Welcome to Monday.  We are hitting that critical time in our ‘New Years Resolution’ group.  Starting around this time is when the gyms begin the “thinning of the heard”.  Where the new members start to loose the excitement of working out.  Well my friends…. DON’T GIVE UP! 

Was your resolution to drop 50lbs by the end of January?  Part of this lost of interest was maybe not creating the realistic goals.  Loosing 2-3lbs a week is a safe weight.  Any more then that can be hard on your body.  Remember that it takes time to loose what you have gained.  Remember you want to eat throughout the day.  Your 3 meals and 3 snacks.  Doing this, your body will become accustomed to regular fuel, if not; it thinks you’re starving and will hold onto everything for as long as possible.

Do you have a work-out partner?  Someone you can help encourage or at times help to encourage you?  That is one key element that everyone should have.  There are days when it is really hard to get motivated.  Well having that friend pushing you helps… a lot!  If you can’t quiet make it through your workout, try a group exercise class! You don’t have to think to hard, there are people to motivate you and some rockin music to motivate you.

So make smart goals, grab a work-out partner and maybe hit a group exercise class!

Happy Friday 01/21/2011
 
Well we made it another week.  The weather outside is quiet nice. Warmer then it has been, but slushy sidewalks and streets.  So remember that while you are out and about, be careful of others.  Make sure that your sidewalks are clean and clear.  If you have to do some heavy lifting (snow!), then make sure that you are warmed up!  I don't mean doing an aerobic class in your front yard, but take a few minutes to get the muscles you will be using ready.  A brisk walk, incorporate your arms like a speed walker.  Some reaching above your head and to the side.  Mimic what you will be doing, but without the shovel and snow.  Have a great weekend!
