Do you struggle to find exercise you enjoy? Are you having a hard time sticking to an exercise plan that works for you? Do you feel overwhelmed by where to begin? That’s okay! Getting in shape (or back in shape) is on a lot of people’s to-do list but it can be a lot to think about. I want to try and break it down simply today and give you some ideas of where you can start today, even if you’ve tried and failed countless times before. As you probably know, exercise is a big part of taking care of your physical health, and really your mental health too. I discovered over the holiday break while my kids were home just how much I actually need my exercise time whether at the gym or outside running or biking. I wasn’t able to get away much from my children which was a blessing BUT my introverted side needed my me time and I think I had been taking it for granted. All that to say, having exercise as a regular part of your routine is so beneficial, probably more than you can imagine! I want to share today about three basic types of exercise and why they are beneficial as well as some mindset shifts, ways to find accountability and my #1 rule of thumb for sticking to your routine! This episode is jam-packed with information and encouragement and I can’t wait to share, so let’s get into it! May this bless you as you continue living healthy and empowered for the glory of God by the power of the Holy Spirit! In Joy,Lauren  P.S.
