Starting Exercise Over 40 Continued #8

Getting social support for your exercise is important. Not all of us need this, but if you do, then ask for it. Even if your family doesn't exercise with you, let them know that you need their support and encouragement. You can also find companions who are exercising and do it together. You can encourage one another.

Some of us do relish our alone time to listen to our favorite music of a book or the sound of our own breath while we exercise. That is OK too. Whatever works for you.

Know that there are local groups for walking, cycling, running, swimming and just about any other type of exercise you can think of. Join one of these groups.
