This week's highlighted Q&A: Q: I desperately want to get in shape for my wedding, but I can't get around to pushing myself to. How should I motivate myself? A: The good news is that the hardest part is getting started. Once you get past the first few workouts, then it will be much easier because you'll start to see and feel the benefits of exercising. So you'll have more motivation. Of course, then the big question is how to get motivated to get started. It actually isn't that hard. The key is moderation. Don't try to do too much too soon. Start slowly. For example, if you are currently not exercising at all, don't try to go immediately from nothing to exercising 5 days per week. In this example I would suggest doing just 10 minutes of exercise 3 times per week during the first week then gradually adding more each week. Another important factor is to make sure that you are doing workouts that you enjoy. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. If you like rollerblading or playing basketball, then start with those types of activities. One of the best ways to get and stay motivated is when you have someone to be accountable to.
