If you’re like some, the quest to be in shape and manage weight sometimes can feel overwhelming. And, as if the quest to be fit isn’t hard enough, there are often other obstacles to overcome: health issues, time management, mustering up courage or energy. Even if you’ve been exercising for a long time, there are always new barriers to be broken. So, how to put all of this into perspective?  Read on about 3 Principles For Overcoming Fitness Obstacles Now

According to Tom Turner, executive liaison for the Spina Bifida Association that’s exactly it: Perspective. And also, according to him, there’s no mountain too high to climb. Tom would know. Paralyzed from the waist down since birth he’s now 35 and trains about three times a week. In fact, he tells me, he just couldn’t get along without exercise.
 
So in my quest for the last word on overcoming barriers in fitness, Tom came up with 3 basic principles that will help break down fears and intimidations when striving to reach fitness goals. (After all, if he can
exercise on a regular basis, shouldn’t that be encouragement enough for anyone
to give it a shot?)
 
Principle #1 – Move Into The Fear.

Train your mind to believe no mountain is too high or any goal is too difficult to attain, Tom tells me. Basically, it’s all about meeting your fears and facing them head-on. In this principle, aim to recognize
your fears, acknowledge them and then move through them. Ask yourself what is it that makes you uncomfortable? Have you let yourself get out of shape and are afraid you’ll never get back? Do you have an injury that’s caused you to be afraid of your body? If you can visualize creatively, then you can put your
fears in check. See yourself as you’d like to be. Remember: your body loves you and has the potential to heal itself to perfection. Your only job is to trust
it and listen.
 
Q: What is your body saying to you?
 
Principle #2 – Trust Your Intuition.
