Do you want to make changes in your health, how about your body?
Start with these 7 things – now! Reach your fitness goals in 2015! Make it your best year ever!
I don’t know about you but I am a busy person. Anything I can do to become more organized is great, so I say bring it on! I hope these tips help you to become more organized and help you to reach your 2015 health and fitness goals. So here goes…..
1) Choose exercise wisely
Don’t waste your time! Choose an exercise program that will work for you. You want it to be fun so that you will keep going. You want to get the most out of your time so don’t play around. You want to get the most benefit – so lift weights.
2) Have Structure
Put your eating and workout plan in writing. Treat it like any other appointment and put it on the calendar. This is my plan – cook on Sundays chicken, fish, steak, sweet potatoes. Monday work legs, Wednesday work Chest and back, Thursday work arms and shoulders. Do cardio in-between clients.
When I cook ahead I know what I am going to be eating. I add veggies and my meal is ready.
3) Commit to seeing the results
Visualize what your life will be like when you are fit and healthy. Use affirmations each morning as you look in the mirror. Here is a good list of affirmations or make your own http://www.self-help-and-self-development.com/health-affirmations.html. Also, take a good honest look at your body to see if there are any changes. My affirmation is, I am healthy, I am fit, I am strong, I am happy . Say your affirmation out load and make sure you mean it.
4) Focus on todays goal
On Sunday just focus on your goal for Sunday., cooking. Get up early get a cup of coffee and head out to the grocery store. Come back and start cooking. It should take no more than an hour or two. No big deal you still have the rest of the day. On Monday focus on your leg workout, just get it done and move on. I think you get the idea. Don’t forget to treat your plan like a business meeting be there on time and get it done!
5) Do this new cleanse
This new cleanse is the best! It’s so easy you won’t believe it! It goes like this, “JUST EAT REAL FOOD”! How cool right! If you have been eating sugar and crap food, eating real food will be enough of a cleanse for you. You might even have flu-like systems for the first few days while the body is getting rid of all the junk. If you signed up for this blog you should have gotten the list of real foods. It is a long list and you also would have gotten a list of my fat burning smoothies. I will put my fat burning soup recipe on next week.
6) Strengthen up – lift heavy weights
This is where woman sometimes slack. You have to lift heavy weights! I don’t mean you have to pick up a 50 lb dumbbell. Heavy for you would be if you can lift a weight for more than 12 to 15 reps and not be at failure. If this is the case than you should go heavier. This is not for everyone but for most of you. Don’t worry, you are not going to look like a man. You will look strong, fit, and healthy.
7) Forget crunches stand up to work your core
Whats with doing all the crunches! (Read my blog about abs; https://elitephysiquesinc.com/2014/04/strengthen-flatten-abs/). Crunches are bad! They cause shortened hip flexors, cause bad posture, and work the outer muscles instead of the deep muscles. Better ways to work the abs are by doing a plank. wood chops with a cable, exercises standing on a bosu. Think of exercises you can do standing and you will get flat-hard abs in no time, if you’re eating clean.
