“If you love what you do, you won’t work a day in your life” origin unknown

 

Fitness Motivation:

Do you know what day it is for me???????

It’s Zumba class tonight!

I’ve talked affectionately about dance classes and especially for this Brazilian dance craze.

The wonderful part is:

is that it’s TOUGH.

My heart is racing.

I drink a TON of water.

And I’m using my arms, my legs and my core the ENTIRE time.

But I LOVE IT.

It doesn’t even feel like exercise.

It certainly doesn’t feel like running (which I detest)

MOST often,

people don’t stick to something -

because they’re not good at it.

They don’t enjoy it.

They’re not in ‘flow’ with it

SO

Don’t expect to stick to exercise

IF you don’t like what you do.

Anything ACTIVE is really exercise

Do you like to play sports?

Do you like to be in a group exercise setting?

Do you like running?

Don’t stay in Yoga if you HATE it (which I did)

and don’t stay in an aerobics class if you’re not coordinated.

DO SOMETHING you love.

And you will stick to it.

Happy Thursday Everyone!

I watched this last night and LOVED it.

It was great to watch that while flipping to the Biggest Loser Family Edition.

SO NICE to see all this motivation all day long. This is a great opportunity to find great role models of REAL people. What I loved most about the show (and the Biggest Loser actually) is the focus on EXERCISE.

Some people think they can diet without exercise - YOU CAN - BUT! You will have long term benefits by exercising your way to a healthier body.

It’s now 3 months until the end of 2008. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???

This is the time when I usually start getting into gear with my goals - I prepare for all the festivities and FOOD ahead…and the best part of this season?

LESS PEOPLE AT THE GYM.

I’ve already noticed a decline actually. It’s not GOOD in the sense that I want EVERYONE to workout all the time regardless of weather, but at the same time…it sure feels good to get your favorite exercise machine!

Here are some things that I would suggest you do to prepare for the New Year’s 3 month countdown:

1) Create goals for bringing in a totally NEW  you in 2009.

2) Re-look at your group exercise schedules and plan for some new classes to try out.

3) CHOOSE your ‘cheat days’ - normally, mine is once a week, BUT if there are holidays, I switch days.

4) Get some cool new workout clothes to get you motivated. (and it’s cheaper now than it will be during the New Year)

5) Plan some winter adventure trips that creates a lot of activity.

6) Start committing yourself to WRITING EVERYTHING you eat down to keep you accountable.

 
Make your list now! It’s the1st!

“Nothing is more revolting than the majority; for it consists of few vigorous predecessors, of knaves who accommodate themselves, of weak people who assimilate themselves, and the mass that toddles after them without knowing in the least what it wants” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Fitness Motivation:

If you want to be FIT

Then expect to be in the minority.

Most people are dealing with being overweight or obese.

Most people spend evenings watching tv instead of exercising.

Most people don’t know the calories in a cheeseburger

or how much they eat in one day.

MOST people don’t excel to their potential.

Most people don’t realize a reality farther from the present.

Most people don’t reach their goals.

The masses will persuade you to be less than what you are -

The masses will want you to assimilate to the fat culture we’ve breeded in America.

REALIZE THIS.

In order to create results

You will deal with opposition.

You will not resonate with everyone.

You will often feel alone.

BUT

In doing so

You will complete things

Only a few people can do.

Happy October Everyone!
