"Does Fitness Make Financial Sense?"

Of course it does!! The heather you are the longer you'll have to enjoy all the benefits of your hard work! Why buy a house with Terry only to let health issues limit your ultimate happiness?  Here are very 4 simple tips to get you back on the bandwagon a few weeks your new year's resolution to get fit. It's my profession to personalize these tips to your specific goals, but it all starts with your motivation to succeed - here's how to start:

1. GET MOVING!

Exercise is the easiest (for most people) to get started with on their journey for a healthy lifestyle. There are two forms of exercise – Anaerobic training (Lifting weights, Weight machines, etc…) and Aerobic training (Running, Bike riding, etc...). The amount of each of these to do is debatable. But know this, to physically change yourself you will need to put demands on your body that require it to adapt to the demand. That reaction accompanied with good nutrition will result in physical change.

2. THE “N” WORD – “NUTRITION”

This is the most important part of a healthy lifestyle. But it is the hardest to master. The best way to start changing your diet is with small manageable steps. Don’t go head on into a calorie counting low carb nutrition program if you have never participated in a program. This is setting yourself up for failure. Nutrition tends to be an “I CANT” mind set. “I can’t eat this, I can’t eat that….” Because of this you will need to make small changes and build upon them daily/weekly/monthly. By taking a long term approach you are more likely to stick with it for a lifetime versus just a short period of time.

3. DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP!

You will fail! I know I know be positive right? But it is true, there are not many people out there that quit cold turkey and become 5 day a week exercisers and 100% compliant on their nutrition. So know this ahead a time and give yourself some built in rewards. Not all you can eat buffets or gallons of ice cream. Be reasonable, go out to eat one day on the weekend or have a desert one night. Notice I said “one” in both examples. NOT all weekend or every other night.

4. EDUCATE YOURSELF NOW...

I highly recommend you read Precision Nutrition Strategies for Success. I give this 48 pages document of nutrition awesomeness to all my clients - the practical nutrition knowledge it contains for busy professional will take your results to the highest level.
