I am part of a new program called Women Out Walking sponsored by our health department. I'm much more accommodating about this now that it is getting nice here in the midwest. Winter, not so much. I have noticed that many people are getting active. Then there are truly many people who have always been active. I have found that those who were involved in sports, etc. when they were younger maintain that activity. I am old enough that sports was not as big of an issue or as accessible, so I don't come by the naturally active lifestyle. I have always been busy on weekends and played tennis, sail, etc. but as we get older, it takes more than that! Now I have added biking and walking. The women out walking shoots for a goal of 10,000 steps per day. WOW, I say. Perhaps you can check out this blog.
So, yes, you can do it. Today as I was walking, I realized it is easy to stop yourself because it is easier, when really, it is not that hard to keep going. Today, i consciously kept going, and realized I could keep going. When I go to the gym, I have pushed myself further than before on the treadmills, and realized how much is just a mindset! Again, some of that is "jock" vs. "non-jock". Remember, I was never a jock. So, pushing myself physically is newer when it comes to exercise. So, keep on going.
