Preparing Your Mind As Well As Your Body For 2009!
Have you physically and mentally prepared yourself for the choices you are making for 2009? Winter is in full swing and the New Year has come. How are your exercise resolutions coming along?
How Fast Can You Gain an Additional 5 Pounds?
We're always asking ourselves, how fast can we lose it, but have you ever given thought to how fast we can gain it back? I'll let you in on a little secret; it didn't take me long at all.
Don't Do It! New Year's Resolutions Don't Last!
How many years have we found ourselves doing the same old thing? At the first of the year we make that resolution to get in shape and stay in shape. Everyone does it, that's why the health clubs are so busy in January then by Valentine's Day most of us don't even know the way to the gym. The health clubs don't care, they got our money. We keep paying them each month hoping we will just go back, then life takes over.
Motivation - Of Course You Care What Others Say About You!
Have you ever said any of these to yourself? I am sick of dieting. I wish I knew the correct way to achieve my fitness goals. I hate the way my clothes fit. I am sick and tired of being fat. I wish I had more energy. I want to look like her or him. I'll start my diet on Monday.
You Finally GET It!
Get what you ask; getting the big picture. I have had friends, family and clients that just don't understand that exercise is a lifetime commitment and a lifestyle change.

When Did You Make A Conscious Choice To Live An Unhealthy Life?
Think about that question, because everything we do is a choice, we choose to act, choose to disregard or choose to put it off. Because that's exactly what you have done, if your not in the shape you want to be in, if your health is not as important to you as you say it is and if you keep making excuses to start taking care of yourself.
Set Yourself Up For Achievement Not Failure
Many of you began your new year with resolutions of losing weight and getting in shape, and then you bought into the surplus of quick fix solutions and restrictive diets for fast weight loss. You started seeing results but you couldn't follow them long term. Diets aren't meant to be followed long term anyway.
Don't Let A Health Crisis Be Your Motivator
Starting an exercise program is hard enough isn't it? No matter what you plan or how easy it looks, it really isn't as easy as you thought it would be to integrate into your daily living. One of the tricks is to make it fun so that you stay motivated.
Ok - So You Did It - Is It Still Working For You?
So we’re about a month into the New Year. How is that fitness resolution coming along? Are you still on target? Did you know that according to statistics, most people have already given up on those resolutions! You don’t have to panic.
Realism Helps Shed Pounds
