A Fresh Start

Almost three weeks have slipped by in this New Year. Today the USA swore in a new President. New beginnings give us all a sense of hope. A fresh start. If you haven't started on your health goals for this new year - maybe today is just the right day to take that first step!

Write down where you want to be - in terms of your health and fitness levels. Decide on a timeframe. Would you like to lose twenty pounds before Spring Break? For some - Spring Break is just 8 weeks away. You can slim down and shape up before Saint Pattie's day arrives!

Start Today. Take action. Get up right now and walk as far as you can. Or walk and run. This will be here when you return. Start now.

Experts agree - the quickest way to lose weight and keep it off requires a twofold approach. Eating healthy foods and Exercise. Cut out the sugar and junk foods. Avoid fast food. Exercise a little each day!

Increase your workout time gradually. If you want to lose a bunch of weight - you might want to walk for 45 minutes each day. Run - if you can - for 20 or thirty minutes. Then walk some more. Eat more protein in the morning. Cut out the soda and useless fats. Sugar just makes your tummy big. A little chocolate in the mid-afternoon is OK though. ( A little! )

Can you enlist a friend to encourage you and accompany you when you walk? How about playing tennis a couple times a week? Or any sport you like. Play hard - you'll have fun and lose weight! Working out is more fun when you have someone to share your fun! And help you get those those inevitable doubts and valleys.

If you've been out of the fitness habit for a while - today is the perfect day to Start Getting in Shape Fast! Today is a great day to make a fresh start, a new beginning!
