Step Three - Put your shoes on

"Dreamers who are overly afraid of failing are at risk of just that; failing to ever reach for those dreams, that is." Ralph Heath






Now for the hardest part of exercise - Doing it!


Basic steps to help you get up and move:

• Put your shoes on - no excuses, they are the best piece of equipment you have and they are all you need.
• Believe you are worth it and block out a period of time to spend on you - it will uplift you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually!
• Tell others what you are going to accomplish because it makes you accountable to them.
• Remember the feeling of accomplishment, after you are done, and each day use that as a motivator.
• Start with just the basics - go for a walk, bike ride, dance, hike, or whatever makes you feel invigorated and accomplished! Once you begin, you will notice that it is easy to add a few extra minutes.
• Begin with 20 - 30 minutes, or if you need to, go for 3 seperate 10 minute segments throughout the day. It is all calorie burn.
• During your workout, add intensity by increasing your speed or your resistance enough to feel like you are really working hard, for example, you could talk if you needed to but would rather not. Do this for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time as this will add extra calorie burn.
• Now go for it!
