Getting started seems to be the biggest hurdle for women who want to get stronger but don’t  have a lot (or any) experience with doing anything more than walking.

It can seem so overwhelming…. a million YouTube videos with so many different exercises. Where do you begin?

I was thinking about this when I was cleaning up my attic space because I felt the same way as I attempted to organize everything. I didn’t know where to start!

Organization is not my strong suit, but I crave it. Just like you crave to be stronger, but you have no idea where to begin.

What I realized is that I had to do something, anything.

That would be the start. If I filed two pieces of paper, the space would be better off. Of course I didn’t  stop with just two pieces of paper, BUT I gave myself permission to stop if I de-cluttered only a few things.

You can do the same with exercise. Start small. Do some push-ups at your kitchen counter while your waiting for your tea kettle to whistle…and maybe you’ll feel like  adding  in some squats.

The idea is to start small and commit to doing something every day or every other day.

Here is an example of what you can do to start small:

1. Squats 2×10

2. Push-ups  (modified version) 2×10

3. Bridges 2×15

4.Side Plank 2x 20 second hold on each side.

This is simple, not overwhelming, and it will get you started. ​It’s also effective for someone who hasn’t exercised in years.
