I am kind of in love with Taylor Swift’s new song, “Shake it Off”. It tells us to not listen to the “haters” out there and just be ourselves. Sometimes, we can be our own worst enemies by thinking (or saying) negative things about ourselves that create obstacles that keep us from reaching our goals.
Recently, a client told me she was waiting until she had lost a little weight before joining one of my classes. I had to take a step back and actually think about what she had said. I then remembered how I felt before I tried my first group fitness class years ago. I did the same thing!!!!!

Everyone has to start somewhere! You are not alone! Find a gym, studio, trainer, and/or routine that works for you and makes you feel accomplished at the end of the day. If you feel supported, welcomed, and you can start to see some results you have a better chance of success.
The reality is that you will fail, probably more than once. The key is to get up, dust yourself off, and try something else that will lead you to success.
If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?
