Hey phaboulous ones!
So, if you're getting phit, how do you start? Simple and slow is the key.
1. Stretch. It doesn't have to be the mother of all stretches, but make sure your legs are stretched they are you most important asset! Do it every day.
2. Start! Do something today. Walk, if you can jog and you want to, jog. Sure there may be some of you out there that can do more faster - I used to too - but for the rest of you start with something that won't *hurt* you first. It's important to get the body used to moving before you push too hard. Start too fast and you end up with injuries.
3. Hydrate. Don't go nuts, you don't have to. Sure there are lots of people that tell you to drink gallons of water. You don't have to. Better, drink a couple of litres for the day (two of those little Aquafina bottles) and drink some iced green tea - way better for you.
That's it for now. Stay tuned, I'll be adding more information as we go!

If anyone can help me get better, more consistent with my fitness plan, this may be it!
I rejoice with you that you are doing that which means so much to you. My back is almost back to normal and I look forward to my longer walks again.
Interesting use of a blog.
