The start is what stops most people from changing their habits to live a healthy life style. Reasons may vary from the fear of change, fear of long term contracts, the gym is intimidating, or it seems like a "large investment" etc. Some how we claim to have a great and valid reason not to go to the gym and live a healthy lifestyle.
The reality is that it is crucial to live a healthy life style. There is more to the gym then getting that "BEACH BODY". It is important for us to live a healthy life style in order to keep our blood pressure and blood sugars within healthy levels as we age.
Exercise should be used as a form of preventative health care for your body. Too often we become stuck in our routine of excuses to justify why we can not work out or why we do not like they gym.
Not only have I worked in the industry for over 10 years, but I have seen first hand with close family members the struggle to begin healthy life once the negative effect of high blood pressure and diabetes begin. Remember a healthy body also keeps the mind strong and healthy. Once your body begins feel the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle, this will roll over to effect the mental health with issues such as depression and social anxiety. What I mean is that you will look at your self in the mirror and say "its too late" "why start now" "no one cares" or " I'll be as good as I used to be".
Do not let this happen to you. Do not wait until your are on a arsenal of medication for health reasons that could have been prevented by a basic fitness routine.
Believe me, it is start that stops most people.
"Make the sacrifice" for 1 month and you will see the improved energy levels, better sleep, better self esteem, and a better quality of life. 2 or 3 days a week at the gym for preventative maintenance on your body is all you need to get the ball rolling.
