Simple Changes Lead to Big Results


The Journey to better health and fitness can bring about many lasting benefits - in addition to losing weight. Not only will you get rid of that belly - you will realize more energy! Fitness is to your body what fine tuning is to an engine. It enables you to perform up to your potential. Fitness helps us look, feel and do our best!

Do you ever find yourself wishing you had more energy as your day progresses? Do you ever wish you could have more fun - maybe enjoy life more?

Get out your planner or even just a plain notebook. Write down one goal for this week - keep it simple. Something you feel confident you can get done. Like walk around the block 4 times or walk for 15 minutes at lunch. Then do it. As many days as you can, while leaving at least one day a week to rest your body, find some time for exercise.

As you reach your initial goal - write down another, new goal. Remember - keep it simple and be realistic. Maybe preparing your own healthy lunch or dinner rather than hitting the fat-food drive up window. Or doing some resistance exercises every other day. You don't need anything fancy at first. Simple steps help you get the ball rolling! Help your fitness journey gain some momentum with simple, daily efforts.

Small, simple changes every day can lead to big results over the long run! Kobe didn't just start lighting up the nets this year. He practices his art every day. And keeps his body in top physical form to handle the grueling demands of an NBA season. That Guy on TV who lost 150 pounds in one year walked every day and changed his eating habits. Change takes time!

At the end of every week - look at the goals you wrote down. Evaluate your progress and decide what new goal(s) you want to tackle! Reward yourself for your success! You deserve it! Buy yourself a new pair of really comfortable walking shorts. Recognize when you're meeting your goals and be proud of your progress!

Then, keep moving. Capitalize on the progress you've made and build upon your success! If weight loss is one of your desires - the quickest way to lose weight is with consistent vigorous exercise and eating healthy foods! You can feel better. You can have more energy and enjoy life more!

Keep setting (and reaching) small, simple goals. Gradually build your exercise time and intensity each week. Enjoy eating more healthy foods in moderation. Dieting is Easier When You Love the Food. Delicious meals shipped to your door. It's a proven strategy that works!


You can live longer and have more fun along the way if you start with small, simple changes!
