Get Started Slowly

You may have started an exercise program before and gone at it gangbusters on the first day. Then you were so sore that you waited to recover a day or so later and never went back to exercising. It happens all the time. I think it’s part of how the health clubs stay in business. (They need more members than people who actually use the facilities.)

There is a reason that a few years ago (sarcasm) you started with “baby steps”. An how you should start back at exercising now. With time strength, endurance, and fitness will return. Challenge your body by exercising just outside your comfort zone. When it’s no longer a challenge, do a little more or do it a little harder, faster or longer. That saying, “no pain, no gain” is not a benefit if it keeps you form staying with the exercise program.

But to borrow a famous bit of advertising… Just Do It!

TODAY: TAKE BABY STEPS, OR MORE STEPS.
