Essential to the success of ANY fitness program is GETTING STARTED properly. Here are a few quick tips to help if you are considering getting started, no matter what program you decide to go with:

2.
FOLLOW A SET PROGRAM – Too many people decide to get in shape and maybe decide to “start running” (how many times have I said that?). And not that running is bad, but consider following a specific running program. The

program has been highly successful. Look at a SPECIFIC class at a local gym. Look for free workouts in your community. We have #MICHIANAFREEWORKOUT
locally that allows people to get a great workout in FOR FREE!
3. HAVE SUPPORT – Whether in a group or just a workout/nutrition partner, having the support of another person makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Simply having to let another person know that you “got it done” or “planned ahead” can be a game changer.
Hope these are helpful!
