Let's assume, just for fun, that something I said on this blog has piqued your curiosity about starting to exercise on a regular basis. You're thinking about jumping in, maybe even on Jan. 1. The question naturally arises, What shall I do? Where do I start?
Well, let me say this. It makes a lot of sense to join a gym. It doesn't have to be Gold's Gym by any means. Nothing fancy is necessary. Your local Y is fine.
Make believe you are starting a new "job" and the Y is your new "office." This will give your exercising some structure. Write your exercise "appointments" in your calendar and don't let anything get in the way. Learn to operate on "automatic." This is what I have done, and it's the habit and routine of it all that has led to many of my successes.
Just a thought!
