It's Never Too Late To Start Over

Starting slow is still a start. 

Remember why you started.

If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up. 

Everyone starts somewhere…just keep going.    

Every day is a new beginning, take a deep breath and start again. 

Stop saying I wish, start saying I will 

Do what you have always wanted to do, it’s never too late to start.

Start now. Make it happen! 

It’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to be happy. 

Motivation gets you started habit keeps you going. 

Imagine a new story for your life and start living it.

Starting over sucks, so keep going. 

Stop wishing, start doing.

The key to success is to start before you are ready.

Think big, start small.

You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great!

I Did is Much Stronger Than I Will

I recently found a way to make myself work out every day: First I decided to commit to working out every day by just starting very small. On day 1 I was only motivated to workout for 2 minutes (Yes, I know, sounds too little right?). But EVERY DAY thereafter I decided that my absolute minimum would be 2 minutes. No matter how demotivated I felt, I was determined to do my 2 minutes. This goal was so small that it was almost impossible not to do it. By day 3 or 4 I had doubled it to 4 minutes. One week later I felt very comfortable to do 15 minutes, because it was beginning to feel like a HABIT. If on any day I did not feel like working out I would make myself do my minimum of two minutes. By week 2, I was doing 30-45 minutes EVERY DAY. Now it's over a month since I started this new way of staying motivated and I now workout for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes daily (on my elliptical, spin bike, plus YouTube workout videos).
Working out daily has now become my habit, it would seem as strange to me to not work out as it would to not brush my teeth. If you find yourself saying "I will do my workout" and then find yourself procrastinating, but you really want to say "I DID my workout today" consider starting off with a ridiculously short time of just two minutes, but make sure you do those two minutes EVERY DAY. Within a few weeks to a month you'll find this has become a habit that you'll enjoy and be proud of, which in turn will motivate you to want to exercise for even longer.

Change Takes Time

Try Again...Never Give Up!

Focus On One or Two Well-Defined Goals

“Most people never really get focused about fitness,” says Mike Robertson, MS, CSCS, co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training in Indianapolis. “They switch programs every few days or not at all. They miss workouts for weeks at a time.”

As a result, no matter how earnest our intentions, many of us miss the mark. Not for lack of trying, but because we don’t have a winning blueprint or a strategy. “It’s only when you focus on one or two well-defined goals and follow a clear plan to accomplish them that you start to make real progress,”

Robertson, along with many other leading trainers, is articulating a fitness truth grounded in the basic tenets of business: If you want to accomplish any complex, challenging objective, you have to set clear goals, approach each of your hurdles systematically, routinely assess progress, and course-correct when necessary.

Nothing In The World Can Take The Place Of Persistence

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” - Calvin Coolidge

Find Ways To Work Up A Sweat

Brisk walking, dancing, housework, gardening, stair climbing,...exercise doesn't have to look like exercise.

"Simply by standing, you burn three times as many calories as you do sitting. Muscle contractions, including the ones required for standing, seem to trigger important processes related to the breakdown of fats and sugars. When you sit down, muscle contractions cease and these processes stall." - James A. Levine, M.D., Ph.D.

Every Day Is A Good Day When You Run

I used to run several times a week for about 1 hour at a time about 7 years ago...I would love to start this habit again. This post is the beginning of my motivation to do so. Running always made me feel great for the rest of the day.
