Healthy Inspiration from SparkPeople

Motivational Quote - The only way to finish your workout is to start.

SparkPeople's Comments

Stop making excuses and just get out there and do your workout first thing in your day. The longer you procrastinate and make excuses for not exercising, the more likely it is that you'll skip exercise altogether--which also means skipping the good results you get from it.

Once you start, you never regret it. At least I Don't.

Sometimes I have a hard time getting started but once I do, I'm glad I did.

Man, that is so right. I'm getting more walking in, but some times it's still a struggle to get out of the chair.

Someone read my mind! My goal is to eliminate the word "excuse" (noun) from my vocabulary.

I totally agree with this one!

I'm learning to love this one! Some days I just don't want to get moving but I get myself out the door by convincing myself I can do once around the block. So far, I have never stopped at that -- just keep on going!

I love this one. I never "feel like getting up and exercising". Once I start I tell myself "just do twenty minutes", 50-55 minutes later I'm finished and feel great.
