What's on Your List? |
|
We
all have a list of our favorite things. It may not be written down anywhere,
but you know the things that make you happy.
The list holds your favorite foods, music, TV shows, movies and even people in
your life that you can't get enough of. This is the stuff that you really
enjoy. It's the stuff that makes your life worth living.
Somewhere on the list is your health and appearance. You know that looking and
feeling great make a good life even better.
The interesting thing about your list is that, without fail, you'll always make
time for it.
-
When your TV show airs, you watch it or record it
to watch later.
-
When your favorite actor stars in a new movie,
you make sure to go see it.
-
When you're hungry, you turn to your favorite
foods.
-
When the weekend rolls around, you do everything
you can to spend time with the special people in your life.
Yet
when it comes to exercise you automatically say, "I don't have time."
Time for TV, but no time for exercise... We live in an age where life is full.
You don't have "extra" time anymore.
You no longer have time. You have to make time.
-
You make time for your TV show.
-
You make time for your hobby.
-
You make time for your friends.
Well
it's time to drop the charade of "I don't have time to exercise" and call it
what it really is:
An excuse.
You know how to make time for your favorite things. You know you want good
health. You know you want to look great. You know you want more energy.
Exercise delivers all those benefits - and more.
I believe that exercise belongs at the top of your list of favorite things.
Make It A Favorite: How do you turn something that you've dreaded into
something that you enjoy?
-
Block the Negative:
Your thoughts play a big part in determining your favorite things. Block out
any negative thoughts you may have about exercise. Focus your energy on
creating a positive attitude that will get you excited about hitting the
gym, rather than dreading it.
-
Focus on the Benefits:
With exercise you have so much to gain and nothing to lose (except that
extra weight!). Exercise makes you stronger, sexier, happier, and gives you
more energy. Pick the benefit that motivates you the most and focus on it.
-
Get Guidance:
The easiest way to put exercise on your list of favorite things is to
experience it at its best. Get onboard with one of my personal training
programs and I'll show you the most effective and enjoyable techniques that
will get you into the best shape of your life!
Take Time to Make Time!

Smaller is Better |
|
Here's a quick and easy way to help control portion sizes and
lose weight. For dinner tonight use a small plate instead of a full sized dinner
plate. It sounds simple, but you will actually eat less off a small plate than
you would a full sized plate. This is a great way to encourage smaller portion
sizes without feeling like you are being deprived. |

Ed FerrellAs owner, manager and head trainer of Fitness Together - Temecula,
I have found that there is nothing more rewarding than helping my clients reach
their personal fitness goals. It goes far beyond helping them to lose weight and
feel better about themselves. I have seen lives completely changed when clients
learn and apply proper nutrition and exercise to their lifestyles.
No one I know has ever regretted losing weight and getting in better shape. The
improvements and enjoyment that clients experience in their daily lives as a
result of their personal training is why I do this. I may work with each client
less than an hour a day, but I known they are enjoying the benefits of their
improved energy, health and fitness all day long -- and that's what its all
about. Without your health, nothing else matters.

It is well documented that for every minute
that you exercise, you add one minute to your life. This enables you at 85
years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per
month.
Health Tip
The most effective diet is not a diet at all, but a gradual change in eating
and physical activity habits that you can continue for the rest of your life. An
efficient way to lose weight is to reduce the number of calories and improve the
quality of the foods you choose. It is best to lose weight slowly but steadily,
so you can maintain your ideal weight after you have reached your goal.
