I started Taekwondo and love it. I would have never imagined liking that, but a friend suggested it and I thought "why not?"

Don't Be Afraid To Try Something New
Just like trying a new food each week, why not try a new exercise each week. Maybe by trying something new, we might find something we otherwise never thought we would enjoy. Also, trying something new shakes up our metabolism & gets it moving again. Try it you might like it!!
This is a great idea to fit into any part of your life you are feeling has the "same old, same old" feel. Try a new exercise or activity if you're getting bored. Try a new fruit or veggie, or just a new recipe if your meals are feeling blah. You can even try something new on the motivational side!!
