You must be kidding- That’s all it took??

According to a study that I read in the Journal of Health Psychology- don’t ask me how I got this thing- both men and women can get a better overall body image by working out. And apparently, it does not make any difference if they loose any weight or not. According to this article, just the act of going to the gym and working out in some capacity makes both men and women feel better about themselves.

I think that this is TRUE without question!! My experience was that I felt better about things almost from day one when I started working out… and I am here to tell you that it was a good month before you could look at me and tell that I had lost any weight.

So, go ahead- just get in the gym…. you will feel better no matter what happens… then if you stick with it, you will look better.

Get up! Get moving! Have a better life!!!!

I was sitting here thinking about Winter coming and if I should join a gym or not. Looking back into my past I agree with you that just working out made me at least feel like I was doing something right.

You know me, I’m a BIG proponent of working out at the gym. I think you do your best when others are watching. And the lessons learned in the gym really do carry over to regular life outside of the gym. The gym has done a lot for my self esteem and body image. Go gym!!!! :)
