Just Decide

By Austin Personal Trainer, Julius Washington

As a Fitness Professional I’ve come across a lot of people who have many different reasons to not make their health one of the highest priorities in their daily lives.

The one thing that we all must understand is that when our health is poor, every other area of our lives will suffer. I’ve come to the professional conclusion that poor nutritional choices and lack of exercise are two of the most destructive forces in the lives of the general public.

So how do we fix our health problems and get started on an effective fitness program? I’m here to give you a few ideas on how to get this done:

First, you have to just DECIDE that your health is one of your HIGHEST PRIORITIES. A good way of doing this determining who depends on you the most. Do your children depend on you the most? How about your wife or husband? Think about how the life of your family, loved ones, or friends would be if you weren’t around. Once you’ve realized how important you are to the people who depend on you most, then deciding to make your health one of your highest priorities should be easy.

Second, once you’ve decided to get moving on a fitness program your next move should be to research and find a qualified fitness professional who can help you achieve your goal. It will also be a good idea to search for information on proper nutrition and exercise so you can educate yourself, which will make your fitness journey easier.

Lastly, get started!! Don’t wait for a perfect time to start your fitness program. There will never be a perfect time to start a fitness program, but the best time to start is NOW! You can do it!! Just remember to stay focused, consistent, persistent, and that failure is always on the path to success. Just Decide and change you health today.
