My guest for this episode is my friend Jackie Lemus. At the end of college, she started feeling like she was feeling really uncomfortable in her skin and realized that a change needed to be made from her sedentary student obligations. So that&apos;s why she started, like a lot of us, using cardio machines at our local gyms.  Her exercise story started off with "How do I lose weight?" And it transformed into a question of "How do I get stronger? How do I increase my confidence and how do I continue to feel more powerful than I did yesterday?"To learn how she transitioned from the cardio machines to the weight room of the gym, check out Jackie&apos;s story!Resources:Goal-Setting Groundwork GuideSurveyMailing ListGym Class Revolution on InstagramJackie Lemus on Instagram

Here are my top 3 tips for sticking with New Year&apos;s Resolutions around exercise!1) Examine where is the mindset behind the goal? Is it positive loving energy? Or is it energy filled with resentment?2) Start as soon as possible (don&apos;t wait for Jan 1st) and start with baby steps to build confidence.3) Conduct your efforts like an experiment. If your plans go awry, examine how you can change your variables to produce a different outcome.
