Make a start this week! Aim for 2 - 3 workouts this week. Do anything you can manage. Maybe the gym, maybe a jog or just take time to breath and stretch.

If you can't do 45mins do 15 mins.

Do it for you !

Achieving your goals or just getting started is all about Consistency. Its like the hare and the tortoise you don't have to go bat s**t crazy, hard out for hours on end.

Just find a pattern (training frequency) you can maintain. If you can't do an hour of movement do 30 mins if you cant do 30 mins do 15 mins.

The key is to make it regular and for it to fit into your schedule. Ideally 2 - 4 times per week to start with.

Any level of exercise is ok, building the intensity only comes after the pattern is established.
