Letâs clear something up right now: There is no âwrongâ starting point in fitness. Your starting point is simply where your body is todayâand being honest about that is not weakness. Itâs wisdom. For some people, starting where you are means lacing up your shoes and running a mile⌠or ten. If thatâs you, thatâs incredible.
