What fitness tips really work?



"Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going." J. Ryuh

Step #1- Identify your goal. Some goal suggestions are:
1- Loose weight
2- Lower Blood Pressure
3- Deal with stress better
4- Tone up
5- Fit in your favorite pair of jeans
6- Feel fit and healthy
7- Feel more energy
8- Increase flexibility
9- Better self esteem
10-Help relieve joint pain

When picking your goal to begin your fitness journey it’s important to point out
that your goal needs to be more powerful and meaningful to you so you are able
to change your current habits.

Step #2- Write it down. You are 2x more likely to reach your goal when you take
the time to write down what you eat and what exercises you have completed.

A study done by Kaiser’s Center for Health Research involving 1,700 participants
showed that in a 6 month period of time almost 70% of all participants lost weight.
Those who did not write it down lost around 9 pounds. Those who did write it
down lost up to 20 pounds!

Some people find it hard to keep track of their daily activity. Choose what works
best for you, there are apps, journals, body bugs, and many other alternatives to
help you achieve your goals.
