The Best Way to Spring into Fitness!

Well, after a bit of a hiatus, I'm back. I hope you are ready to get started on your spring workout, now that our crazy snow storm is over!

This month, I wrote about domestic violence and emotional abuse, due to the Rhianna and Chris Brown's drama that unfolded in the last several weeks. If you, or someone you know is in an emotionally abusive relationship, please check out this article. Here is the link:

Also, I have a new link on my website that will hopefully bring more insight into dating violence and offers a red flags checklist. See the emotional abuse section at www.LindaCastor.com.

So, what is the best way to spring into fitness? Just get out there! It's beautiful weather! Better yet, enlist a friend to go walking with you or just ride a bike on your own. Research shows that we stay focused and committed to our goals if we have the encouragement and support from others.

Also, don't isolate yourself. Make new friends at the gym, attend a community event, and get involved in a group or organization that you believe in. Experts agree that when we isolate ourselves, we set ourselves up for failure.

No excuses. You're just hurting yourself, and aren't you worth it?

(Yes, you are, if you struggled with that answer!)

Take care, get out there and get moving. You can do it! In fact, I have a challenge for you! Let me know how you are doing. Tell me what motivates you? What struggles do you want to overcome? Let's get a discussion going!

All my best,

Linda
