Are you stuck in neutral? Have you tried to start getting healthy many times without success? Here are five tips to help you attain success:
1. Be realistic with your workout program. Start exercising for 20 minutes per day for 3 days per week and build from there. You have to get your body in shape to push your limits, NEVER push from day 1.
2. BE SMART! You wouldn't hire a plumber to do your taxes right? So please don't listen to your friend who thinks they know stuff about fitness. Find someone qualified who knows what they are doing. There are plenty of options out there it might just take 20 minutes of your time.
3. Drink water! Even if you hate drinking water, force yourself to rebel against, well...yourself! In no time you will be gulping down bottles and smashing them on your forehead. Maybe. If you are hydrated your body will work and feel better.
4. Get a routine. Figure out what times and days work best and stick with it. Where has that whole "A la carte" thing gotten you in the past? Probably reading this post looking for ideas. Lol. Honestly, stick with a plan and incorporate into your life. The results will speak for themselves.
5. Understand that getting in shape can be an emotional process and don't discount that. Put yourself in a comfortable environment and breathe though it if you start to get nervous. Remember that the first day will be the hardest and then every day will get easier after that.
