Memorial Day Fitness Tips

Memorial Day Fitness tips
It’s going to be a beautiful weekend and I know most of us will be celebrating with friends and family.

So let’s have a quick review of keeping our fitness progress in tact this weekend.

1) Get in a workout in the morning before a party or BBQ gathering to get your metabolism firing. – see below for a quick workout.

2) Don’t skip meals early in preparation of saving calories for later – this usually leads to overeating and storing ALL the calories you eat later.

3) Be aware of how much you are eating – grazing adds calories fast. One plate at meal time and be done.

4) Enjoy your meals – choose the foods you really want to eat, enjoy them, and skip the ones that you are eating just because they are there.

Be well – remember the men and women of our armed services.

A Common Healthy Weight Loss Complaint

If it were easy everyone would be walking around with a lean, sexy body.

But hey, it's not in this world we live in today. Believe me, I understand all too well that there's temptation around every corner.

Everywhere you look there's fast food, junk food, chocolate, candy, ice cream, pizza...

And I know it tastes good. And I know when you get stressed your body craves it even more.

That's why you have to have a plan. You have to know what you're going to do to avoid those temptations. You have to plan your meals in advance.

Again, if this were easy everyone would be thin and in great shape. But they're not.

The first thing to do is come to grips with reality. To accept the fact that getting the body of your dreams is going to take effort.

The second is to understand that it's not going to be miserable. In fact, it's going to be a LOT of fun.

When you exercise you feel awesome. Sure, the weight comes off. But you also feel stronger. You're more alive. You can meet the demands of your day SO much easier.

How is that miserable?

And when you start eating healthier the same thing happens. It really, really is true: you are what you eat.

Now, take a second and really think about that.

What you are putting in your mouth is what your body is using to regenerate itself with all the time.

If you're eating crappy food...

Get the picture ;-)

But don't worry, I've got a really cool and inexpensive resource for you to help you out BIG TIME with your healthy eating.

My partners over at Prograde Nutrition have created this 197 Healthy and Delicious Fat Burning Recipes ebook.
