I was curious to know what is keeping you from being physically fit? What types of things keep you from working out at least 3 to 4 times a week? I am interested in your answers and would love if you could take the time and e-mail me an answer if you so desire. I don't want to feed you any answers or excuses, but I can't help but wonder what the reasons are for each person.
Is it lack of time or money? Is it lack of motivation? Are you easily distracted by other obligations? Do you just hate to exercise? Is it lack of support from family or friends? Is it something I am doing or not doing to help you in your journey?
One of the many things about this job that I enjoy is that I get to hear all of the excuses. Some are real and can't be avoided. Reasons like a sickness or just plain too sore to work-out today. Other excuses I just have to laugh about them. My beloved husband told me once that the reason his buddy from work got up and worked out everyday was because his buddy was in really good shape already! I thought to myself...duh...how do you think he GOT in such good shape. I am glad to say that my sweet hubby has made the connection and can no longer use the "I am out of shape so I can't work-out" excuse. He is in great shape because he is working out on a regular basis! Go figure!
I have started a list of the best excuses for not coming to class that I have heard over the past 2 years. Some of you will remember telling me that very excuse and others will just shake your head and laugh! I am not going to post them today, but maybe one day I will. Remember I am laughing with you not at you.
Anyway, if you get a minute...really think about what is keeping you from achieving better health through being physically active. I am just curious to know. You may e-mail me your answers to Cindy@EDGE-SP.com.
Show up and make it count!

I'm a pretty social exerciser. It feeds two needs: fitness and friends. I like that you are encouraging rather than demeaning when we work out, it makes me want to try harder for myself and for you!
I can't wait for that list of excuses.
