Consistency is KEY!
You HAVE to be consistent with your Diet…
You HAVE to be consistent with your fitness routine…
If you are not consistent you can not expect the results that you would like!
Only YOU can make the right changes to help you achieve your health and fitness goals!
Progress will take time…be patient and KEEP WORKING HARD!
…Everyone has an excuse as to why the can’t workout/eat healthy…
“I Don’t Have Time.”
…did you know they have 24 hour gyms!? so now you can plan your day on when you CAN find time to workout!
“I’m Too Tired.”
…if you start working out regularly studies have shown that people GAIN power, strength, energy, and endurance to get them through their day!
“I Don’t Get a Break From the Kids.”
…did you know that some gyms offer day care! Or you can ask a local church, friends/family, or seek other options to find child care for an hour so you can work out!
“Exercise Is Boring.”
…then you must not do the right things! There are so many FUN options available for you to workout and have fun at the same time! Can you honestly tell me that Zumba is NOT fun!?
“I can’t afford it.”
…if you can not afford a monthly gym membership try workout videos or even trying to create your own workout to do at home!
“I don’t want to get bulky.”
…SORRY LADIES! Doing simple exercise and strength training will NOT get you big and bulky…
“I don’t know how to exercise.”
…this is your ONE and only time it is OK to be a stalker! Go to the gym and look around and watch what other people are doing! DO not try to lift as heavy as they are but you can try some of their moves. Or you can Go to the gym and ask a worker or even other people working out for some suggestions!
Any more excuses?
I have an answer to resolve it!!
This has become so true for me.
Once you get in the groove of eating healthy and working out regularly the gym feels like a 2nd home…or your get away place.
When I am having a bad day…when I need to let off some steam…those are the days I look forward to going to the gym!
Nothing is better than letting your anger out bu working out harder!
You can run it out…lift it out…we have kick boxing at our gym…and even our circuit training class has some exercises that allow you to hit a tire or throw a ball at the wall…
YOU have to find your rhythm and what works best for you!
YOU have to want it bad enough to make the change in YOUR life!
Why not start today!?
need a different routine to add to YOUR workout…
try this KILLER Abdominal workout!
remember to get those ABS you want you HAVE TO EAT RIGHT! AND BE PATIENT!
Results take DEDICATION and most importantly TIME!
Keep working hard guys!
YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOALS!

Hey my fellow fitness junkies!
OK so I want to say sorry for lack of substantial post this week!
Between work and a HUGE project I am working on for the site I kinda slacked with getting my post together
BUT…I did not want to just leave you guys with nothing this week so i just wanted to post at least one more inspirational post to help keep you guys motivated about your health and fitness goals for this week!
So do not forget to stick to your goals! I am sure ALL of you have been doing great ALL week…so try to stick with it over the weekend! Stay motivated… stay Focused! Oh…and Happy Friday 
With most aspects in life you have a goal
…positive goals at work…
…positive financial goals…
…positive health and fitness goals…
But how do you stay focused to achieve these goals?
Do you write them down? Do you review them on a regular basis? Do you think of personal rewards when you achieve these goals?
When it comes to health and fitness goals it is a good idea to have one main goal. For example, you would like to lose 50 pounds. That is a great overall goal to have in mind. When you have your overall goal in mind the next thing you need to do is set mini goals. Here are some examples of mini goals:
- I will work out 3…4…or 5 days a week
- I want to lose at least 5 pounds a week (which is realistic but you have to work hard for it!)
- I will stop having cokes and switch to water
- I will limit how many times I eat fast food
- I will create a menu for each week and stick to what I have on that menu
When you have your main goal and your mini goals set there is one more step you should take!! You should set a reward for yourself! YES A REWARD! What is better motivation to reach your goals than to reward yourself with something you have wanted but have put off getting yourself.
If you give up sweets for a certain period of time, yes you can reward yourself with ice cream after achieve so many of your mini goals. But the best reward you set should be for reaching your overall goal. Here is a GREAT idea a friend send to me…
For each workout that she has done, her husband will place $1 in her workout jar. Currently her goal is to lose 30 pounds and she has estimated this to take about 8 weeks to achieve this goal. Working out 5 days a week for 8 weeks will allow her to rack up around $40! Wait there is more! If she reaches her goal BEFORE the 8 weeks is over her husband will DOUBLE the amount of money that is in the jar on the day she reaches her goal. Talk about motivation! She is allowed to use that money on WHATEVER she wants…new clothes…new shoes…or a night out with her and her friends to celebrate her fitness success.
When it comes to reaching your health and fitness goals, having motivation is so important! You have to have something that will push you to work hard and dig deep during your workouts. You have so have something that will push you to stay away from the wrong foods and eat foods that will nourish your body!
Along with that motivation you need support from those around you and encouragement.
Other than the positive physical benefits you will achieve from your health and fitness goals, it is important to have something that you can reward and treat your self with.
Any day is a great day to start your new health and fitness routine….why not start today!
