How many of you have looked at your weight and thought to yourselves, I will never lose that much weight, it will take too long. So instead you decide to not do anything at all? I received an email this morning from one of my bootcampers and it even blew me away what small steps can accumulate over time. She decided to do a little extra movement each day by simply taking the stairs at work instead of using an elevator. Look at what she said…..
“I’ve taken over 200 flights of stairs this week – - the equivalent of walking to the top of the Empire State Building and back down halfway. “
Do you see what you can accomplish by just doing something every day. You don’t have to run a mile or do an hour of aerobics in the beginning. Just move!!!! Do something that will accumulate over time. This has benefits, trust me… You will start to lose weight, increase your cardiovascular health, raise your metabolism, gain confidence, and then you will be able to tackle more and more..
We all have to start somewhere. You just have to make the decision to START.. Get up from your desk every hour and do 20 jumping jacks (or 10 in the beginning), take the stairs instead of the elevator, get up and talk to the person in the next office instead of Instant Messaging them, park further away from the store instead of driving laps looking for the closest parking spot, walk to the mailbox instead of picking it up on the drive in, walk with your family after dinner instead of sitting and watching a movie, pace at the sports games instead of sitting on the sidelines, practice with your kids instead of sending them outside alone.. You see there are so many simple ways to start your path to great success.
I know you have all heard it!!! “You didn’t get where you are overnight so allow yourself the time to get back to where you’re supposed to be”…
