Exercise Optional?

It came up in conversation between myself and another fitness coach.... Why do you think people think it's a OPTION to exercise?

 Man used to work the land and not need to do anything extra to tone up or keep fit enough to keep up with daily life demands but as the desk jobs came along, society pushed for easier ways of doing things and slacked off on the manual labor that was probably doing us good.

 You will never be able to convince everyone that exercise is actually living day to day - it's like brushing teeth. You don't have to brush your teeth. If you choose not to, you'll experience severe consequences down the road but it's completely your choice....yet we have been led to believe that brushing our teeth is a daily task and exercise is optional. If one chooses not to exercise, You can bet there will be consequences down the road, as well.

 It's frustrating as a coach. Yes, I can impact one person's life, for sure, but I also can’t expect to believe that all of a sudden people are going just exercise & love it. I've been working out for years and I still don't love it most of the time! I would choose not to some days because I want to do something else more.... 

 I do because I know it's part of living - I like how I feel because when I feel I'm OUT of shape I don’t even want to go out! I don't even want to get dressed because my closet stresses me out with what I can't fit into so I know that I will feel better if I exercise and eat right..... Yep, it hurts during the process of working out some days & no, you don't see results right away and it IS frustrating when you just want to work out one day and then tomorrow be your goal weight .......usually it takes at LEAST 2 weeks to see a noticeable improvement.

Even barefoot, I got a great workout and it felt so good to stretch!



I bring this up because yesterday I started my 3rd week of 21Day Fix which means I completed my 1st 2 weeks.....and I've noticed an improvement and had to use a belt in my pants today. How many days did I not want to get up and workout for a lousy 30 minutes? More than I care to say - but being accountable to you guys has made a HUGE difference. Being accountable to my partner has made a HUGE difference -

Here's your reminder - December 1st we start all over again and this round I'll focus on more of the meals than I have during this 3 weeks. There is a food container system that is, really, quite brilliant. Contact me if you'd like more information but you can order the basic 21Day Fix here :

How to Create a Beachbody Hybrid Workout Schedule

Image
It’s Day 28 of  INSANITY MAX:30 , and you couldn’t be more excited. You feel amazing, you look amazing, and you’re starting to think “What’s next?” Should you do another round with Super Trainer  Shaun T , or move on to a different program, like  CORE DE FORCE ? Or maybe you don’t have to choose; maybe you can combine them to create the ultimate hard-hitting total-body  HIIT  program! I have a love/hate relationship with hybrid workouts. Why? Wouldn't it ultimately be the best of both worlds? First, there are a lot of people making  Beachbody hybrids  that have no clue what they are doing.  They are just piecing random programs together and hoping for the best.  Don't get me wrong I know it's fun to do.  If you don't do it properly though you may become frustrated and wonder why you aren't reaching any of the goals you set for yourself.  One person's hybrid will not work for everyone and most likely isn't even working for them.  It needs to be

Night Time Eating Derailment - Help!

Image
Late night snacking is a deeply ingrained pattern that almost all of us have been stuck in at one point or another. Even if your goal isn’t to lose weight, eating immediately before bed is not optimal for your health. Right before bed, it’s best to only drink water or tea and allow your organs a rest period. This creates spaciousness for cellular repair, organ detox, and inflammation repair. However, when life gets real, late-night snacking isn’t always something you can avoid. You might be up late with the kids, be a shift-worker or be dealing with life circumstances that are keeping you up. Here are a few snack options you can reach to that won’t derail your weight loss efforts. All of these options are in line with the  Clean Eating  philosophy. 1. Cucumber slices with lemon juice + salt or hummus Cucumber slices are refreshing, light on the system and full of water. Sometimes just a light snack of fresh sliced veggies with a bit of hummus will be just the right amoun

4 Unique Ways to Get Your 10,000 Steps Into Your Day

Part of reaching your health and fitness goals is literally putting one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. Perhaps you are one of those people who are active outside of the office?  Be aware that sitting for extended periods of time isn’t great even for people who exercise on the regular.  That’s partially because long bouts of inactivity inhibit the flow of blood and nutrients to your muscles between exercise sessions, explains Jason Raynor, C.S.C.S., a Nike Master Trainer with the Spa at JW Marriott Chicago. Performing regular activity like walking throughout the day, however, can help your   muscles recover   and reduce exercise-induced inflammation, Raynor says. . Why Take 10,000 Steps a Day? “There’s nothing magical about the 10,000 number,” Dr. Campbell says. “The number came from pedometers sold in Japan in the 1960s. They were marketed under the name ‘manpo-kei,’ which translates to ‘10,000 steps meter.’ The 10,000 step count then just kind of cau
