Doesn't Matter When or Where!

It doesn't matter when or where you do it.  The one thing that does matter is that you do it for you. Even if you can only workout 15 minutes a day, that's a start. DoIT FOR YOU!

5 Ways to Make Yourself Work Out When You Really Don’t Want To

As the days start to get shorter and the temperatures drop, you may be tempted to slack off on your workout routine. After all, it’s also no longer swimsuit season and we can hide under cozy layers! But it’s so important to keep moving and find something you not only love to do but also can do all year round.

For instance, during the spring and summer, I love to run, bike, swim, play tennis, chase my little guy all over the playground and hike with him in his baby carrier. But as winter approaches, I can fall back on my yoga practice, Pilates workouts, bundled walks, strength training, and skiing. Though, there are still some mornings when I would much rather snuggle in bed.

Here are some motivational tricks to help you break a sweat because you’ll definitely feel better after working out—and have the body to show for it winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Drink a cup of joe

Coffee is an ergogenic aid and can stimulate you to work out and help you last longer during your workout. Also, if you tell yourself, ‘I’m going to have a cup of coffee then lift weights’ you’ll have something set in your head. Try to keep this trick for you AM or midday workouts not later in the evening, though.

Plan your reward

Promise yourself you can only view the latest episode of “Scandal” or “New Girl” after you log a workout. Or if you’re not a TV watcher, give yourself some sort of reward for working out. I tell myself once I do my yoga practice, then I can surf the web for cute clothes for my baby boy.

Make a date

Schedule a weekly class, run, walk, hike, or tennis match with your friend, partner, or family member. I’m part of an Upper West Side Moms stroller walk and talk meet-up group in New York City. I get so much out of meeting other moms and spending an hour working out with them while still being with my son. Find something you can do—even if it’s joining a bowling league—that meets weekly and gets you excited to move.

Listen to your playlist

It’s like Pavlov’s dog: if you have a great playlist to work out to, once you play it, chances are you’ll get in the mood to break a sweat. Any upbeat music can get you in the mood to move your body. Just turn on Pandora or your favorite artist and dance around your living room or put on your headphones and go outside or to the gym to run.

Buy yourself new workout clothes

When I get a new yoga tank or an awesome pair of workout pants, I want to use them! I update my wardrobe each season with clothes that work for the whether. Invest in some fun long sleeve workout tops, get a long pair of running pants that will block the wind, find layers you love, and dress for success. I loved back-to-school shopping as s little girl and couldn’t wait to wear each outfit every day. I channel that same enthusiasm and excitement in to my workout wardrobe and plan some fun, new workout classes to take.

Defining Your Passion

So many people I talk to are not happy with their lives. Recently this happened in a discussion with a friend and I made a point to ask what would make him happy? The answer is almost always the same, he wanted to make a living doing something he loved to do. When asked why he wasn't living that life he replied, "Circumstances and timing has forced me into the situation that I am in today. My friend paused for a moment and then looked me in the eye and said, "Weren't you afraid of losing everything when taking such big risks?"  I replied, "I was more afraid not to take action against my fears for that they might come true!" 

So take a quiet moment to think about where you are and if you want to continue the path your on or is it time to go outside of your comfort zone and follow your passion.

Workout Out! Home or Gym?

It doesn't matter where you workout as long as you workout! If you are on trips do cardio involving push-ups, sit-ups, and a good cardio workout DVD like Insanity Pure Cardio!

Happy 4th of July!

Work Hard Play Safe!!!

Hammer Drill Workout!

It's all about proper form and determination!

Making it Happen!

I needed to improve my life, Plain and Simple!

You see, at the time I needed two things in my life,1.) My health back.
2.) I needed financial freedom.
Yes I bought into the whole thing about how P90X was going to get me ripped, healthy, and get my high school body back.
I watched the commercials over and over again until finally I knew it was my time to get what I wanted out of life.. This P90X was going to fulfill the # 1 on my list but little did I know # 2 was going to happen as well. Four years fast forward and not only has P90X improved my body, health, and life, but my lifestyle as well! Because of my transformation, I wanted others to experience what I had experienced. I educated myself on what was necessary to become a P90X coach! It was a lot simpler than I thought and before you know it, I was signed up! The extra income has enabled me to do things with my family that I could not have done.  P90X has changed My Way of Life in so many ways that living it is the only way to experience it. I have helped hundreds of people set life goals, get in shape, and earn extra income by becoming a coach themselves. 

So with that being said, I am looking for 2 proteges to take under my wing as a coach. Because of my busy schedule I am only able to effectively train a couple of coaches at a time. No experience is required, just a desire to change the life you are living.  To be a coach is to have your own low overhead business. For aprox $40.00 you will get your own websites, training, and the satisfaction of working for yourself. Remember, to get different results you have to change what you do on a daily basis.

God Bless!

Since I am a Veteran of P90X and it is my Vette, I had to buy the appropriate plates!
