If you’ve never worked out consistently, or felt that taking that time for you was selfish, I can tell you that IT ISN’T!
A lot of people make changes in their workout plans or eating plans during or after life changing experiences such as divorce, the death of a loved one, a medical alert (such as a diabetes diagnoses, a heart attack or cancer or even the onset of menopause), or any big changes in their life experience ( I’ve had the displeasure of experiencing several of these over the last 5 years).
Don’t wait! Do it now!!!
Try different mediums of exercise until you find something that interests you. There are a myriad of classes available from Zumba to kick-boxing, boot camp to spinning. Try them all; or just go out and hike up a hill with your dog.
See changes in your eating plan ( I stay away from the word ‘diet’) such as eating clean diet ( see my cover page for a longer explanation of what that is), to be a positive change for YOU and it benefits your family and friends by giving you more energy, better mental frame of mind, and better long-term health and vitality.
Do it today!!
