The hardest part of getting in shape is getting started. But getting started at the gym is a bit rough but everyone has to start somewhere. It’s often intimating when you first start going to the gym. You see people who are in shape and confident in what they’re doing but, you have no idea of what you’re doing or where to start.

Stress is apart of our daily lives and we try our best to navigate it by trying to keep up a healthy lifestyle. We try to exercise a few days a week, eat a well-balanced diet, and get plenty of rest. When it comes to a busy schedule it’s not easy to keep up a healthy lifestyle. Managing things such as caring for a family, budgeting, and working isn’t an easy task. You often find yourself skipping meals or eating quick unhealthy snacks just to get through to the next task, Staying up late to get something done and sacrificing your much-needed sleep.

Deciding to transition to a healthier lifestyle was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Four years ago I was overweight, out of shape, and depressed. I weighed over 200 lbs and most of what I ate came from a drive-through window. The only form of daily exercise I got was walking from the couch to the fridge. I was depressed and began to become fed up with my current situation. I wasn’t living a healthy life at all, I was miserable and making poor health choices. So I decided to transition to a healthier lifestyle.
