If you run a business like I do, you probably have limited time to do all the things you need to do each day. In order to make sure I get to exercise each day, I have to get up BEFORE the chickens do between 4:30 AM and 5AM. Every single time I have to tell myself, Kim, JUST DO IT! I dont always want to either but I do it.

Why would I do that? Because if I dont, I know I wont feel my best during the day. Some of you may be saying, well thats easy for you to say; youre probably one of those weird people who actually likes to exercise. You would be right I do but NOT at 5AM! However, thats the time Ive set aside to make sure I DO exercise. If I put it off until later the likelihood of me getting my workout in is about nil.

The question still remains here though how do I just do it? Thats the question isnt it? It all begins, as does every single thing else, in your head. Its a matter of how badly do you want to feel better about yourself, to feel good because you are healthier as a result of exercising.

I recently read in a magazine I receive that there is no magic bullet that will give you the body you desire without two things: 1) diet and 2) exercise. No matter what there is just no getting around the fact that we are what we eat and what we do too!

My stepfather is an exercise physiologist and he always told us when we were growing up, more output less input is what will gain you a fit and healthy body. Period. Thats it! So now, I say again, youve got to just do it! For you. Tell yourself that every day its for you. For a better quality of life and surely a healthier one.

Is it easy? No, but you can make a simple goal of doing something each day that will bring you to your goal whatever that may be. You have to decide that because, after all, it IS your body. If youre out of shape, start out slow. You dont have to run a marathon your first day, but you can walk a block or two, even a mile if youre up for that. Just DO something, until youre adding a bit more each time. Youll be amazed at what you will be doing in no time.

You may start with walking a block but youll be running a mile before you know and then, who knows, maybe youll be running a marathon. Or doing a bodybuilding competition. Or just not being tired all the time because you are doing some form of exercise each day. Dont roll over and go back to sleep or say, Ill start tomorrow because that is the exercise NOT trap. It will just become a pattern that can only lead to more disappointment and frustration. Besides, you CAN just do it! I do and I know you can too!

So come on, today, JUST DO IT!
