This is a conversation that I am excited to have.  In fitness and our chosen activities, I think that so many folks need to take a slow, but deliberate approach. ie build or progress slowly with consistency while building frequency, duration.  Committing for the long-term is the only way.  However, our entire social system is more geared to the opposite.  More often I witness a get it now, get as much as you can and disregard everything else type of approach.  Whether we are seasoned as athletes with years of training or whether we honestly just want to take our first try at a fitness or competitive activity (at any age) we will do best when we have RESPECT for our bodies.  Most of the time it's the only body we have although there is such a thing as joint replacement.  (OEM is really the best though) - however, I do have a dear friend who had a heart transplant at a young age...  But I digress. You, yourself regardless of your current state of being, along with the way you move and the attitude you display in your fitness pursuit can be just as inspirational when exhibited in a thoughtful committed exercise program or to a chosen activity.
