2008 Fitness Motto

"Any kind of exercise is good, as long as you are doing something....."- aTLCbody

"It's so hard to fit exercise in my schedule" is something that I hear from my friends all the time. Then I said it- something I would NEVER say to anyone must less to my dear friends that I truly adore, love and cherish. "Well, if you find time to watch your favorite show, you have time to exercise!" I blurted it out so quickly and without hestitation that I stunned myself. She stared at me with disgust and her sister and I waiting for the words of fury to spark. But they didn't......I was quite surprise. We dropped the subject and moved on to our kids.

The next day, I got a phone call from her. She was asking me about becoming a vidiot. Asked me where to start and to help her design a schedule. I seized the moment for what it was, packed up some vids, some weights, my little guy and rushed over there. I worked out with her showing her proper form and lending her some vids on a 'trial basis'. I also helped her design a healthy eating regimen and an exercise program.

This morning, I got an email that she purchased a clearanced treadmill for her living room. She realized that she could exercise and NOT miss her favorite shows.

The Moral of the Story........
Alright, I didn't bring up the subject or handled it well when it was brought up. However, I took time out of my schedule to motivate a friend by not telling her, but by showing her. Motivate someone that you are close to. Develop a fitness relationship by helping them, not critcizing them or leaving it up to them to figure out for themself.
