How do I start?

I hear this a lot, I want to workout / get healthy / lose weight, but I do not know how to start. There is no one size fits all answer, but a couple first steps.

  1. Set a goal, a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) goal. (We will go over later how to set SMART goals). But what do you want to do? Lose 15 pounds? Walk a mile? Finish a marathon? Lift your grandkids? What goal do YOU want to hit?
  2. What are the steps to hit your goal? If it is to lose 15 pounds, how do you plan to do this? What are the steps you need to make?
  3. Accountability. Do you have a coach? If not, do you have an accountability partner (other than social media). If not, put your goals into your calendar, be YOUR accountability partner!
  4. Plan what you are going to do….write out your weeks plan. Get your self prepared the night before.
  5. Set a time to wake up. Set up a consistent time, make a routine..
  6. and just GO. Do it. and have fun!
