Setting yourself up for success in 2014
Are you looking to improve your health, get more energy, or maintain weight loss? Do you want to look better and feel better than you ever have before?
Here are 4 easy steps to follow that can make this “New Year” your healthiest year ever!
1. Find a realistic plan and stick with.
2. Eat breakfast. This is weight loss secret #1 and you need to take it serious.
3. Increase movement – 100/100
4. Get help and support, you are not alone on this journey.
Find a plan you can follow: When finding a plan that will work for you, be realistic. If you tend to jump in with both feet only to find out you’ve done too much too fast, then it is time to try a different approach.
Be realistic - ask yourself, how much time do I have to work out? How many days a week can I make it to the gym? Write your answers out. Putting it down on paper makes your commitment that much more real. Keep it where you can see it!
Try going to bed 30 minutes early so you can wake up 30 minutes early to work out. Do this 5 days a week and you will have results. Do cardio one day and strength training the next. Every day you are in the gym, at home or on your lunch break doing some form of activity, you will have results. For most people this works great because it becomes a healthy habit and gets you quickly on track.
Or try a 3 day per week routine (it may work into your schedule better). This would be an hour every other day – use half the hour for cardio and the other half for weights. You cannot miss… either plan is a small commitment for the overall BIG picture!
Eat Breakfast: When trying to loose body fat, you cannot skip breakfast! Try starting your day with a Meal Replacement Shake. It is an easy to do, affordable weight-loss method that will help rev up your metabolism. It will also help build lean muscle and lean muscle helps melt away unwanted fat.
*According to Dr. Oz “Meal-replacement shakes are an effective, easy way to drop pounds. They teach you how to eat less and lose weight quickly and permanently”
Increase movement: If you are not making it to the gym then make the gym come to you. 100/100 is an easy way to increase movement and supports weight loss. Pick two exercises you can perform at home or in your office break room. Example - squats and pushups. All you need to do is 100 of each throughout the day. You can start out with 10 or 20 at a time until you reach 100. There really is nothing else to it; 100/100! (You can do pushups from the edge of a table and then move to the ground to increase difficulty and when squats become too easy, turn them into jump squats).
Get help and support: This can make or break your success. If you want to get the best results and have lasting ones, you need a coach or a support group that can help you reach your goals. If you belong to a health club ask if there are any first time training specials. Get professional help with a fitness program designed specifically for you. You can do the research on your own; however, this is not the best use of your time.
If you are not a member of a health club, find out if there is a trainer in your area that will travel to your home. This can be a little more affordable because you are not paying for club cost and over head. If you choose to work out at home, you need to be self motivated. Try finding a work out partner, someone that will help motivate and hold you accountable!
