Fitness sites

I have recently been pursuing information about health and fitness, as it has become a necessary step in creating a more positive outlook. It is not something I want to walk into without any prior knowledge. Media and online searches can be overwhelming because of the vast amount of information out there saying new diets are good or bad and this exercise program is  better than that one. I searched and searched and bookmarked only a few sites in the end. They seem to focus on lifestyle change instead of diets or short term workout plans. I know a lot of people who are wanting to be healthier and take better care of their mind and bodies, so I would like to share what I have found:

This blog is super cool. It provides inspiration and good ways of approaching healthier living while making it all sound like an epic comic book/video game/movie adventure. Make no mistake though, it's serious stuff.

http://www.crossfit.com
This seems like a really awesome site. Looking at the forums and the comments and especially the structure of the exercises, I think this is something I want to keep in mind.

http://www.unique-bodyweight-exercises.com
This site is kind of intense, but since it focuses on exercises that use body-weight instead of dumbbells, kettle bells, etc. it is much less expensive than some other exercise plans and you can do it in your own home.

It seems like the hardest thing is just getting up and doing it. I think for me it is because I am so fearful of failing or looking silly. I stay on the sidelines. The change is a little intimidating too, but I know I have to take it one step at a time and have fun with it. I took the first step (no pun intended) and ran instead of walked to my boyfriend's ultimate frisbee game yesterday. YESSSS! It's a little victory, but an important one.

Hope you all are well,

B
