Plugs for Two Websites

Hey every one hows it going? So I found two awesome websites that I thought I would try and promote a little bit on my blog. The first one is called Spark People. This website is a full access pass to learning how to "diet" and eat right. This site is 100% free and has numerous benefits. It tracks calories, plans meals for an entire week and even creates grocery lists for you. It offers tips, recipes, nutrition facts and much more. It is awesome for any one at any level of fitness.
The second website is called Shape Fit. This website is dedicated to giving and creating workout routines that are very specific to each individual and their goals. Weight loss, core, muscular strengthening and toning and much more are offered here. It is very user friendly and easy to understand. Check out these websites. They are on the top of this blog on the left hand side of the home page. Good luck today and never stop trying to reach and surpass any goals you have set in your life.

Change Up your Routine

Hey everyone today is a perfect day to learn something new about fitness, even though it may seem like a simple thing the results you will see and feel are amazing. Are you ready for the "secret"? Here it is. People suffer from the habits they have, and our habits in the gym are among the top habits we need to change in order to see results. So, CHANGE IT UP! Here is a list of things that can help you figure out what to do to make even the smallest changes first:


  • Try New Training Tools= get out of your comfort zone and try new movements or lifting techniques

  • Try one new machine or lift= do not get stuck using the same machines or lifts, change it up

  • Start doing a new Cardio workout= get off the treadmill and try the bikes or a track or water aerobics

  • Find new ways to workout from home= we don't always make it to the gym right, that is still no excuse for not getting in a workout every day

  • Try New Healthy Recipes= use spices, lean meats instead or red meats or even try new things that you haven't tried yet

Today is a perfect Day to CHANGE IT UP. Good luck today and when you are at the gym make your precious time count, do not waste it.

Training Core

Everyone looks in the mirror right? I would venture to say that we all look directly to one place in particular, the stomach. We all spend countless hours in the gym, running our legs to death and doing crunches till we can't sit up. Here is the secret people, toning our core is a science. A lot of America spends 35-40 hours a week sitting at a desk and as a result a lot of Americans suffer from bad posture and low back problems. I found a very impressive article on this very topic. They make the argument that to obtain a stronger core we must strengthen our backs first. Click on this link to read the full article:

Believing in Yourself

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning." -Mahatma Gandhi

If I could say anything to add to this quote it would simply be that we are in charge of every decision we make and all decisions shape us for the better or the worse. Start TODAY!!!!!
