“I’m so out of shape—I don’t even know where to begin!” Of course it is important to check with your doctor before you begin any new exercise program. Once you have been medically cleared, you have to start somewhere—so start where you are! There is no such thing as instant fitness. If you start this week by increasing your activity level, little by little, three months from now you will be leaner, stronger, more energetic, and healthier. If you choose not to start, then don’t be surprised if you are exactlyrepparttar same as you are today! What are your other negative thoughts and attitudes about exercise? Can you counter them in a positive way? Develop positive statements about activity and repeat them often to yourself. For instance, instead of saying, “exercise is boring”, say, “being active gives merepparttar 114450 opportunity to relieve stress and feel better.” Repeat affirmations like “I can feel myself becoming healthier and more energetic”, “It feels so good to move my muscles!” and “I can do it!” Start thinking of your self as an active, healthy person—and you will become one!
