A Quick Fix is Like Using Duct Tape for Fitness

Duct tape is awesome, but it's not meant to last.  In a pinch, the strong stuff can fix things temporarily but doesn't quite do the trick long term.  If you want something repaired right, it takes the right tools and materials, agreed? Quick fixes are the same as placing duct tape all over your fitness.  Speaking personally, I don't want a short-cut but a permanent solution to staying fit.

Unfortunately duct tape fitness is the most popular route for most people and as the sticky starts wearing off, it reveals what still remains ... an unhealthy body. The tape removal is painful and frustrating, but somehow the roll gets pulled back out and the ducting process begins again.  Temporary happiness but what a yo-yo ride.

It's time to toss out the tape and get real with what it takes to fix things right. Our healthy lifestyle tool box should contain things like dumbbells and jump ropes along with lean proteins, good carbs, and healthy fats.  Other great add-ins are motivational sayings, music, and awesome fitness clothes.  Probably one of the best tools pulled out of the box is a fitness accountability journal.

There are no short-cuts to where we want and need to go.  Duct tape has no business in our fitness and lifetime journey of  being healthy.  We should not be covered in a sticky mess revealing yuck on the inside when the tape is pulled back.  Our society needs to stop embracing the quick fix as any type of healthy remedy because that is crap.  What needs to happen is building a strong toolbox we can carry for a lifetime and daily use of the contents.  Be well and Stay Healthy!









             


Stop Over Complicating a Simple Process

The only hard thing about fitness is our negative thoughts.  We convince ourselves a disgusting diet is needed and endless hours of exercise are required. We go as far as considering it a burden and  a "cramp my lifestyle" occurrence. Instead of turning our nose up at the very thought of getting healthy, we need to stop over complicating a simple process.

Do you think people decades ago farming for a living to survive and working hard from sunrise to sunset worried about a diet?  They may have spent hours doing physical labor, but it was life and eating healthy.  Nothing complicated, just some sweat, and eating home cooking straight from the garden. Their bodies represented how they lived which unfortunately now is replaced by couch potato channel surfing and stuffing our faces with processed food.

Every nutrition source out there is going to tell you the same story about what is required.  No need to jump from diet to diet searching for some secret.  The problem is within our thoughts and unrealistic expectations.  You want to lose 20 pounds in a week and look like a fitness model.  Not going to happen.  We also want the process to be an easy quick fix requiring no workouts and drinking magic shakes while remaining on our sofas.  Wake up America!

Being fit and healthy is really simple.  Eat greens, grains, lean meats, healthy fats, drink lots of water and exercise at least 3 times per week.  Nothing hard about it and it's not a diet.  Why is this process considered boring, tasteless, and the end of fun in life?  Society and marketing have done a great job brainwashing people to believe a load of crap.



Eating a fresh organic crisp apple or perfectly grilled chicken breast are not what I call horrible.  Are you kidding me?  Remember eating celery stuffed with peanut butter?  Now that's a healthy treat full of flavor and fun.  Being fit will take tossing the food myths and getting real with your thoughts about health.  It will also require you to move your butt off the couch and into the gym.  Exercise is what you enjoy.  Love basketball?  Start playing.  Enjoy dancing?  Look into a Zumba class.  I like to use the kids jungle gyms at parks and play around on those doing pull-ups, step-ups, and triceps dips for example.  No more excuses or beliefs fitness is complicated and time to embrace the simplicity of the process. You can do it ... will you?  All in fitness love and Stay Healthy!

Temporary Resolutions Don't Count

It's that time of year again where resolutions are flying left and right and the excitement of a New Year and a "new you".  We all want self-improvement and that means different things to everyone.  Always at the top of the list is weight loss and gaining muscle definition.  Working in the fitness industry for 30 years, this is one of my busiest times and although happy for the job security, I am disenchanted about temporary resolutions.



I always see a "gung ho" attitude to start and sadly a large percentage of people return to old unhealthy habits after only a few weeks.  Beginning a fitness plan can feel easy, fun and fabulous but it's the continued lifestyle where many struggle. Typically, unrealistic goals have been set and the inability to adhere or be happy with strict healthy food changes and over-committed workouts wins and resolutions fly out the window.

The majority want to make changes but expect it to happen tomorrow not taking into consideration years of living unhealthy.  Patience and self-acceptance need to be part of the resolution decision and also going about it with realistic expectations.  If you have been overweight and without muscle definition most of your life, it is unreasonable to think a week of healthy eating and pumping iron is going to magically create results.  Frustration usually sends people running from one "quick fix" fake fitness plan to the next.  The only thing achieved here is spending tons of cash on unregulated crap, a continued unhealthy body and left without proper nutrition and exercise knowedge.



If you are serious about your fitness resolution, begin by accepting where you are and progressing slowly with choices you can live with, be happy about, and maintain for a lifetime.  "Rome wasn't built in a day" and neither will you. Allow yourself to be a beginner and be proud for each day accomplishing steps toward your goals.

I recommend reading my recent article "Resolve to Get Fit" covering vital information on how to eat for muscle, avoid diet mistakes, improve your metabolism and more. Take your time perusing the landing page for other articles that will help with accountability to your health and fitness resolution.





           









Fitness is All Day Long



Being a fit person is not a temporary condition but fills our entire day and life. The motivation to get in shape may have initiated with bikini season or an event but the lasting results should carry us the rest of this journey.  Some may give up the "fitness ghost" and settle back into old unhealthy habits, but that's not the way it's supposed to work.

Fitness is all day long and lifelong.  Personally, I enjoy a morning workout when my energy is highest and after a strong cup of coffee.  This kick starts my day, I feel great and it prepares my mind and body for the remainder of my 24/7 fitness shift.  My workout is not the only part of staying lean and muscular.  I have lots of healthy food ready to go and I stick pretty hardcore to a 90/10 nutrition plan.  I may relax some on the weekend shifting down to 80/20 to allow for the treats I enjoy, but never overboard.  I am a firm believer of drinking lots of water and easily down a gallon per day and yes, it means lots of bathroom visits.  My only downfall is not getting enough sleep which I lovingly blame on menopause, because the effort is there.

My personal share about fitness being all day long is showing the importance of thinking and incorporating what it takes to be a fit person.  I would be a hypocrite if I didn't walk the talk of what I teach daily to my clients and passionately write about online.  Fitness doesn't end at the workout, but includes the 23-hours after sweating your butt off. Don't think you'll be able to down pizza, beer, and donuts on the regular and call yourself a fit person.  Being fit all day long includes the type of food you eat, what you drink, how you think, getting quality rest, and balance of work and play.   When fitness becomes a habit, the healthy behavior is done without thought and going through the motions comes naturally. This is not about playing pretend or faking it because you know the truth.  In fact, those who are close to you will know the life you lead because as a fit person, there comes admiration from others. You become a motivator without even knowing it and may even be asked how you are able to maintain your healthy lifestyle.  Welcome to my world!

We need to live beyond our dreams and realize we all have the potential to achieve success.  Remaining positive in a negative world will be first on the agenda.  No more downing yourself before even trying.  "Busy" is a word used for people who really don't want it bad enough.  Lastly, there is no such thing as instant results.  Daily progress needs to become the focus.

Now, take action!  Start by making a plan and sticking to it.  Schedule your workouts, meal prep, stop eating fast food, and hanging out with negative people. You are responsible for your body and what it looks like.  You want it?  Go get it. This is called living beyond your dreams.  Nothing is going to happen until you make it happen.

Fitness is a permanent lifestyle change not something that magically occurs. Time to wake up and stop dreaming.  You can make healthy happen for you and that doesn't mean it will look like Peggy Sue or Dapper Dan.  This is your journey, your body and your fitness.  You will never look like anyone except your best healthy self when it's all said and done.  Are you ready to live beyond your dreams? Straight talk but all in fitness love!
