Yes, wanting to lose weight can be your reason to begin.
That is one of the reasons I began too. Début recognizes that desire without promising that a small amount of exercise will make the pounds you want to lose disappear.
You do not have to wait until you reach your weight goal to gain pride, ease, and confidence in what your body can do.
A book you can return to.
When you begin, when you want to progress, or after several weeks away, you can reopen it where it will help most.
Where am I today, and where can I begin again?
Maeve · Author of Début
This time, I had kept going.
I began by walking. Today, at almost 50, I still walk and I work out at the gym four times a week.
I wanted to understand what had changed. My story gave me a question; research on behavior change and physical activity helped inform the method.
Before you begin.
Is this for me if I barely move now?
Yes. Début is designed in particular for women who move little or struggle to continue. Your starting point considers your life, your mind, and your body.
Do I have to walk for an hour or go to the gym?
No. A one-hour walk was my starting point. You will find yours. Strength is a possibility to discover, not a required destination.
Do I need the app to use the book?
No. The book helps you understand and use the method with its tools. The app offers day-to-day support if you choose to use it too.
You do not need to be ready for everything that comes next.
You only need to know where to begin now.
