Maintaining Momentum

Now that we've gotten over the early morning blues the next question is,how do we maintain that momentum? Sorry, but there is no simple formula or answer to this question, but you do have to ask yourself- why did you start working out in the first place. For some, it was too loose a few extra pounds, others wanted to get toned and for most they just wanted to develop a healthier lifestyle. Well whatever your motivation is/was it should be the same one that keeps that momentum going.
 
Here's some tips to keep you focused- 

Feel the burn out- not burn out:
When you feel that you are getting burned out on your workout routine, don't stop- switch up and change the type you are doing. Your body shouldn't suffer because your mind is bored-balance is the key. Your MIND-BODY-N-SOUL has to be in-sync.
 
Ready switch:
Variety in exercises keep the mind stimulated. I use an alternating workout session with my clients. Concentrated weight training, Core training, and a body motion regiment. It isolates the different muscle groups but gives your mind a new journey each time. Plus you burn more calories when you focus and not cheat.
 
No excuses:
Every now and then you just can't make it to the gym to do that solid workout that you have built for yourself. Not a problem- there are plenty of household items that can keep you going until you hit the gym again.

       
1. Arm curls, Shoulder press, Chest press, and Back:
Use full 24oz.or 36oz. juice or water bottle with handles (or lighter)

2. Abdominal Crunches and Oblique Twist: Broom or mop handles
can be used to work this section

3. Gluts and Calves: Step stool or folding chairs can be
used to work gluts

4. Legs: Lunges and Squats with 48 oz. laundry detergent bottle

 
Remember your body deserves the best your mind can give so strengthen your mind-muscle (the brain) and keep that workout going...

Early Morning Blues

       All right ladies and gentle it's time to get up and get those bodies moving. If you are like me, the morning comes to early especially after a long evening of homework, cooking and getting prepared for the next day. But trust me your body will appreciate the attention you give once you get up and get those feet moving. I have a simple philsophy- my body is not my own so I must take care of it for the purpose in which it was designed...

 Here's some quick tips to help move you in the right direction:

• SNOOZING:
•  Forget about the snooze button on your alarm clock- it doesn't exist.
•  MIND-MATTER: 
• If you let your mind convene you that it doesn't matter then the battle is over. It has to matter because your life and love ones depend on your good health.
• DEFEAT SLEEP:
• Yes, getting plenty of rest is important but without exercise all the rest in the world will not help to promote a healthy heart or strong bone structure.
• WHY SO EARLY:
• Working out early in the morning stimulates an extra level of energy that helps to sustain you through the day. Your blood is flowing, calories are burning and weigh loss is being produced.

 So let's get up and get over the early morning blues...Your life depends it
