challenge yourself

Everyday is a new day.  We start fresh and new.  Make each day a special day, make it count. 

Workout

Don't have time to work out? How many times have I heard that? At the very minimum do 10 push ups a day. Do them in the morning or in the evening, does not matter. This not only works your upper body but it will give you an entire body work out. Plus, it should only take about three to four minutes.

What happens if you can not do 10 push up? Well simple start with as many as you can do and build from there. If it is only ones, than do one. Everyone has their own starting point. If you do ne push up a night in a week you will be doing two. The most important thing is that you do it.

Stay fit, stay healthy.

METABOLISM

Like most people we all would love to eat all we want and never gain weight. Wouldn't that be a dream come true.  But when reality sets in we all get older and we all need to watch what we eat and get plenty of exercise.

In this post I will tell you about some of the foods that will  help you speed up your metabolism so that you will not have to worry as much, as you normally do.

1. drink lots of water.
2.Eat calcium enriched foods. 
3. Stop the alcohol.
4.Eat constantly, but eat healthy.
5. Destress yourself.  Try yoga.
6. Decrease the diet soda.
7. Soak up the warm sun and get some fresh air.
8. Increase the weight bearing exercise.
9. Increase the vitamin C.
10. Vitamin B is the key.
11.Drink green tea.
12.Eat oily fish.

Remember these are all just suggestions.  Everyone is unique and different and what works well for one person might not work for the other.  Find out what works for you and stick with it. 

Remember, eat well, stay fit, stay healthy.

Let's set another goal.

There is one thing that I have always said to all of my clients.  "You do not need to spend a lot of money on fancy gym equipment to get into shape."  In fact, when I go to someones house, I have been known not to use any equipment at all.  These next few weeks I will explain how to do this and still get a good work out. 

For example, instead of spending lots of money on free weight, think about how much you, your self weigh, and you can simply use your own body weight in your work out. 

But, if you are the type of person that must have your own home gym than that can be accomplish with as little as $500. 

Just remember to keep checking back for more updates and work outs.

Stay fit and stay Healthy.

I am a Saint

I just got the biggest compliment yesterday from a fellow mom.   "You have the Patience of a Saint"   WOW.  I thought to myself, I really do.  I took this compliment to heart and this is the year that I will start to pat myself on the back.   But I need to remember that it is equally important to give compliments as it is to get compliments.   When you give you always get in return.  I call it "instant gratification."  If everyone would try this it would make this world a better place to live. 

Being a personal trainer I not only teach people how to be physically fit on the outside but to be fit on the inside too.  Being healthy is not only one dimensional but it encompasses the entire body.  When we feel good about ourselves mentally it will show physically too.  

The first step to this process is to give some a compliment today.

The second step is to give yourself a compliment today.

The third step is to repeat steps one and two every for at least a week.

Stay fit and stay strong.
