Get Up & Get After It!

I’ve been seeing many of posts via Facebook about how some of my friends are going to change, and start working out. Except i see them in pictures at the bar, or taking pictures of all types of junk food they’re eating. Im going to be the first to say, “You are full of shit.” The only way you’re going to change your body, and circumstance in your life is by taking action.

One good or bad thing that can make or break your goal is habit. The toughest part about getting back into shape is the first few weeks of getting used to a solid routine. You should be prepping your food, having a set time you go to the gym, and following a good workout plan. Once you take those first few weeks to fall into a great ritual. You will want to go everyday! Its already halfway though january, and i know some of you have’t did a single workout. Lets get after our goal, and get on to the next one.

Eyes on the prize.

Its been awhile since i’ve made a post. Since i’ve gotten out of the army, I’ve ran into numerous obstacles its not even funny. The important thing is i keep pushing until I’m satisfied. Im definitely on track. Just recently got in touch with a good coach for this year. I am so pumped about it. I took a break for about a month when i left to Tennessee, but i am back into the groove of things. It was good to give my body a break. Big things ahead for me. Just have to be patient.

Top 10 ways to kick start your gym life

Now that the holidays are done, and over with. Its time to evaluate where we are physically, and figure out how much we would like to improve. Here’s 10 tips to improve your gym life this year.

 
1.) Determine your goal. “What do you want your body to look like? What are you training for, a marathon, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding competition, or even just to look good?”
2.) Design a workout plan to cater toward your goal.  If you don’t know where to start, apply yourself, go online to fitness websites such as bodybuilding.com, or hire a personal trainer.
3.) Find a workout partner that has similar goals as you.
4.) Make a playlist of music that will motivate you/pump you up.
5.) Go online and find the proper supplements to cater toward your goals if you think it’s necessary.
6.) Eat clean, and train dirty. Discipline, and great habit will pay off toward your goals. 
7.) Stay consistent. Success will not happen overnight ladies, and gents. It will take sweat, hard work, and consistency. So, be patient, and stay strong!
8.) Don’t be scared. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and everyone won’t lift the same amount of heavy weights, or run 10 miles straight.
9.) Grab some gym gear. “When you look great, and feel great, you will be great.” 
10.) Shower yourself in motivation everyday. YOU are in the gym for YOUR own reasons. When you have the feeling of motivation, do something with it. Think of the gym as your own stress free sanctuary. When you step in, you leave all stress, and negative thoughts at the front door, and when you walk out you feel excellent. 
 
These are a few tips to help jump start your gym life. Follow them, and I’m 100% sure it will help. If you have any questions, email me.
