Several years ago I had a friend who's husband wanted to learn to play the guitar. I told her that my hubby taught and would be glad to teach him. She later called me and said her husband didn't want to take lessons until he learned to play a little so he didn't look dumb at his first lesson............Backwards thinking you say? Many of us look at exercising in the same way. You don't want to join a gym or start personal training because you are out of shape and you don't want to look dumb. How are you going to get into shape then? Starting is the first step and being great will follow.
