Hey Sarah,
that's such an interesting post. I think it's great you included important information: that physical exercises don't have to be boring/limited to a treadmill, how to start using YouTube videos or other web sources... and the story of your own beginnings put a smile on my face - it's especially encouraging for people with little gym experience. You prove that nobody starts this journey with all the knowledge. I also felt silly trying out some equipment at the gym that I had no idea how to use Now I pay attention to every kind of physical movement during the day and it turns out that, even though I train 5 times a week, I still move quite a lot apart from that. For example I live on the 3rd floor without a lift, so I go up and down the stairs a few times a day; I walk the dog three times a day; I try to cycle instead of driving when possible. I'm writing about all this because people, especially when starting their fitness journey, often believe that a day is wasted when they don't complete any specific trainings. It's important to train whenever possible (while giving the body some time to regenerate), but don't blame yourself if you don't have motivation to train for a day, two or even a week. Every small movement counts!
