Mentally Prepare to Start Your Journey!

So, there are lots of great ways to get started on your new exercise regimen.  Keeping a positive frame of mind is one of them!  So many of us think of exercising as "work" and I'm not going to lie to you- it is.  BUT it doesn't have to feel like work.   The little guy in this picture doesn't think it's work at all because to him its play!

So, if you are having a hard time wrapping your mind around getting out there to "work"; don't!  Get out there and PLAY!  Bring a friend to the gym or rail trail.  Find a new mountain trail to hike or bike.  Rent a canoe for the day.  Or one of my personal favorites-  stick the baby in a comfy carrier hike to a pond, bring a healthy picknick lunch and let her watch the fish swim, tadpoles wiggle and the ducks fly by.
