Really fitness is very simple. It’s not about working out for 2-3 months and dieting as you try to keep up with your new resolve then ‘arriving’ at your perfect weight. Rather think of it in terms of a lifelong journey. Just as in life everyday we have choices. The choice for fitness is one that fits into every lifestyle, age group and budget.
For beginners, consider adding a 15 minute moderate walk, 3x a week to your routine.
