start moving, try something new, meet friends and have fun with it.

I look forward to getting started with all of you on Monday. On Monday...I will discuss overcoming challenges and making a decision to having a positive mindset.
