Fitness and health are both about momentum. When you have it, it’s great, and when you don’t, you feel like it takes too much to get started. It’s like this: if you have a brand new car, you’re constantly driving it, keeping the tires and parts warm, everything is getting use and going smooth.
But when that car gets a little too old and you stop running it around so much, it starts to sit around. At some point, the paint starts to peel, the rims start to rust and the car becomes a hunk of junk. So, at that point, it’s better to trade in your junk car for cash rather than try to get its momentum back.
It’s similar with your health. If you don’t keep moving, you’ll get lazy, you’ll stagnate. That’s when the real health damage gets done. So avoid the situation by taking the first step: gain momentum.
It doesn’t even have to be physical momentum to start! Gain mental, spiritual and emotional momentum to being with. If you’re ready to make the physical move if your life, you’ll want to start with the mental side first, anyway.
So gain momentum. Make a plan. Tell yourself that physical fitness isn’t a luxury, it’s a requirement. It’s something you have to do. When you get in this frame of mind, progress and physical success comes a lot easier.
Are you ready to get started? Are you ready to put momentum on your side? Let’s go!
