We feel that lifestyle fitness is the amount of fitness (greater than zero) [...]]]> The Healthy Goddess is now starting a new blog. It is about time the Goddesses have their own page separate from The Healthy Bride. The idea is to provide information that will assist Goddesses in their quest for lifestyle fitness.

We feel that lifestyle fitness is the amount of fitness (greater than zero) that truly fits into your busy, hectic schedule. That might sound corny, but in my opinion, the secret to being fit boils down to no more than being consistent with exercise. I realize that requires finding a level of exercise that truly does fit into your life and your schedule regardless of what else is going on in your world.

This might sound harsh, but the truth is that committing a few hours per week to exercise will help you sleep sounder, help you eat healthier, help you think more clearly, and be a better woman, mother, girlfriend or wife. It’s really not an option.

Where to begin? Start slow. Just add in 10 or 20 minutes of exercise (if you are starting at zero) per week to get things kick-started. Take a brisk walk around the block, or walk with your kids to the park, to school, or even the grocery store instead of driving. Don’t make it too hard or too complicated. Do this for two weeks, then add another 20 minute bout of exercise. It will be easy to go from one day to two, once you have been successful for a couple of weeks.
