    great advice… scale into exercise gradually and let the benefits build up and pull you along, rather than pushing yourself to do more… find an activity that keeps drawing you back into it because the results feel good…

      This was key for me. I spent way too much time working way too hard, like 9 out of 10 exertion. I dreaded just getting started. I’ve now found that I can make better gains working in the 5 to 7 range, and I look forward to my workouts.

        that’s really well said… and then learning to truly value rest and good food…
