FINDING INSPIRATION

What drives you? What gets you out of bed every morning and drives you to go to work? For all of us, the answer is probably different. However, we do all have that goal in mind and will do whatever it takes to get there.

Last night as I sat and watched "The Biggest Loser," I was amazed at how driven the contestants are. All of them had different reasons for wanting to lose weight, but each one was willing to work just as hard as the other.

Fitness is just like anything in life, we have to have a reason for doing something. Why do you want a better body? Do you want to be more active for your kids,? Do you want to bring back your younger years? No matter what the reason may be, TAKE ACTION!! Set your goal and remind yourself everyday why you are working so hard. I promise that this added inspiration will make the process more enjoyable and more successful!

STAYING COMMITTED TO WORKING OUT

So many of Americans sign up for gym memberships or say they are going to get fit, but why is the obesity epidemic still rising? The truth is staying committed to a fitness routine can be difficult. How can we overcome this, and be successful? Try some of these ideas:

1. Schedule your workouts as if they were an appointment on your calendar, choose the same time each day. Consistency is key with working out, and there is no better way than making it part of a daily routine.

2. Try working out in the MORNING. This will eliminate almost any excuse for missing your workout and you WILL feel more energized throughout the day.

3. Find a workout partner or coach. Having accountability can go a long way in helping you stay committed.

4. Measure results!! We see ourselves everyday so its often hard to visibly see changes, but if you measure the numbers don't lie! An inch loss on the thighs can be a great source of motivation for the following weeks workouts.

You've made the commitment to yourself, now keep it!!!

Not all Fats are Created Equal

TODAYS NUTRITION TIP:

For the last couple decades, fat is being blamed as the reason for our country's obesity epidemic in addition to other things like heart disease and high cholesterol. Unfortunately, the "low fat" foods that we are consuming are actually more the culprit. What we need to understand is that the TYPE of fat is what is important. Eating Saturated and Trans fats are never a good idea, but we do need to be sure to get our daily doses of mono and poly unsaturated fats! Try incorporating things like avocado, peanuts, and olive oil into your diet and watch the bodyFAT melt away :)
