The attitude about New Year Resolutioners in the gym, is typically negative. I hear it all the time. 'They' take our parking spaces, benches, and favorite "spot" in class! 'They' move in the wrong direction in kick box, take all the weights in lifting class, and crowd the gyms.
What if, instead of glaring at them this year, we welcome them? What if, our smile, encouragement and offering of comradery, gave just one more person the desire and strength to cross over as a regular in the month of May instead of dropping out by March? What if?
Food for thought: Nothing is more intimidating then walking into gym for the first time without a clue....except when everyone who has a clue glares at you like you're in the way.
Let's see how many we can bite with the fitness bug!
Happy New Beginnings!
Thanks for all of the inspiration and encouragement! U ROCK! Angie
