Be Strong

I am the most athletically challenged person I know. Some people who weigh 2-3 times as much as I do are in more shape than I am. Carrying in groceries, standing up from sitting on the floor and even standing up for long periods of time are just a few things that have been difficult for me. My six years of major clinical depression are to blame for my physical incapabilities.

Any person that has experienced depression knows how hard it is to have to claw and fight your way out of that deep dark hole continuously just to continue breathing. Anyone who can withstand depression, let alone for multiple years, and still be alive today is STRONG. Not letting depression suck you into its depths and keep you there means that you are a FIGHTER.  Anyone with a strong enough mindset to not have committed suicide during a horrible mental illness can GET THROUGH ANYTHING.

"Where there is a will, there is a way."

You can do it. You have the capability to push yourself on a daily basis and move your body. It is by no means easy. In fact it may be that furthest thing from it. Whether it be P90X, another Beachbody workout, or any other physical activity that you chose, you are capable. It's all mental.

Now there are some exceptions, such as knee or back injuries, but the Internet is a glorious thing. There are many low-impact workouts out there. People are so creative in finding ways around obstacles that stand in the way between them and being healthy. Don't let anything stand in YOUR way. I'm not letting anything stand in mine.
