Why is it that some people have no trouble adopting and adhering to a fitness program while other people have so much trouble even getting started on one. The reasons are many but one thing that everyone who has a fitness regimen has in common with each other is that they all had a beginning. People aren't born in great physical shape and neither were they born with a physical fitness regimen either.
The truth of the mater, is that if you were to stop someone that you saw doing their fitness regimen you would most likely find that many of them struggled in the beginning just like you do. What they did though, is that they didn't give up and kept going back until they found something that works. Exercise and fitness regimens are difficult to adhere to in the beginning, because that is the most difficult time.
In the beginning of an exercise regimen your body is objecting by giving you pain. You have yet to see actual results and frankly it isn't really much fun to spend an hour in the evening working out when you are used to spending that hour relaxing in front of the TV. One trick that works is to take small steps when you are beginning an exercise regimen. Make it a ten minute work out and only do it every third day.
You may find that in time you begin to enjoy the way that exercising makes you feel and the ten minutes will begin to stretch into half hour workouts. Once you get a system going then start to take a look at your eating habits. Things like ice cream and any other sweet oily goodies have so many calories in them and in time you won't even miss them once they are eliminated from your diet.
