Guided Beginnings
You know how there’s still a stigma attached to seeking help from a therapist or psychologist even when you’re so obviously struggling through a mental turmoil? Just because society labels anyone who seeks psychological help as ‘mad’ or ‘insane’ people avoid going to the shrink even when they most need it. The same stigma is attached to obese people seeking help from a physical fitness expert or professional trainer. In both circumstances – this stigma is equally baseless. Seeking professional guidance and expertise before you begin to take your life into a new direction in terms of your health is one of the best things that you can do for yourself. There is absolutely no shame in asking for help or assistance from someone who is obviously more qualified than you and can clearly help you navigate what may seem like very murky waters. Losing weight is a physically and mentally stressful endeavor, one that can really affect a person’s selfesteem and not in a good way – especially when you are slow to see results. A physical fitness expert may help you get into the right direction in terms of introducing physical movement in your life in a way that is beneficial for you and takes into consideration any and all health limitations you might have. With a guided beginning, you can develop a fitness routine and program based on your abilities, capabilities, and fitness goals in easily achievable ways. The first and foremost thing to do, before you begin any fitness journey, whether it’s diet based, or physical activity based is to consult your primary healthcare provider.
