Top 5 Ways to Stay On Track with Your Fitness and win your own Olympic medal...
Watching the Olympics or any televised sport has me wanting to spend more time getting fitter and healthier. When I watch a tennis game I feel like playing tennis, when I watch the swimming team I wish I could swim like them, when the sprinters run like cheetahs I wish I looked like them...do you sometimes have the same thoughts?We don't need to be Olympians to win our own gold medals but we do need to stop wishing and start doing something towards improving ourselves. Yes it's great watching some of the races but how fantastic would you feel if you could run and win your own race (whatever that means for you). For me it means pushing myself a little harder on the spin bike and going to my class even when I know how much work I have on that day. What does it mean for you? Here are some secrets on how to get on track or stay on track.
- Let's have fun!
People get stuck in the rut of the same old routine. No wonder they dread exercise. The number one factor to sticking to fitness is the amount of fun you have while exercising. Get creative. Get in touch with physical activity that you love or have been successful with in the past. You must have some level of enjoyment when working out, otherwise you're doomed to drop off the program, or at the very least you'll dread each and every session.
- Switch on Autopilot!
We do so many things each day without having to think about them. Did you think about how you were going to brush your teeth or drive to work this morning? Of course not, you just do these tasks naturally since you've done them repetitively for so long. Your fitness routine can easily go onto auto pilot as it just becomes part of your lifestyle. If you dread going to the gym and struggle to figure out what exercises are most effective, join a group program, like a fitness boot camp that does that for you. You show up, follow what the instructor has planned for you and your workout is over without much thought on your part.
- Forget the scale!
The scale is not a good measurement of progress. Focus on how you feel - more energized, less stressed, more vibrant and alive, improved mental and emotional outlook. These will be positively impacted during your first week of exercise. Focus on your clothing fitting better. Consistent exercise, combined with sound nutrition habits, will lead to your ideal body shape.
- Set a Powerful Goal!
Being in my 40's makes staying in shape more challenging so the idea of toning up with weights for me is compelling. What compels you? Find it and your consistency with exercise goes up tremendously!
- Seek Help!
Everyone needs a little pick me up now and again. And sometimes a friend or spouse isn't the best person to provide the support & expertise you need. Join a group of people who share similar goals, such as a spinning class. Hiring a professional fitness trainer or joining a group that you're accountable to goes a long way to support your exercise goals, and for many it's a lot more fun exercising with other committed people.
Regular exercise offers unlimited benefits - improved sleep and relaxation, reduction in stress, elevated mood, better performance during work and play, enhanced self confidence, increased energy and enthusiasm for life. All it takes is getting started and setting it up correctly, then as you have fun with exercise, a positive momentum takes over.
Let's get started today and you too can win your own Olympic medal!
