I’ve highlighted lots of here, but weight loss isn’t the only benefit of exercise. In fact, one of the greatest (and most difficult) transitions we can make is to move from being sedentary to being more active.

It may seem impossible, especially for those of us who grew up in an inactive family, but it can be done – something my readers prove time and time again. Jackie is one of those people. She grew up with the motto, “No pain…no pain!” and lived her life accordingly…at least until she got older and realized she wasn’t happy with the way she felt or looked. As she said, “I had to get my head around the fact that changes needed to be made.”

Once she made up her mind, she started with a simple walking workout and changed from being sedentary to actually looking forward to her workouts. about Jackie’s turnaround and , if you have one. This time of year, we can use all the motivation we can get.
