Courage for a Better Life

Once you develop your courage, you begin to better your life. Developing courage will help you take risks to a brighter future that you usually would not take. When you develop courage, you put fear behind you. Bravery is the process of admitting that you have fears, yet you are willing to determine a way to defeat those fears and not let these fears take charge of you. Yes, it is ok to embrace your fears at times.

Let this sink in!

Starting a New Exercise and Nutrition program

No matter what your reasons are for starting an exercise program you really need to pay attention to your nutritional needs. If you exercise like crazy but eat a high caloric diet you will not reap the full benefits from your workouts.

Train Your Body Not Your Ego

One of the biggest mistakes that is made in the fitness world is lifting to impress the ego, rather than lifting for health and wellness. What I am talking about is trying to lift weight that is completely too heavy, as well as, trying to perform cardio like they are 18 again.

Interval Training and Heart Rate Ranges

On a basic level interval training is the raising and lowering of the heart rate during a given workout. So, why do we want to raise and lower the heart rate? For years the answer has been because it helps you lose weight faster. Well that answer is correct, but how do you lose weight faster.

Behavior Changes That Help You Manage Weight Loss

Setting the right goals is an important first step. Most people trying to lose weight focus just on weight loss. However, you’ll be more successful if you focus on nutritional and exercise changes that lead to long-term weight change. Successful weight managers select no more than two or three goals at a time.

Effective goals are Specific and Attainable. “Exercise more” is a commendable ideal, but it’s not specific. “Walk five miles every day” is specific and measurable, but is it attainable if you’re just starting out? “Walk 30 minutes every day” is more attainable, but what happens if you’re held up at work or there’s a thunderstorm? “Walk 30 minutes, five days each week” is specific, attainable, and forgiving. In short, a great goal!
