New Year's is generally a time for new beginnings for most people. We look at it as a clean slate, a blank canvas, and an opportunity to succeed where we may have fallen short in the past.
However, New Years is also a time when we get sucked into the mindset that we need to do something completely new or different to achieve our goals when in reality, we really just need to be consistent with our efforts.
If you already have workout DVDs, a nutrition plan, etc. and just need help being consistent, join my accountability group starting January 9, 2016 - we are going to use the tools you ALREADY HAVE to get you the results you want! RSVP HERE
When you search for health and fitness answers today you are likely flooded with information, an overwhelming amount of entirely too much conflicting advice. To compound the problem, a significant amount of this information comes to you in the form of tantalizing get-fit-quick schemes like fad diets, the latest workout crazes, miracle pills and wraps, and a whole host of other things that promise quick results with little to no effort or investment.
It is only natural, especially if you are a fitness novice or returning after a long hiatus, to be sucked in by the promise that you can quickly and easily obtain the fit body that you want. The truth is, you can obtain that body. The lie is that it will come to you quickly and easily.
Deep down, you and I both know that these quick fixes are anything BUT. They are not fixes at all. You KNOW what you need to do, it is now a matter of doing it, and doing it consistently.
So, as a reminder, what is it that you need to be doing to achieve your health and fitness goals?
(1) Be Active - a regimen complete with cardio, resistance/weight training, and proper recovery days.
(2) Eat Real Food - stop eating processed junk and instead focus on eating real foods in controlled portions
(3) Drink - no, I'm not talking about alcohol; drink WATER, at least half your body weight in ounces of water on a daily basis
(4) Get Rest - we live in a world where "busy" is the new norm and saying you got 4 hours of sleep is a badge of honor but you NEED sleep to lose weight and build muscle
(5) Be Accountable - most of us think we can do it all ourselves, but truth is, we are so much more successful when we work with others; find a workout buddy, join a community, etc.
(6) Be Consistent - this is the key right here; do all of the above CONSISTENTLY over time to achieve your fitness goals
If you need help with any of these steps - a new workout, a portion controlled nutrition plan, an accountability group, etc. - do not hesitate to reach out! Again, if you already have workout DVDs, a nutrition plan, etc. and just need help being consistent, RSVP HERE to join my accountability group starting January 9, 2016.
I hope this was helpful and I look forward to working with you consistently to achieve both of our goals!!!
