It is not necessarily because of laziness; most people find it difficult to purposefully create a new habit or to change old ones. You actually need to force yourself past the Honeymoon stage of 3 months, if you can get yourself into a routine and force yourself to continue for the second 3 month period, it will become habit and a more difficult one to dismiss.

Never Fail Secret 10 Day Fitness plan
Staying motivated to change your lifestyle can be very challenging and we can quickly become discouraged within the first couple of weeks. Why do we lose our determination so easily? Why are so many of us so quick to give up?
Some fitness experts suggest that this effect is caused by the lack of a plan. While it is always a good idea to have an ultimate goal, such as the ideal weight you would like to reach or the size you would like to be, that may not be enough to keep a person motivated. And while it is also a good idea to have some variety in your workout, trying something for two minutes and moving on to something else at random may not be effective.

Secret 10 Day Fitness Plan
When you are just beginning your personal journey to get fit or lose weight, it is important to develop a routine and keep track of what you do, how long you do it, how many repetitions, how much weight you use. This will help keep you aware of your progress, and to set new goals that you can attain. You also need to remember that it is not all about the weight scale. When you are dieting and working out, you may not lose much weight as you are building muscle. Therefore it can be more accurate to use your measurements to gauge your progress. Taking pictures every week or two may also help to keep you motivated. Just be sure to take them in the same location, around the same time of day, and in the same clothes (a bathing suit or shorts and a workout bra are best). Keep your pictures in a place where you will see them often.
If you have a difficult time staying committed to your fitness plan, you might try setting up reminders of your goals. For instance, preparing your gym bag ahead of time and placing it where it can not easily be overlooked, schedule it on your calendar or mobile device.
What may be most crucial in helping keep you motivated to achieve your fitness goals is a program which you can enjoy. Picking an exercise or diet plan because your friend, your co-worker, your neighbor had great success with it is how many people often fail. If you buy food that you do not even like, what is your incentive to prepare it? If you dislike being in a room full of people, signing up for group exercise classes may not be the best idea since you will dread every class!
If you can stay motivated, create attainable short term goals, acknowledge your progress, and enjoy your workout, you are sure to succeed! However, having a career or a family can certainly fill up ones calendar. If you find it too difficult to coordinate exercise classes or fitness center visits into your schedule, it might be worthwhile to learn about the most effective exercise techniques to build muscle during shorter workouts.
I was recently told by a Kinesiologist not to say to yourself that you have “Lost Weight” he stated it was because your body will enter a grief mode and try to recover what has been “Lost”, so he suggested the use of other words “Shred” or “Given Away” or anything else that is not discribed as a lose. Not sure if there is anything in it, but it sure has to be worth trying as a part of your diet and Lifestyle change.

Fitness in Your Fifties – Resolve to be Fit

So another year has gone by.  It’s hard to believe.  Did you notice that we are not getting any younger?  Each time another holiday season and New Year’s rolls around, it means we have another year under our belt.  The march of time continues…there is nothing we can do to reverse it…but it is in our power to slow it down.

 

Some older adults take the attitude, I’m just getting old and there is nothing I can do about it.  They don’t exercise.  They eat whatever they want, whenever they feel like it.  They may still smoke…despite decades of information on the hazards.  They don’t interact with other people on a regular basis.  Mind you there are a few that have the “just right” genetic make up and will stay as healthy as a horse and live to be 99.  They are the exception…not the rule.  For the rest of us baby boomers, doing nothing will shorten our lives and ruin the quality of life for the years we have left.

 

By the time you reach 50 you’d think you’d have made all the New Year’s resolutions you’d care to.  It’s actually very beneficial to take stock of your life once a year.  Review where you’ve been and where you’d still like to go.  Hopefully your 2008 Resolutions will include regular exercise.  By regular I mean the ACSM guidelines:

 

 

Can you make that kind of commitment to yourself?  You won’t regret a minute of it.  That regular exercise will help you feel better, as well as look better.  It will also strengthen your bones and increase their density.  It will lower your blood pressure and strengthen you heart.  It will help you sleep better and at the same time give you extra energy.  Surely you have 30-40 minutes/day that you can block out as “Your Time.”  That’s what exercise is…Your Time.  If you have the money, it’s worth the investment to either join a club or purchase equipment to workout at home.  I recently had a woman tell me that for her 55th birthday her gift to herself was a treadmill and a personal trainer.  She shared that it was the best money she’d every spent and worth every penny.  So what if your funds are limited?  Going to a mall and walking for 30-40 minutes is free.  So is going to a nearby school track (on a nice day).  A stability ball is a worthy investment of $30.  You can use it for sit ups…push ups…and sit on it to watch TV (which will continue to work on your core muscles).  Use the ball as a weight bench and add some weights…maybe cans of soup or chili?  For under $15 you can add on a rubber tube with handles.  These too will add resistance to your workout…which in turn will strengthen those muscles.  So a small budget is no excuse to skip a regular workout.

 

In addition to exercise…you need to commit to making healthy food choices…EVERYDAY. Stick to fresh fruits and veggies and limit your carbohydrates and fats.  Note I didn’t say “eliminate” carbs and fat…I said “limit.”  They can be excellent sources of energy, just consume them sparingly.  A good rule of thumb is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store and stay out of the aisles in the middle…as much as possible.  The outer walls is where you’ll find your produce, eggs, protein and dairy.  The majority of it is unprocessed and much better for you than the junk food lurking in the aisles of your grocery store.

 

You need to get enough sleep…at least 8 hours a night.  Planning regular social events are important to your emotional health.  Check into a class or group that you’ve always dreamed about attending.  Belonging to these classes or groups is about the time spent with other people socializing…as much as it is about participating in the activity.

 

There is at least ONE MORE resolution I’d like each of you to make.  Select something that you’ve always wanted to do or try.  Write it down and after it write…”will happen in 2009!”  Somehow putting it in writing makes it seem more real and you’re more likely to stick with it.  Plan to go skydiving…or backpacking…or snowboarding…or anything that challenges and excites you.  Once a year we need to tryout something new.  If you’ve never done that before…make 2008 the year to start!

 

Here’s to a healthy and happy New Year’s!

The Step-Ladder Towards Successfully Being Fit

Now that the New Year is upon us, have you set new plans on what it will take for you to become fit and healthy?  Now’s the time to step on the ladder towards your fitness transformation.

 

L – Look at yourself in the mirror…do you like what you see? Are you ready and willing to make a change for the better?

 

A – Allow yourself to not to place blame for past failures on you…the fat loss industry has allowed you to make ineffective decisions by giving out faulty information. It’s their fault.

 

D – Decide that today is a new day and new goals will be planned.  Never look back and you won’t go back.

 

D – Determine how your plan will begin to take shape. THINK BIG but take one small step at a time. Gradually, you will get to where you want to be.

 

E – Educate yourself on the latest trends in the fitness industry.  See out a fitness professional in your area and get the advice from an expert.

 

R – Reward yourself for your successes in life…no matter how small they may be.  Feeling good about your achievements will keep you in a positive mood and help you strive for future triumphs.

 

One of the greatest absurdities of life is that almost every person wants to improve their circumstances but they don’t ever want to improve themselves.   A person’s circumstances will automatically change when they do.  Follow these steps to see how far you can really grow.
