        Sometimes exercise can be so daunting, so I’m glad you brought up not needing a gym to get moving! Physical activity doesn’t have to be a chore…it can actually be fun! Maybe if you are hesitant to get started, grab a buddy. That’s what helps me when I am feeling unmotivated, especially in the winter.

          A buddy is such a great idea! When I have someone to exercise with, it not only makes exercise more fun, but it also helps me stick to it: I’m not going to skip if I have someone meeting me there.

              I am learning that a buddy whether in the form of a support group, or friend or fitness enthusiast is key to staying the course, especially in moments when you want to give up!

                  Hi. I have a question. It has been a very long time since I have done any type of regular exercise. Is there a way I can begin to build up my strength and stamina and be able to keep it going?
                  I also have several physical health issues that make exercise harder, but I am so looking forward to getting some exercise.
