Get Heidi Fit Tips!

I've had a lot of people ask about tips that will help them get on the right track towards their fitness goals. It's Spring time, and before you know it will be SUMMER! Get started working towards that bikini body and don't look back! Ready, Set...Get Heidi Fit!

1. Create a Training Plan/Journal-
Plan your workouts ahead of time and also write down what you plan to do BEFORE you go to the gym. Note your weight/reps/sets, so you know how to progress yourself

2. Don't just set "weight-loss" goals, set GOALS!
Don't just say "I want to lost x number of pounds." Make goals that will create a routine/active lifestyle. If you are starting from scratch, make a goal to take the stairs every time you go to your office or work out at least x amount of times a week. If you already are active, train for a triathlon or enter a 10k Charity race, etc.. Surrounding yourself with an active group of people will help you get and stay motivated.

3. Get a measuring tape; take your measurements and weight yourself.
Write those measurements down and keep track of your progress. This will help you stay accountable.

4. Resolve to cut out refined sugar for a week.
Sweet cravings will reduce quicker than you think. Do this consistently and you will find yourself craving sweets less and dissolve a unwanted habit.

5. Switch from processed to FRESH! Period.

6. Change your workouts once a month, including cardio

7. Make an appointment
Be accountable to a trainer or a class. Knowing someone/others are counting on you will give you that extra motivation to help keep you on track.

8. Be patient
Don't expect miracles to happen overnight. Focus on being healthy and creating a healthy lifestyle. Most people don't see results for 6-8 weeks.

9. Make your workouts FUN!
Incorporate things you always wanted to try or like to do. Boxing, dancing, sports, etc.. If you love it, you won't realize you are working out.

10. Put together a workout playlist.
Great music will keep you motivated and inspire you.

11. Remove all junk food and temptations from you home/workplace.If you don't see it, you won't eat it.

12. Eat on smaller-sized plates.
The larger the plate, the more you will feel the need to fill it up with more food. Which leads to eating more than you really want/need too.

13. Don't eat in front of the t.v.
T.V. is distracting and you will end up eating more than you want, only because you aren't thinking about your portions.

If you need any more help or advice, feel free to email me at heidiinthavong@getheidifit.com or come to one of the classes. Class information is on the website http://www.getheidifit.com/

Happy New Year! Bring on the New Year Resolutions!!!

It's 2010. New Year. New Goals.

New Year's Resolutions.

According to research, 40 to 45% of American adult make one or more resolutions each year.
Some of the top resolutions are ones about weight loss, exercise, and kicking butts. Cigarette butts that is. Also popular are resolutions dealing with better money management and reducing debt.

Here is a fun look at the statistics of how many of us really keep these resolutions.

*past the first week: 75%

*past 2 weeks: 71%

*after one month: 64%

*after 6 months: 46%

While many of us struggle to keep these resolutions, research DOES show that making these resolutions are USEFUL People who make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don't.

Whatever your goals are, remember that the first step is making a plan and STICKING to IT!

Here are some tips to help your resolutions last longer and most of all become a lifestyle change and not just a once a year "wish."

1. Write Your Resolutions Down
The simplest and fastest way to increase your chances of being successful in keeping your resolutions is to write them down. Doing this is essential because it makes your resolution manifest and real, as opposed to just an idea floating around in your head. Make your resolution concrete and as well-defined as possible, as this will help you to focus on it easier. This beneficial action takes very little time to do but is often skipped by most people because they do not think it is necessary.

2. Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan
To get to where you want to be, you have to figure out how you are going to get there. Research different methods and strategies pertaining to your resolution until you have a good idea of how you want to proceed.

3. Keep Track Of Your Progress
As you work toward accomplishing your resolution, it is important to track your progress regularly. By doing so you will be able to see how far along you are and what adjustments you might need to make. The primary objective is to find the method that works best for you personally, not what may have worked best for someone else.

4. Avoid All Forms Of Negativity As Much As Possible
An excellent tip for your whole life, but even more so when trying to better yourself. Avoid as many sources of negativity as you can, whether it is other people telling you why you shouldn't bother with your "silly" resolutions or depressing music, movies, and television programs. Any entertainment or other perceived benefit you may receive from these people or things is greatly outweighed by the deleterious effects the negativity can have on your motivation and resolve.

5. Surround Yourself With Positive Influences
Even more valuable than avoiding negative influences, surrounding yourself with positivity can have an immense impact on your success. People that are supportive of you trying to better yourself are priceless, try to spend the bulk of your social time with them. Enjoying music, movies, and other forms of media that inspire you is helpful for when you feel your motivation or determination start to wane.

By following these tips you should experience a much greater degree of success in keeping your new year's resolutions, as well as any other goals you may set in the future. May you have a very happy and prosperous 2010 and beyond!

A New Year...A New YOU! Get Heidi Fit for 2010!

Give the gift of HEALTH and FITNESS this HOLIDAY Season!

Get Heidi Fit in 2010!

Skip the holiday pajamas, nix that scented candle set and—unless you want to bestow the gift of binge eating—definitely say no to the gi-normous bucket of caramel corn. If you're looking for a unique gift this year, something that really shows how much you care about someone, think about giving the gift of FITNESS!

Here's a Get Heidi Fit guide to help you perfectly match the gift of good health to both the naughty or nice on your list.

For your queen-of-excuses friend who has a million reasons why she can't ever seem to make it to class, give her a Prepaid Boot Camp class card. You can buy a specific number of classes redeemable the Manhattan Condos, so now you've excuse-proofed her workout since it's already paid for. Buy a package of 5,10, or 20 classes, as they are only $5! One of my clients recently told me that she hoped that her boyfriend would buy her a pre-paid package of personal training sessions, that way it would FORCE her to go.

For that friend that HATES to work out alone, or needs that extra motivation... you can purchase a Get Heidi Fit Tandem Session. This allows YOU to workout AND YOUR FRIEND! It's the perfect get together, while having fun and burning the calories from the overly "social" holiday :) There's no limit to how many are in the class, plus it's more affordable for everyone! Packages start at $20 per person, but decrease as your group gets larger!

For your hardworking, mover-and-shaker friend/family member who can't make time for fitness, give Get Heidi Fit One on One personal-training sessions. Instead of trying to manipulate their schedule to show up for a specific class, they'll be able to exercise one-on-one with me AND schedule appointments that work around their busy day. This is the perfect gift for that person who says "They are TOO BUSY" or "They don't have TIME."

For your frequent-flyer boss who's always on the road, get him/her an Get Heidi Fit Online Personal Training Program. This program is perfect for the person who is always on the go, and needs a routine/workout to follow when they are traveling or away from their gym. This program includes the 21 day Challenge Online Program, customized written workouts, as well as nutritional guidance. Perfect for the person in your life who is always on the go!

For the college student or gift for someone who lives out of town, the 21 Day Challenge Online Program is the perfect gift of fitness! They can challenge themselves and get on the path towards their goals with the online DAILY 21 Day Challenge. With this program, they will receive a daily email with fitness, workout, and motivational challenges. The perfect gift to challenge a loved one, and get them to their goals! And it's only $21!

Giving the gift of fitness doesn't have feel like an insult or make the person on the receiving end feel awkward or that you think they need to lose a couple of pounds. Maybe they do? Maybe they just need that encouragement and support. For that special person in your life it will show that you care about their health, make their life easier, and you will have a huge hand in helping them towards their goals!! Plus, it's a great way to jump start the New Year and 2010 New Year's Resolution!

Cheers and Happy Holidays!
