So you want to be fit and fabulous…what does it take? Shhh, come a little closer so I can whisper this best kept secret. Are you ready? The biggest thing you will need is a sense of humor.
1. Use Humor – there will be times along
your fitness journey where you will laugh at yourself. In my case, there are
endless occurrences of giggles.
I had a conversation with a nutrition coach about my eating habits. I
told her I love salads of all kinds.
She asked, “Do you drown them with salad dressing?”
I said, “Is that a problem?” Of course I don’t drown my lettuce, maybe it
swims a little, but drown? No way.
You may not think you’re a humorous person, but consider this… Have you
ever been in an exercise class and the instructor has everyone performing
abdominal crunches? You say out loud (or think to yourself), “I’m not doing
those, it hurts my stomach.”
You’re using humor.
2. Get massages regularly – treat yourself
to an occasional massage as a reward for achieving mini goals you set for
yourself.
3. Do anything to get moving, just make
sure it’s something you like – if you do something you like, the chances are
higher that you will stick with it.

4. Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself –
yes I know this relates back to using humor, but it brings things full circle.
You can uncover the humor in any situation.
Go ahead,
get started on your fitness goals. Stop reading this, get up and get active.
Stand up now and stretch your body. Give me some neck rolls and five arm
circles….you’re on your way.
