Getting Started on the Path to Physical Fitness

This is the latest blog post by AllSport GPS Ambassador Ben Davis

How to start?

It's one of the tougher questions we can ask ourselves when we've been stuck in an unhealthy routine for so long. Maybe we perceive ourselves to be "too far gone," maybe we don't believe we can even do it.

But let me tell you something that helped me get started. Think of it as a mental exercise.

Think about what you were doing six months ago. Think about exactly what was going on in your life. Think about what has happened since then. Think about how fast those six months have gone by.

And now think about this: The next six months are going to go by just as fast. Now think about how cool it would be now if the six-months-ago version of yourself had made some changes. If that version of you had given up the unhealthy life. Maybe started running, maybe gave up smoking, maybe changed your eating habits. Six months of healthy living. You would be a different person today.

Now think about this: You have a chance to be that person right now. These next six months are going to fly by. Make those changes now. A lot can happen in six months.

Go ahead and start today.

Do good, do life.
