The Fitness Maven

Many people don’t start to exercise because they can’t imagine themselves bouncing around at a Zumba class or showing up to a gym in a cute little workout outfit. But who says that you have to do these things? One of the secrets to starting and sticking to an exercise routine is to realize that you can exercise YOUR way. What does this mean? If you enjoy walking, then walk. Take a trip around the block with your dog or your friend or your earphones. That’s exercise. If you love to read, then sit on a stationary bike and enjoy that time to read and get your heart rate up. If you think that you’ll only exercise if you have a lot of other people around – then sign up for that Zumba class or aerobics class. But do it your way. You don’t have to exercise in a certain way or fit a certain model in order to get yourself moving. Think about who you are – not who anyone else is – and just get moving in the way that makes you the most comfortable.
