if you think getting fit is difficult you are not alone. many people find it hard to get started for many different reasons. do any of these reasons sound like you? i can’t exercise because i don’t have any equipment i don’t have time to exercise i don’t know how to exercise my parents/guardian aren’t active exercise sounds so boring to me equipment or health clubs cost too much if you can relate to any of these statements it is important that you read on for tips on leading an active lifestyle. you don’t have to be an athlete or be involved in an organized sport to be fit. you just have to sit less and move more! it is also important to get other members of your family moving too. exercise smart: be s-pecific about your goals. make them m-easurable - by time or distance make them a-ttainable. your goals should be r-ealistic and achievable. and have them be t-ime based good luck! i found that having a pedometer was a big assistance in exercise. i did not set a goal to start because i knew that having been sedentary i would not be able to do 10 000 steps to start off with but i could do some walking. everyday i tried to increase the number of steps and the pedometer gave me something to gauge that with. it has become something of a game for me and it is amazing how many steps it is to go to one of the big box stores and go up and down the aisles.
how do i get started with exercise?
