About this time of the year is often when people begin, and quit, their New Year Resoluion to get in shape. That's because this time of this year is also when you're the most sore you've been in a long time.

Being sore is part of exercising. The old, "No pain, no gain." saying has some truth. To get in shape you're going to have to have a few days of being sore. It's just the way your body feels when you exercise hard for the first time.

But it's also not the time to give up. Getting sore happens to everyone who works out. I often live in a constant state of soreness. We all get it.

Now the first time you workout you're going to get super sore for several days, but take heart. It won't get that bad again. The first time is really the worst. Just have some hot bathes and don't stop moving. It feels worse if you don't move.

Be tough. It will go away, and you are getting in much better shape. And the next time you won't be as sore. Just keep at it. You'll be in great shape in no time.
