Your Gym Owner Doesn't Want You To Read This...... EVER!

The road to health and fitness is not a toll road!


Let's face it, with the weather improving the gym ads are flying through the air like nobody's business! They would have you believe that you must come to their gym for the latest fitness class if you ever want to achieve any level of fitness!

DO NOT BUY IT!!! 

Moving towards health and fitness is not really the hard arduous job that everybody seem to think it is. When you really think about it, the hard part is often the start. Afterwards, everything else will be easier once you really get the hang of it. All it takes is discipline and commitment.

It can be more than just a little intimidating, but it does not have to be!

Below are some tips on how to get a head start on your road to health and fitness. Read each one and you’ll realize that it is actually easier to undertake than you might think. You just need to take the first few steps.

1. Start small If your favorite dish is something that your doctor asked you to avoid, there is no sense in skipping it altogether and then binging on the dish when you can’t take the abstinence anymore. Take moderate steps towards the goal. If you eat the dish everyday, try to cut down on your consumption and make it just three times a week. IF you have managed that, cut down further and make it once a week. That way, you are able to still enjoy the food and not increase your craving for it.

2. Plan modestly Set goals for yourself but that does not mean that you have to kill yourself to get it and when you don’t you’ll also kill yourself. Setting too high goals will often only lead to disappointment and frustration. When you plan, make sure that you can do it. How will you know? Be realistic. You know what you are capable of. It is better to set goals for yourself that you know you can do. Accomplishing them will give you a sense of achievement that will make you more confident and more willing to continue with your task.

3. Have a buddy Sharing the aches and pains as well as the joys of accomplishment with a buddy will help make the process easier and more bearable. In fact, people with a buddy when doing a self-improvement project are better able to stick with their plans than those who are doing the projects alone. This is because when you have a buddy with you, he or she acts as a support system that will help keep you on track and prevent you from giving up. Besides having a friend with you experiencing the same things makes the process more fun and more enjoyable.

4. Have discipline This is one of the few things that will make or break your plans to finally live a healthy lifestyle. In order to really stick to the plan, you need to develop self-discipline especially when it involves things that you really want to do or things that you are used to doing. Temptations along the way will be many and you need to be prepared to face all that!

5. Do it for yourself A lot of people start to live a life of health and fitness when they are trying to get a new guy to notice them or when they want to impress a lover. Although these are valid reasons, sometimes, they are not enough to see you through the entire process. It is better that you do it for yourself because you want a healthier and better you than do it for other people’s approval. After all, the only approval that you will ever need is your own.

You can look and feel great in just 12 minutes a day!

Working out is a much needed aspect of your functional fitness plan. However, if you lack the motivation to stick to your exercise routine, you're likely to falter and eventually stop working out completely. Exercise can be fun if you learn the right ways to do it. Follow these tips for greater success!
 
Play some tunes while you exercise. All cultures enjoy music. It speaks to us at a basic level, and the right music can be an excellent addition to your exercise regime. Music really gets you into the exercise and makes it feel more like a night at the club than a boring workout. Moving around in a fun way keeps your mind off the exercise you are doing and allows you to work out a little longer.
 
Buddying up while exercising is a great way to stay motivated and get in shape. The time will fly, and you will find yourself forgetting about your fitness problems if you have a friend to talk to while working out. You will enjoy working out more when you do it with a friend.
 
To keep your fitness routine stimulating, try a workout based on a video game. Video games can keep your mind off of the fatigue that can build up during exercise. You will not notice your body as much if you pay attention to the video game. Your energy will not drop as much, which will allow you to continue exercising for a longer period of time.
 
You should buy exercise clothes that make you feel athletic. Your mental commitment is reinforced by wearing the appropriate clothing. While workout clothes can be expensive, they can actually make your exercise routine less difficult and more fun.
 
If your workout routines are the same every single day, you will lose interest very quickly. You don't like to keep doing something that you don't enjoy. You should variate your workout to keep yourself interested and constantly learning. It's crucial that you find ways to stay interested in exercising or else it will be easy to drop out of your routine. Anything that breaks the routine for too long can make it really tough to get back in the groove!

I know this to be true! I keep my workout logs just so I can keep track of how many days I have not worked out. It motivates me to keep in the pattern. 
To keep things on schedule when I am traveling on off my schedule is to do some bodyweight training. It is really effective, under rated and goes with you any where! Check out this report for more information!
 
Give yourself something you truly love once you achieve a fitness milestone. This will keep your motivation high. The reward doesn't have to be extravagant, but it should be something that you want. Choose rewards that are healthy, easy to access and that won't set you back. Remember not to compromise yourself by eating a whole cheesecake as a reward! Opt for fat-free or low-fat food options if you are going to reward yourself with food. If you enjoy the reward, then you will be more motivated to keep working towards that next goal.
 
While you have to do chores everyday, working out should not be one of them. There are many ways to develop exercise routines that are engaging and fun. Use the information in this piece to turn your exercise routine into something fun, rather than something you dread.

OK, OK! I know I said 12 minutes a day, so here it is! I have told you before that I keep a kettlebell next to my desk so I can grab a few sets every now and then through out the day, right. So it was kind of random in the past, so I decided to basically follow a set routine and see what I get.

My theory is that by engaging in 2 sets of the Fat Burning routine as out lined in the Kettlebell Advantage, 5 times spread out over the course of my day with 15 sec of rest between each set, I will get in 2.5 minutes of the fat burning routine plus rest per set, times the 5 sets! Thats the plan any way, so we will keep you posted!

The Biggest Challenge in Working on Functional Fitness is the First Step!

Moving Towards Functional Fitness: Getting Your Kids Up and Off the Computer


When you were growing up your parents probably had to pry you away from the TV to get you outside into the fresh air. These days it is the computer and gaming consoles that are the issue. It is so easy for kids to spend hours playing games and chatting with friends online that exercise is the last thing on their minds.

So how do you get your kids away from the computer and outside? Well one way is to offer them something exciting and fun to do. This could be in the form of a family scavenger hunt or going down to the local swimming pool.

Quite often kids love to choose and not be told what to do. So why not give them a list of exercise related options or let them totally choose what they would like to do. Even going for a bike ride together to a local park for a picnic is good exercise. It gets everyone outside plus gives you some much needed family time together. (For more ideas on easing your family towards fitness, check out our free report on low impact exercises that are suitable for all ages and levels of fitness!)

Summer is great for all kinds of outdoor activities and older kids may enjoy learning a new hobby or skill. You could encourage them to learn how to make a kids picnic table or even build a new shelf for their bedroom. If you kids like to read why not let them set up their own private area in the garden? They could paint an old chair and use some blankets for a screen. One great privacy idea is to plant a screen of sunflowers or morning glory, any flower that grows quickly works well. This way they have their own private place to retreat to away from that computer!

If you have a dog then designate one child per day as the official dog walker, or enjoy a family dog walk together. Giving your children responsibility is a good way to get them thinking about different things instead of which friend to chat to next.

Planning in advance is another way to get your children outside. You could sit down on a Sunday afternoon and plan activities for the week. This could also include chores and tasks that need to be done. For example cleaning out old toys or helping sort items out for a garage sale. Why not let them sell their old toys and buy new clothes with the money?


While the computer can be a great learning tool and resource it can also be time consuming and addictive. It is important for you as a parent to balance your children’s online time with physical activity. So start planning some fun activities and get everyone outside in the fresh air this summer. 

There are some predictable stumbling blocks to family fitness. Check out our Fitness Mistakes course to learn how to avoid them!
