5 Quick Tips To Get You Fit And Healthy...

It's that time of year again. You know... the time of year when almost everyone pigs out at holiday gatherings and hides their extra weight under layers of clothing.

As a fitness professional, it amazes me how most people think that holidays and colder weather are good excuses to let themselves go and gain a bunch of weight (mostly body fat). Well, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that way.

In fact, wouldn't it be great if you actually broke this unhealthy cycle and did the total opposite and got through the holiday season without gaining a pound. Better yet... what if you were to make it through the holidays and the winter months and actually be in the best shape of your life.

With a little planning and these 5 quick tips, you will not only be beach body ready by summer, you will also be the envy of all your family and friends.

1. Get Self Motivated - This is very important! Everyone needs to first become self motivated before they can accomplish any quest. In other words, no matter how much outside support you may have, if you don't believe in yourself, every feat will be a unwanted task instead of a driven goal. Only you can make it happen.

2. Set Goals And Write Them Down - It has been proven over and over again that people who write down their goals (long term and short term) and read them every day are 80% more likely to achieve their goals. Enough said...

3. A Great Fitness Program Will Never Make Up For A Poor Diet - That's so true! I don't care if you work out 2 hours a day/7 days a week. If your diet is filled with high sugar, saturated fat filled foods then you will never reach your fitness goals. It's as simple as that.

4. Set A Specific Time To Work Out Every Day - I know how busy everyone is. Between work, family, and all the other hectic things that life throws at us, who can find time to work out everyday. You... that's who. Just make sure to designate a specific time to workout so that it becomes an everyday priority instead of something that will get done " if I have time". Regular exercise has hundreds of life long benefits.

5. Do Full Body High Intensity Circuits - If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, then you know how much this type of training can benefit you. It will not only save you hundreds of hours in the gym, it will also burn fat and grow lean muscle at the same time. More importantly, this type of training has been proven to keep your metabolic rate elevated for up to 38 hours after you workout. What exactly does this mean? It means your body will continue to burn fat for up to 38 hours after working out. Wow! Good Stuff!

Follow these five simple steps and you too can be fit and healthy all year long.

As Always,

Stay Motivated, Stay Fit
