Please remember these important keys to success as you move forward on
your wellness journey:
- Take Baby Steps
- Avoid Making Excuses
- STAY POSITIVE
- Be Proud of Yourself when you are done exercising
- HAVE FUN!
1) Always Eat Breakfast - and try to have it within 1 hour of waking
up. This will help keep your metabolism buzzing.
2) NEVER Skip Meals - this causes your metabolism to slow down and
sends the signal to your body to store your next meal as fat in order
to avoid starving.
3) Drink 64 Ounces of Water Per Day and one additional ounce per
minute of workout time - you should be going to the bathroom at least
once per hour.
4) Eat Something Every 2 Hours - so make sure to have healthy snacks
mid-morning and mid-afternoon. This again helps keep your metabolism
buzzing.
5) Do Interval Workouts 2 or 3 days per week intervals help you BURN
30% MORE CALORIES PER WORKOUT and can help leave your metabolism
elevated for up to 12 hours after each workout. You can access a FREE

6) Do the 6-minute No Excuses Workout 2 or 3 days per week you can
do this quick and highly effective strength training workout right in
your living room and no equipment is required. You can access the
FREE sample workout by going to:

7) Concentrate on Your Health as opposed to losing weight. And if you
have kids, concentrate on your kids and how you losing weight will
help improve the energy you bring to your relationship with them.
8) Hold Yourself Accountable and Don't Make Excuses. We are all
extremely busy, but you can fit movement into your schedule. You owe
it to yourself to have some personal time at least 3 times per week.
9) When you exercise, Be Proud of Yourself and know how much that it
positively effects your energy, health and life
10) Stay Positive. Life is too short to be beat yourself up over
weight that you have gained. Stay positive and it will help all areas
of your life.
11) Have Fun. If your workouts are not fun, than you are not going to
keep doing them. So if you dread going to a gym, than don't go.
Instead go for a walk, play with your kids in the yard, etc. If you
can turn the dreaded exercise word into a fun activity, than your
chances of being successful go up dramatically.
12) Throw the Rear View Mirror Out the Window. Concentrate on today
and tomorrow. You can't change the past and beating yourself up over
weight you gained, etc. is only going to drag you down and move you in
the wrong direction. Today is a new day so take advantage of it.
