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.
