Have You Started Your Fitness Plan?
December 4th, 2008 at 10:20A few days ago, I suggested that you get started on your goals now instead of waiting until the New Year. Have you started yet? What’s stopping you? If you’re not sure how to get started, here are a few tips:
- Do something today. Do anything. Go out and walk around the block. Do a few situps. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Just do something today.
- Eliminate ALL excuses. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. The hardest part is getting started, so just start with 10 minutes. I KNOW you have 10 minutes you can spend walking or doing some kind of exercise. Not having the time is the biggest excuse. No more excuses!
- Make it a habit. It only takes 21-30 days to form a new habit. So, do a little something everyday. Before you know it, you will have exercised for one month, then 2 months. After only one month of exercise, you’ll notice a change in many aspects of your life…and you’ll love it. Stick with it, and form a new good habit.
Everyone is different, and we all have different views of exercise. Do what works for you. Make it fun. Set a goal. And enjoy your success!

Yep, we started out a daily workout about 2 weeks ago. So far my spouse has lost 20 pounds and we’re planning on losing more pounds in the coming weeks! The hardest part of course was getting motivated enough to start a routine but we’re determined to be committed. Yep, no more excuses!

Thanks for the reminder. A few weeks ago I started going for a 20 minute walk every day as a way to start getting some exercise. Then I went abroad on a short notice trip and fell out of the habit. I leave near the sea and I was actually quite enjoying the process so I need to make an effort and get going again.

I think “Make It a Habit” is key – if you have the self-discipline to do it, then you are half way there!
