Regular physical activity improves your mood, enhances the quality of your life, helps you burn off stress -- and, most important, it strengthens your body while it burns calories.
Physical activity helps your body work the way it is supposed to. Even simple walking is a good, weight-bearing exercise that helps keep muscles -- including your heart -- strong.
And what better time than Spring to get your mind and body “tuned up” and kick your fitness up a notch?
Longer days and warmer weather provide the perfect motivation. And you don't have to start training for a marathon, either; as long as you're getting more activity than you used to, you're on the right track.
Let springtime's rejuvenation inspire you to break down those barriers and finally make fitness a way of life
Long term consistency trumps short term intensity.
A New Week.....A New Beginning!
When you're always in "go mode," it can be easy to slip into old habits that may not be conducive to helping yourself, your life or your business.
But the easiest way to reinforce better behavior is to adopt new or daily habits to replace the not-so-great ones...
5 Daily Habits to Swear By....
1. Hydrate.
Drink half of your body weight in ounces of water every day to flush toxins from your body and ensure you don’t mistake thirst for hunger.
2. Wake up earlier.
Give yourself an extra hour before anyone else—kids, spouse, etc.—is awake .. This allows you to focus solely on yourself and your goals. This can be spent journaling, working out or simply as quiet alone time.
3. Give up one category of food for 30 days.
We fail to achieve our goals because we try to take on too much at the same time. Nutritional goals are no different. Instead of cutting out every single type of bad food, try just eliminating fast food or ice cream for 30 days. Once you tackle one type of junk food, move on to the next. Hitting each monthly milestone will serve as motivation for the next one.
4. Move your body every day.
Even walking for 20 minutes every day can boost your metabolism and promote the release of positive brain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine.
5. Practice active gratitude.
Start writing 3, 5 or 10 things you’re grateful for every day, such as “I’m grateful that my dog let me sleep through the night” or “I’m grateful that this coffee is doing its job.”
Start with these Habits and I’m
sure in no time....You Will Be Adding More!
Dreams can come true!
You just have to be willing to work hard and be consistent in your actions!
You are never too old....or too young to Live Your Dream!
