As most of you all know, spring time is right around the corner and you probably have that little voice in your head saying “ I need to go on a diet” or “I need to start working out so I can look good without my shirt on” well lucky for you, you have found the perfect article to get you motivated to put those subconscious thoughts into motion.
Ever since I was physically strong enough to run on my own two legs I have been very active. I played soccer from age 4 to 18 and between I’ve experimented with swimming and cross country. I have a very small figure and often times my appearance deceives people to believe that I am weak, if I may disregard that small misconception it would be easy for me to express that I am actually quite strong. When I am not involved in any sports I like to stay in shape by going to the gym, there I like to do some strength training and cardio. When the gym is not an option I still believe it is important to workout and in my book there are no excuses for not exercising. Mother nature has a million different uses so I find biking and hiking trails to go on, it’s the perfect time to bond with family and friends all while getting fit. I exercise for many reasons, for one I like to stay in shape, secondly my family has a past of chronic diseases so by exercising I am keeping my heart healthy and managing my blood pressure, and lastly by blowing off some steam on a jog or lifting weights I am improving my mood and that overall has many advantages itself.

I understand not everyone is capable of being as active as I am but I strongly encourage you to take some time out of your day to take a brisk walk or make baby steps like taking the stairs instead of the escalator. Exercising is not supposed to be something you should worry about because it should already be part of your daily routine. You can manage your weight without much effort, all it really takes is a step toward eating healthy and being less lazy. Stop fighting over the parking spot in the front and park in the back for once, skip the bread on the table, you wont die of hunger. It truly is the small things that count, if you are determined, than you have the power to change the way you look, it’s all psychological. “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.“ Vince Lombardi
