If nothing else, you HAVE to read the cartoon!

The best tip I can offer, particularly to those new to exercise, is to start slow.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Set mini goals for yourself and work up to a level you can maintain time-wise but still push yourself so your fitness level keeps improving.

If you want to see real results, keep a journal - mind, body and spirit improve significantly with regular activity.

And busy people really do get more done!

I work out all the time - 4 days a week with a trainer, the rest of the time on my own. The few times I have "missed" my workouts (aka - slept through the alarm), the day has just fallen apart.

Working out is better than coffee (and I LOVE my coffee!)

Hey Beth,

I agree-that cartoon is fun (and so true for me at times!)

I love your tips - they are perfectly shared!!

And, congratulations on being so consistent with your workouts--Go Girl!!

All the Best, and More!
