Picture this: you’ve known for weeks, months, perhaps even years or decades that you should prioritize your health and fitness. You’ve started countless diets, workout plans, and paid for months and months of unused gym memberships to no avail.Working out is for other people… not you, despite what the number is on the scale. Right?If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.National data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey concluded that nationally, 41.9 percent of adults have obesity, and that number is only getting larger every year.But this doesn’t have to be you!Moving your body is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Not only does it help to improve physical health, but it also has a positive impact on mental health. When you move your body, you are creating a sense of well-being and an improved sense of self.For us, fitness is not about punishing ourselves for bad eating habits, but rather about finding joy and discovering the limits of our bodies. So if you’re ready to start exercising (and stick to it once and for all), click PLAY on this episode of Trust Issues where we’ll cover our best fitness tips for beginners!Ready to start working out?
