Connecting

Usually when it comes to fitness and being healthy, it is all about finding a connection. It sounds similar to a romantic connection and getting there can just about be as agonizing as a first date, but once you find the right connection, it's like falling head over heels in love. Finding your fitness niche can be daunting, you try a little running, yoga, barre, aerobic classes and more. It's can be a little like speed dating. So take your time and experience each one. Ask yourself, "which one do I enjoy?", "does my body respond positively?" Once you make the connection, you can add a little to the mix to protect against plateaus. Mix it up, have fun, and feel good.

While you are on the connection journey be sure to check out these potential loves:
