Motivation and Inspiration!!

So if this doesn't motivate me, nothing will!! I stopped by my parents after the gym today and found my younger sister (23) in the basement on the treadmill.  Big deal you ask, well my sister has cerebal palsy and can't walk without the assistance of cruches, and sometimes she uses a wheelchair.  All this means that it is very difficult for her to get around the house, much less get much exercise in.  So if she can walk on the treadmill (very slowly, yes) everyday to get in some exerciese, and walking 15 minutes for her is probably like sprinting 15 minutes for me.  Then I have NO excuse for not getting in a workout.  If she can do it so can I!!  It's not only motivation for me to get off my butt and get moving, but inspirational that she does it even though it is so difficult for her.

Good for your sister...

for motivating you like that!  That is awesome! 

That is great!

I know what you mean. That is definently is great motivation.  My mom has GBS and is wheel chair bound and she does the sit and be fit exercise program everyday.
