How I got over the ‘fear’ of exercising

We’ve all had it right? ‘I want to go out for a run but I’m so fat people will stare’ ‘what if I can only run for 5 minutes?’ ‘I don’t want to jog along main roads because it’s too exposed’…..
….. So after you’ve debated that and figured out you’re not going for a jog, you find you may aswell have another slice of Red Velvet cake because some people are just not meant to be healthy, right? WRONG.
If you’re starting out exercising, it is an horrifying / gruelling process at first, but everyone is entitled to find out how good it feels, no matter how big you are to start off with. 
Here are my tips on how to get up and go TODAY: 
Don’t be embarrassed: there are plenty of people out there in your / my situation that aren’t doing anything about it, you’re getting up and trying to improve your lifestyle and that is admirable! 
Find some one who is doing something similar (like me)!: It’s always good to have a shoulder to cry on / a person to jog with / a gym buddy – also they can be there to remind you how well you’re doing, which is a great feeling? 
Take it slow: So you’re going for your first jog, let’s be realistic you are not going to be jogging for 30 minutes straight, especially if you was a previous smoker. For the first week just try and go 10 minutes of walking and running and then progress in the weeks on from this. 
Block out any negativity: Don’t let other people get you down / persuade you – you know what is right for you, if you’re on a health kick and your ‘friend’ is constantly you offering you to go down the pub just reject them and explain the situation. If they mock you / don’t understand, they probably ain’t worth having as a friend.
So, what are you waiting for?
