There are many reasons to exercise as we must keep moving for mobility, strength, mood, and sometimes even pain relief.

.

It also helps control our weight alongside a healthy diet. When we do physical exercise, we know we burn calories and it's important to have a balanced lifestyle. It also helps to combat health conditions such as heart disease, blood pressure and cholesterol. It can release happy endorphins and gives you the feel-good factor which is so amazing.

Now the issue can be getting started. Everyone asks the question of how and where to begin. It's completely normal as many people are self conscious. But let me tell you something, everyone larger and smaller, tall and short feels like this. Life is too short to let these negative thoughts stop you.

Try to reach out to a friend or family member to buddy up with to get some kind of active routine going. Walking, swimming, cycling are all great ways to go about this. Start off with a plan to meet once a week and go on your own another day. Ye will help to encourage each other and this can be very motivating. I also recommend the toning tables as they are based on Pilates which really help to lenghten and strenghten every muscle in the body. It's super for posture, pelvic floor muscles, back ache, neck, and shoulder pain. It can release tension from all over the body, while tightening and toning, waist, upper arms, bra line, midriff etc. When we exercise we get the added benefit of anti-cellulite.
