Tips for Success

• If you are having fun, you will stick to the plan.  What activity, sport, or kind of exercise sounds like it would be fun to do or learn?
• Keep it social!  Working out with friends and even strangers can help provide support, accountability, and competition, while making exercise more interesting and less boring.
• Start slow, the goal is to commit to exercising regularly.  Once that goal is reached, you can start focusing on aesthetic goals.
• Always listen to your body!  This is the golden rule of exercise.  If you need to take a day off, or slow down, do it!
• Get outside!  Enjoy the fall weather, get your body moving, and reconnect with nature.  It is the best way to stay stress free and happy.

I really hope you decide to take some action.  Remember, energy follows focus!  If you focus on the things you can’t do, you will get nowhere fast.  Focus on the one thing that appeals to you on this list and works for your budget, and then build on that foundation gradually.
