Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to let you know that you can do it. It is very easy to be put off by a challenge, but with the attitude of just giving it a go, you can do it.

I never used to like anything sporty/active AT ALL. When I tell people this these days they just stare at me with disbelief because keeping fit is something I love. I love exercise. 
When I was younger the only times I really wanted to get off my sofa and do something was when I'd watch Helen Skelton taking on some kind of crazy, amazing Blue Peter challenge. I thought to myself 'I could do something like that', but always doubted my abilities as far as physicality goes. 

I remember my mum having to convince me to attend my first Zumba class. I did not want to go. I thought I'd be rubbish at it and that it would be awkward/embarrassing. I was wrong. Over a year and a half later and here I am, about to train to become a Zumba instructor (this Sunday). EEEEK!
What I'm saying is: you don't know until you try. Be brave and give it a go. You might end up hating it and never doing it again OR you may just end up loving it. 

If you don't give things a go or challenge yourself you won't get anywhere. You have to take the plunge and do it, otherwise you won't improve. Progression leads to success.
