Happy Monday, !

Ever felt the urge to dive headfirst into a new fitness routine, only to hit a wall weeks later? You're not alone. Here's the thing: your body needs time to adapt—more time than you might think. 

Fitness progress happens in stages: 

1. **Heart health improves first** (within a month). 

2. **Muscles start building** (around 8 weeks). 

3. **Bone density strengthens** (after 6 months). 

4. **Tendons and ligaments take 9+ months** to catch up. 

This mismatch is where injuries often occur. Your muscles and cardiovascular system might be ready for more, but your joints need extra care. 

The solution? Start slower. Treat your first few months as a foundation for long-term success. Focus on strengthening ligaments and tendons to avoid setbacks and keep moving forward. 

Consistency beats intensity every time. Play the long game—your body will thank you.
