@emmaa.getsfitt: Walking was the thing that finally helped me start my 160lbs weight loss journey and it’s the reason I didn’t quit after two weeks like I had every other time before! I think so many people convince themselves that day one has to be huge. You have to be in the gym for hours, it has to be the hardest workout imaginable, and you have to be dripping sweat, and sure, maybe you can keep that up for a week. But then life gets busy, you’re sore, you’re tired, you miss a couple workouts, and then you’re feeling like you failed… again. Walking never asked that much from me. I was over 330 pounds, and I had to meet myself where I was at. I had to keep it simple enough that I could actually keep doing it, and THAT is why it worked. Everyone wants the plan that burns the most calories and I get it. Walking seems so simple but it is so powerful, because that one walk became two, my fitness got better, my confidence increased, and eventually I WAS ready for strength training. Walking was one of the things that made everything else possible. I still think strength training is incredibly important, but it doesn’t have to be where you start. If the gym feels overwhelming right now, that’s okay! Go for a walk, and then do it again tomorrow!
