I have been a fitness-junkie for most of my life - partially because I try to stay in shape, but also because I like what it does for me emotionally and mentally. With all the benefits I feel, I find it amazing that other people aren't totally into fitness too. But I guess we all have our own interests to follow, so that's cool. But I can not believe how many times I have been actively DIScouraged from engaging in the activities I enjoy so much, whether it is from well-meaning family members, friends who "apologize" for being out of shape, or strangers who think I am in their way or wasting my time. I don't understand it, because I know how important it is to have some kind of encouragement to do anything that is tough. And sticking with a fitness program is TOUGH, especially as life gets busy and we get older and less agile. It is SO TOUGH, and I am so proud of anyone who finds the heart to fit in whatever amount of fitness they can.
I have visited my TBB site nearly everyday since I took on p90x almost 3 years ago -- and this site has literally saved my sense of self. It has confirmed my commitment to myself, to being and staying healthy as I age, and to sharing my passion for fitness with others. It is a family of like-minded people that I feel I can connect to without even knowing who they are. The SuperGym tells me I am not alone, no matter what time it is, and I feel stronger and happier as a result. So I guess I just want to share my gratitude with all of you Team Beachbody peeps -- and especially to those of you who are just scoping it out. YOU really get me off my butt and ready to go, and that ALWAYS makes me feel better! And I know that the more you stay connected, the better you will feel too!
Peace out!!
