Ever since my high school days, I’ve always loved learning about health, nutrition and fitness. In high school, I was on the tennis team, and I played handball, basketball, volleyball and ran the track field on a leisure basis; I also did at-home exercise videos. I’ve always been a thin person and wanted to get in the best shape of my life. Everyone time I mention to someone that I want to get in shape; the response I’d always get in addition to a dirty look is “You’re crazy, you’re already thin”. Then I’d say, “I may be thin, but I’m not in the best shape. I want to improve my cardio and get muscle definition.” Many people equate being thin to great fitness, but that’s not the case. So listen up people, they are two separate conditions!!
As I mentioned, I love to exercise and stay physically active; however, one of my biggest challenge is to exercise on a consistent basis…ugh. I’ve been involved with many fitness routines, such as jogging, swimming, roller-blading, doing at-home exercise DVD programs, etc. I’m on fire once I start my exercise routine, but it never lasts too long. Something always gets me off track; perhaps it’s me making excuses that stop me from exercising or not having a support network to hold me accountable. Either way, the same cycle continues to happen. So hopefully, this will change for me in the new year with the support from my cousins and aunt who are p90xers. Change is coming.
