It’s Spring Time
One of our favorite times of the year.
Time to clean house, clean closet, cleanse your body, and prepare for summer.
Does this include your workout? You bet it does!
This is a great time to evaluate your workout and fitness.
Are you still in the gym with the same old routine?
If so, you are missing out on an opportunity to make a change, turn up your calorie furnace and energize your attitude and results.
I recommend making changes to your workout monthly for the most effective results for fat loss, toning, and strength.
As you may know, changing your workout periodically keeps your body in tip top shape.
The same old workout will result in less calories burned, over use of the same muscles, and what we truly don’t like…boredom.
- Here are a few tips for “spring cleaning” your workout.
1) If you are doing the same cardio program, change.
Move to bike, treadmill, elliptical, jogging… something different. This will accelerate your calorie burn and work new muscles.
Try an interval workout of one minute at medium intensity (60%), and 30 seconds of high intensity (90% not able to have a conversation), repeat as able.
2) If you are on a weight training program, change to intervals.
Perform a set of squats, then upper body, then cardio, and repeat with minimal rest. This will increase your heart rate and improve your conditioning.
3) Review your diet.
By diet I mean the food you consume. Are you eating 4-5 smaller meals per day? Are you including protein at every meal? Are you including veggies at every meal? One small change can make a difference.
As always, call or email me for assistance to help you get dialed in for spring and summer.
Yours in good health

New Year Resolution Review
It’s about that time of year when most people are sliding or have already slid back on their new year resolutions.
Here is some information that will help you keep a resolution, or make a lasting change anytime you are ready.
Do you make a new year’s resolution every year? Is it the same every year?
Did you know that Fitness, weight loss, better health are at the top two or three for most people every year.
Why is that?
You know that your life is more fulfilling when you feel good about yourself, have more energy, are looking great, and all that equals feeling great.
Every year most people fall away from their resolution by February or March, and that’s a long time for most people.
So it’s not the New Year anymore but that doesn’t matter. Let’s regroup and get started today.
Ask yourself...How do I make this a life change rather than a flash in the pan, one day declaration?
Here is how to keep your fitness resolution…
1) Set attainable goals
Write them down and put an attainable timeframe on your goals. I.e., 5 pounds down by the end of the month, workout 3 times every week (put it on your calendar), eliminate sugar from my diet this week-log your diet, be prepared for a Half marathon in June etc.
Big pipe dream goals are a set up for failure so be reasonable and be sure you can get it done.
2) Keep yourself accountable
Most resolutions fail because they are a “one time” declaration on New Year’s Eve on a whim.
If you are serious, pick someone in your life that will help you stay accountable to your goal daily, monthly, and yearly.
Share the details and be sure they are ready to help you achieve. (You can always send it to me; I will keep you on track)
3) Commit your goal openly to yourself and your family
Share your goals for the year with your family and friends. The more you talk about it, the more you will feel a sense of commitment to your goals and the more people will ask you about how you are doing.
4) Stay strong
Lets not sugar coat this, changes to lifestyle are tough. It takes determination, focus and support from friends and family.
Focus on the people that support and encourage you. Keep in mind there will be the negative people but you can defeat them with your success.
It doesn’t matter what day the calendar says today. Now is always a good time to begin a lasting change.
I believe in you.
Please use me as your resource to help you achieve your goals for 2012.
