Starting Your Fitness Journey

When beginning an exercise routine, it’s important to simply get moving, regardless of the activity. Whether it's yoga, running, or even playful activities like chasing ducks, the key is to remove barriers to starting. Setting aside the need for a perfect plan can be liberating, allowing individuals to learn and adapt as they progress. Experiencing missteps along the way, such as an embarrassing fall, is part of the journey and can lead to valuable insights as one evolves in their fitness journey.
