As my devoted members and clients were piling into the gym today to work up a sweat, I was reminded of the cliche that good health and fitness is a lifestyle, not a once a year resolution to ourselves that quickly dwindles as February rolls around. If you want to be fitter, stronger, lower your cholesterol, get off those high blood pressure medicines, then you need to make the changes - lasting changes that will help you achieve those goals. These tips are from myself and my clients who have successful lost 98, 82, 50, 45 pounds and profoundly changed their health. You can too!!
1. Decide what health, wellness and fitness goals you want to achieve. Why are they
important to you at this time. What else will you gain from achieving them?
2. What do you need in order to achieve them? A Weight loss group or do you want
a plan designed specifically for you based on your food bio-individuality and life style?
Hire a personal trainer. Try a new class. Get a buddy. Jot down the different
options you have.
3. Make one change each day and stick with it. Eat breakfast, add one fruit or veggie to your
diet or take out one soda or sweet. Walk or jump on the elliptical for 10 minutes. Increase your time
a little each day.
4. Keep track of your progress, even if just a quick note in a notebook or on your iphone calendar.
5. Get support and be social. You are more likely to enjoy your activities and stick to it if you are
doing it with someone.
Wishing you great success for all your "resolutions" in the New Year! ~ Rachel
