    I used to hate running. Now I run a 5k at least twice a week, sometimes more often. last week I ran 4.5 miles straight because I felt like it.. Go figure..

    I used to hate lifting. Now you'd have to pry the weights out of my cold dead hands...

    Where do you start?? You just start! Move your body. Do something. Anything. Walk more, jog, climb stairs, take yoga or zumba or spin. Anything you think will be fun. Then try something else and then something else.

    I went to an ultimate frisbee pick up game, having never heard of the sport before. I'm not a big soccer fan, so I was sure i'd hate it. I was so wrong. I'm totally hooked. I can't wait for it to start up again.

    My point is.. Just start. Just keep doing things and trying them. I've learned you have to give everything at least 3 or 4 tries to know if you actually like it or not. So that's my advice. Try everything 3 or 4 times before you place it in the no column.
