Quick Tip Tuesday Equip Yourself For Success

Believe it or not, my husband did not own a pair of athletic sneakers until yesterday. None of his shoes were adequate for intense walking/jogging or other forms of exercise. We have been making plans to be more active, starting this summer, but he didn't even have the basic necessities! So we headed out to take advantage of some Memorial Day sales.

If you have a goal, like getting more exercise, it's important to have all the right equipment. It's going to be really difficult to motivate yourself to go running if you don't have comfortable shoes. If you don't have the right clothing to wear while exercising, you will probably have a miserable time. Set yourself up for success with the right tools. Now, S has his own sneakers, a new water bottle, and some new shorts. He is good to go whenever we get the urge to get moving.

Make things easy for yourself. Get the tools you need to meet your goals. If you want to learn to cook great meals, invest in a quality frying pan. If you want to learn to play the guitar, make sure you have the instrument and extra strings, picks, tuners, books etc. I think you get the point. It's great to try new things, and if you equip yourself for success, you'll have a better chance at finding something you love.

What new things are you trying this summer? Let me know in the comments below!
