Personal Trainer- What would you say to someone who is new at our Y, and is looking to kickstart a healthy lifestyle?I feel like people overthink things, and if you just go to the gym, you are already doing a lot for yourself. Once you get your foot in the door, take it step by step. Don’t freak out too much about the diet, because there is a lot of information, and over time you’ll start to know what works for you. If you focus on it becoming a lifestyle, then you’re more likely going to stick to it.
