My “Glory Days” Plan To Get Back My Fitness

2019-09-24T02:10:27-04:00

Keeping on with the fitness theme this month… I want to share something personal. I’ve been “off track” with my fitness for years now. And I’m finally getting around to having a plan in place to get back into things.  What I’m remembering – and why this may be useful to you – is that it’s no small task.  There’s work, planning, and dedication that goes into it.

There are two things you can be sure of: (1) there’s even more construction going on than usual.  And (2) people are coming out of hibernation in droves and realizing there’s only 8 weeks left to swimsuit season. Before you put the pedal to the metal, however…a caution.  Here are three mistakes that could be the proverbial fly in your sweet fitness lemonade:   Too much, too soon.

How to Get Your Workout in When You’re Busy

Life gets busy and most people struggle to fit everything into 24 hours. That’s why many people skip a regular workout routine, knowing that that’s one of those things that can be skipped in order to have more time getting their work done, spending time with their family, or finishing all of the chores at night. The problem is we are not doing any favors for our health.
