Fear Will Paralyze You!



When I would read about other people working out I would say I don't think I can do that exercise thing. Not that I couldn't exercise but not the weight training. I was an exception because I had never lifted weights or done ANY resistance workouts. So when I would see people at the gym doing this I would want to, but never would try. Then I got a buddy to go to the gym with me. She had weight trained before and gotten out of it. She showed me a little and I realized I could do this. However, it was temporary and I was back to the same thought process. Then I joined the gym by my house and wanted more. I began by only doing cardio work outs 4 to 5 days a week. I had already been jogging in my neighborhood and now I had different machines to do this with. Then I finally decided to ask a trainer to check my body fat and from there I was on my way to a free consultation and doing weight training. Today I LOVE it. I was so afraid of it, thinking the demand was great but not realizing everyone started somewhere. So did I, now it is a very important part of my workouts at the gym. Buffeting our body is not always easy but it is a necessary part of our day to have a longer healthier life. You can do it too. Just start somewhere. I did! Also remember, you may not have a lot of weight to lose but that doesn't mean your body is in shape.
