The other day a friend sent this picture to me and I felt it caught the point of exercise and fitness to a "T". I've tried to explain this exact point to people who are questioning their readiness to start exercising. They compare themselves to others and say that they still aren't ready, but the truth is, just like other life changing moments, you're never truly ready. No matter how hard you try to "prepare" you're never quite ready to get married, have a child or to start an exercise regimen. The thing is "readiness" is a mental aspect and sometimes the only preparation one can truly have is "life application". Rather than think about the complexities of exercising, simplify for the positive reasons as to why you should be exercising. Think about how you may be helping to reduce health risks that are apart of your family history, how you will feel energized as exercise becomes a regular part of your life, or how much better you will sleep after you workout. Not to mention that you will start to look better and feel better about yourself and the person you are.
Are those things you're ready to feel and achieve??? Then get out there and exercise!!! No need to wait for anyone else...your battle should be with self NOT with everyone else! The person in the mirror should be your motivation.
