<p>It takes serious courage to get out of your comfort zone and make a Change with your Health, Body or anything in life. </p>
<p>What is a big obstacle that holds many people back from achieving their goals is their comfort zone? </p>

<p>1: You don’t want to fight all the urges that hold you back.</p>
<p>2: You don't want to work for it.</p>
<p>3: You're not willing to let go of what's holding you back.</p>
<p>Does it sound familiar to you?</p>

<p><strong><em>Let me tell you the only One Step you should make to start your Transformation!</em></strong></p>
<p>The first step to change is making the choice that you are WILLING to create a positive change in your life. This means:</p>
<p>⁃	The only one opinion you care about is YOURS ( not your parents’s, your girlfriend’s/ wife’s or best friend’s etc.)</p>
<p>⁃	You are ready to fall down a lot of times ( because everything that is new is HARD in the beginning), but you are ready to stand up and grind again </p>
<p>⁃	You are ready to say YES to things you would normally say “no” to. Why? Because if you want NEW results you should start doing NEW things!</p>

<p>People ask me do I have a training plan. I don’t have any training plan for more than 3 years. I train intuitively, BUT it doesn’t mean that I don’t have a structure.</p>
<p><strong>Is a training program ESSENTIAL?</strong></p>
<p>It depends!</p>
<p>However, if you can easily train intuitively, why are there all this trainings programs/ numbers of reps/ sets/ progression etc?</p>

<p>If you are a beginner/ intermediate amateur (means you don’t have any knowledge in Kinesiology: Anatomy and Biomechanics, and program design: Cardiorespiratory, Strength, and Flexibility) you should have a training plan, because obviously you don’t know what exercises you need to perform to reach your goal, neither what exercises are pointless. </p>
<p><strong>Structure keeps you motivated and focused!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Numbers of exercises and reps give you a clear goal!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Progression every cycle will challenge you!</strong></p>
<p>Finally, the most important, after full cycle (week, months, years etc) you’ll have an Experience how your body responds to actual training plan!</p>

<p><strong>Intuitive training</strong></p>
<p>Right now, my training is intuitive.</p>
<p>Every time I set plan for my workout. </p>
<p>Note: I’ve been working out for 10 years now, and I have Certifications. </p>
<p><strong>BUT!</strong> I still have structure, I know what exercises are good, exercises I feel, exercises are needed for my body at this moment. </p>
<p>Since my training is not about any specific body goal, I am free to train how I feel each day.</p>
<p>How long will I follow this style?</p>
<p>Who knows! And who cares?!</p>
<p>Training for me is a lifelong pursuit! And here is a key! </p>
<p>It’s a phycology. After 5-7-10 years workout becomes a part of your daily routine! </p>
<p><strong>This is ESSENTIAL - Train hard no matter what your goal is! That goal is just as important as any other life goals!</strong></p>

<h2>Training will not replace your bad food choices. As well as a good diet will never replace your training. </h2>
<h2>The truth is, abs are made in the kitchen and no amount of cardio and crunches can sculpt a sleek physique if you maintain an unhealthy diet.</h2>
<h2>As well as a healthy diet without proper workout will never help you to build muscles, make your body toned, increase your endurance, or flexibility.</h2>
<h2>They say 70% Diet, 30% Training.</h2>

<p>There is a research that shows energy expenditure and comes to the conclusion, that dieting is responsible for 92% of weight loss while exercising is only responsible for 8% of weight loss. </p>
<p>Weight loss! Get it? </p>

<p>Weight means water (inflammation), muscles and fat! It’s not about muscle gain or even FAT loss!</p>

Canyon Ranch Woodside

<h1>Always a Good Time To Start New</h1>
<p>Escaping to a luxury retreat or finding wellness at home, follow these 5 tips to live in joy and greater fulfillment. </p>

<p>It’s that time of year we starting thinking of the changes we’d like to make. Maybe it’s time to look at new beginnings, not as resolutions, but as small life changes we can implement today, tomorrow, any day of the year. It’s time to pick ourselves up and find our flow again; time to reconnect with ourselves and indulge in some seriously needed self-care. </p>
<p>Recently I visited the newest of the Canyon Ranch properties located just outside of San Francisco in the beautiful redwoods of Woodside, California. Priding itself as the leader of luxury, destination retreats for 40 years, Canyon Ranch’s Woodside location marks a bit of a departure from those in Lennox, Las Vegas and the original in Tucson. Think of Woodside as a customizable retreat rather than a hotel, easily accessible in the Bay Area for two days, a week-long stay or longer. While the other locations have set programs, directions and offerings, Canyon Ranch Woodside is more choose your own adventure. Select those activities to help your mind, body and soul unwind, relax and energize while experimenting with some self-care techniques perhaps we haven’t thought of. </p>

<p>It’s all but certain every one of us stretches ourselves too thin, takes on too much and never seems to accomplish as much as we or society demands. We expect more and more of ourselves, but all too often we fail to realize by checking out, our time checked back in can become more efficient, productive and yes, more joyful. The desire to re-energize is universal. Give yourself the opportunity to detach. Treat yourself to some time away from the grind and enjoy your version of luxury. Maybe it’s an afternoon of solitude spent by the beach, a simple walk in a nearby park or perhaps it’s a retreat like one at Canyon Ranch. By removing ourselves from our daily responsibilities and intentionally throwing ourselves into new surroundings that call for reflection and meditation, we set ourselves up for renewal.</p>
<p>In an environment that speaks peace, we’re able to do activities we might normally do, such as hiking, but with a deeper appreciation and a new-found appreciation. During my time at the ranch not only do I explore the grounds by hiking, I run a long trail through the protected forests adjacent to the property. The sensation of the rain against my skin, the earthy, mossy aroma of the giant redwoods and crackle of branches above seemingly conspire to aid my sense of flow as my feet glide over the rolling hills of this forest with a wild exuberance. I am one with nature. A routine activity practiced in a new setting opens the senses, those physical and those of spirit, to experiencing it with greater enjoyment. We can disconnect in order to reconnect with why we fell in love with all those things we enjoy in the first place.  </p>

<p>I’m sure you already have a couple physical activities you use to further your health and wellness. A gym routine. Pilates. Swimming. Maybe, like me, you enjoy a rigorous yoga practice that stretches the muscles, challenges endurance and makes us sweat as much as any treadmill sprint. Every once in awhile it’s worth tossing up all we know about our chosen activities to look at them anew. Change things up! Not only does the body get stronger when we keep it on it’s metaphorical toes, but we can find an appreciation, an enjoyment, for another way while keeping our minds agile. </p>

<p>It’s this flexibility that is often said to keep us youthful. In fact, Deanna, program director at Canyon Ranch Woodside aims to create an environment where adults reconnect with their inner child and learn to play again. As she guides me through the on-site, outdoor fitness course we climb over a six-foot tall wall, pull ourselves up long fishing ropes, swing from monkey bars and run a loop with ten pound bags thrown over our shoulders. We fall in the mud, get our elbows dirty and most importantly, laugh in the moment. Moving indoors I join a yoga session during which the instructor purposely designs the class against what I normally expect from my practice. While still opening the hips, elongating the chest and finding space in the upper back, we focus more on a slow, gentle mediation. Being flexible and open to change with a humble desire to continual learning, physically we grow while our emotional center finds understanding, confidence and a greater sense of ease. </p>

<p>Ever wonder how to blow glass? What’s it like to feel wet clay between your fingers as you shape pottery? Maybe you’ve always wanted to speak German? All too often our minds initiate a desire that we just as quickly find a reason not to follow through on. For years I thought “one day I’ll run a 50 mile race,” but did nothing to work towards the goal. I wasn’t even a runner at the time! Once I began the training, I joined a class during which I quickly realized running is a personal passion of mine. That inner voice encouraging us to take on that new endeavor, it’s the one worth following. The voice of doubt, of “I’m not enough,” of excuses- that voice literally gets us nowhere. Listening to our inner most desires, experimenting with them and finding healthy ways to implement them into our lives makes us more well-rounded individuals capable of whatever we set our minds to. </p>
<p>One evening at Canyon Ranch Woodside I pop into a small class gathered for The Power Of Journaling during which the five of us participants look at the spiritual benefits of keeping a journal. As someone who has a daily gratitude practice, this seminar helps me to look at journal keeping in a new light. Setting aside a few minutes of every day exclusively as my own, in order to write down thoughts, feelings and perspective can be an incredibly useful tool in developing them further or in letting them go. While we don’t need to be with others to write, there is something about coming together in a group to collectively focus on an activity. After given prompts to write about, we discuss, find areas of common ground and encourage each other forward. This is the power of a class, even with an activity so individual as journal writing. Listen to that voice. Find a class to help develop it. Focus. Allow yourself to be pushed and held accountable. </p>

<p>Yes, we all know and understand the value of having and executing a well thought out plan. But when was the last time you changed it up in the heat of the moment? Being confident in our plans, in our own bodies, gives us the ability to approach life with an open mind. We can always return back to the plans we made or what it is we know; in the meantime, say yes more. Say yes to new adventures. Say yes to spending the afternoon with that friend you’ve put off because life has gotten in the way. Allow yourself to live in the moment and discover joy in unexpected places. </p>
<p></p>
<p>There’s great value in saying yes to last minute ideas both with long-term plans and in daily activities. Hiking is an activity I gravitate to when given a choice. But while enjoying an incredible lunch at Canyon Ranch Woodside I’m introduced to the retreat’s Tai Chi instructor. We strike up a light conversation. My curiosity peaks. He is to begin a class in minutes, just as I have a guided hike planned. Giving myself the freedom to be spontaneous, I step into Tai Chi. I choose the activity simply because it’s something I’ve never done. </p>

<p><strong>During the class I learn new techniques to attach movements to calm, deep breathes. I realize I’m a forty year old an endurance runner who repetitively works the same muscles during my training, but here I am moving my body through choreography it’s never done before. Sure, at times I falter in understanding the movements, but I take a moment, regroup and begin again. When it connects, there’s a gentle flow of mind, body and spirit moving as one. A willingness to be spontaneous while humbly step into something new and feeling our way through it can lead to great, unexpected rewards. </strong></p>

<p>What is important in your life? How do you want to feel everyday? Are there values you hold at this stage in life that you didn’t in another? When we answer fundamental questions, we give ourselves a path, a direction. In taking time to reflect on where we’ve been, where we are, and most importantly, where we’d like to go, we begin developing a life of purpose. Instead of viewing life as something that happens to us, it’s much more fulfilling to take active ownership and create the life of our dreams. </p>
<p>Before departing my three day retreat, I select a one-on-one course at Canyon Ranch Woodside. Cultivating a Life of Purpose. Spending an hour with a certified life coach, we immediately dive deep into a wide-ranging discussion during which she encourages a holistic life review of what’s important and how am I living out the four dimensions of wellness: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It’s a comprehensive reflection on how the dimensions intersect, how I spend my resources and how my thoughts, beliefs and emotions align with my desires. Underneath it all, it’s an exercise in love and acceptance of who I am and who I want to be. This is self-care of the highest order. In allowing ourselves to dream and use our imaginations to form the lives we want, the Universe immediately begins to align. </p>

<p>This year make quality self-care a top priority. I can hear you now… “But isn’t that so selfish.” Yes. It is. But it’s also the greatest gift we can give those around us. In taking time for ourselves while nurturing positive lives of health and wellness, we become gentler, more compassionate, more focused, souls capable of enjoying all life has to offer from its challenges to those days when it all just flows!</p>

<h1><strong>Changing the Game, Defying the Odds</strong></h1>
<p><strong><em>How an NFL Hall of Famer, Former United States Navy Seal, and the Youngest Steer Wrestler in Professional Rodeo Defy challenges on and off the field </em></strong></p>

<p>Do you believe in the power of persistence, determination, and inclusion? At DEFY, these core values serve as the foundation of our company. DEFY is a lifestyle brand that believes in defying pain, defying injuries, defying the odds, and, most of all, defying others’ perceptions of who you are and what you’re capable of achieving. </p>
<p>Defy is proudly black, veteran, and female-owned. Founded by a team that realized they not only shared the same passion for fitness, but had to overcome physical, mental, and societal challenges as well, Defy was born from the idea to create the ultimate performance product that will give you the motivation to push past adversity and defy limits. </p>
<p>Defy made history in 2019 as the world’s first mainstream CBD built for athletes. Formulated to aid in muscle recovery and clear-headed, hyper-focused training, Defy products (with 0% THC) are formulated to deliver naturally-derived performance, recovery, and rejuvenation. </p>

  <h1><strong>Why this All-Star Team is Betting on the Future of CBD in the Athletic Community </strong></h1>
In 2017, NFL Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis first used CBD as a healthy alternative to alleviate debilitating pain from the constant pressures placed on a pro athlete’s body. After suffering numerous setbacks that prevented him from working out, from migraines to constant muscle fatigue, Terrell implemented CBD into his workout regimen—and it changed his life. 
</p>
<p>No longer hindered by pain and loss of energy, he was able to recover faster, focus harder, and achieve levels of endurance he hadn’t felt since his early days in the NFL. As Co-Founder, Terrell continues to break boundaries as an entrepreneur championing rights of black business owners in a growing industry. </p>
<p>The founders discovered that CBD enhanced their lives and incorporated it into their daily routines. Becoming true devotees, they view CBD as more than just a gateway to quick recovery and rejuvenation: CBD is the key in giving everyone an advantage to push past obstacles and adversity. Thus began their mission to launch DEFY as a minority-, woman- and veteran-owned business that defies the odds as not just just a line of CBD and wellness products but a lifestyle brand.</p>

<p>After conferring with Terrell, athletes and entrepreneur Megan Bushell and Beau Wheeler became excited about the health and wellness benefits of CBD. They realized its potential to serve a customer base looking for high-quality, trustworthy, non-THC products. After years working alongside industry experts to find the perfect formulation with 0% THC, they discovered a unique formula that would pave the way for DEFY. Under Megan’s bold leadership as CEO, DEFY continues to push boundaries by introducing new products into the CPG market.</p>
<p>After twelve years as a Navy SEAL, Megan and Beau’s good friend Eric Frohardt also personally reaped the benefits of CBD, amazed at its ability to treat painful injuries he sustained while in service. He has since become a fierce advocate, extolling the virtues of CBD as a natural, alternative method to over-the-counter-medication for the veteran community. Eric’s role as Partner is a testament to DEFY’s commitment in forging sustained partnerships with the military and veteran communities to better their lives.</p>

<h1><strong>A ‘discouraged’ Terrell Davis almost ditched his first NFL season: “The only way you really fail is to quit.”</strong></h1>
<li>Anyone questioning their talents or abilities when embarking on a new career can take solace in this fact: even future Hall-of-Famers have doubts.</li>
<p>That includes Terrell Davis, the former Denver Broncos star running back and NFL MVP, who won two Super Bowls in the 1990s. Davis, who was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2017 after rushing for more than 7,600 yards in a seven-year career, almost quit football before he even played his first NFL game in 1995. </p>
<p>At the time, Davis was an unheralded sixth-round draft pick entering his rookie season in the NFL. He was trying to win a job as the Broncos’ starting running back, but he entered the preseason as the team’ssixth-stringin the position. Davis also felt he wasn’t getting enough playing time in preseason to prove his talent to his coaches, the now 47-year-old Hall-of-Famer told entrepreneurMarcus Lemonisin a recent Instagram Live interview.</p>
<p>When the Broncos traveled to Tokyo for the team’s second preseason game, an exhibition match against the San Francisco 49ers, Davis got so discouraged in the practices leading up to the game that he nearly quit the team and flew back to the U.S., he told Lemonis, who is the host of CNBC’s “The Profit.”</p>
<p>“I almost quit in training camp when I was in Tokyo, Japan in preseason because I wasn’t getting the opportunity to show them what I could do,” Davis told Lemonis. “I just felt like it wasn’t for me. They had faster guys who were better than me at the time, and I got a little discouraged, so I wanted to quit.”</p>

<h1><strong>DEFYing Adversity from a Very Young Age </strong></h1>
<p>For Davis, who played inthe NFL from 1995 to 2001 for the Denver Broncos, his path to success has not been without its roadblocks. Beginning in childhood, he suffered frequent and severely debilitating migrainesperforated by vomiting and blindness. He alsoslipped through society cracks soon after losing his father at the age of 12.</p>
<p>“I really went off the deep end. I was in ninth grade, I was 13 and hanging out in a neighborhood I should not have been. I was in the car, and a fight broke out. I got out and tried to stop it,” Davis, a San Diego native, recalled. “And then I found myself staring down the end of a double-barrel shotgun.”</p>

<h1><em>“I embody that underdog role. That’s what gets me excited, having to fight for everything. And that is what I tell people. The only thing I can guarantee you in this life is that you are going to have setbacks, you are going to have obstacles, you are going to have failures and disappointments and everything in between, so prepare your mind for those things.”</em></h1>

<p><em>Defy, a CBD sports performance brand that was co-founded with NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis, has a new CEO at its helm: Megan Bushell </em></p>

<p>In Fall 2020, DEFY was proud to announce Megan Bushell as its new CEO. DEFY, the prominent sports performance brand co-founded by NFL Hall-of-Famer Terrell Davis, made history as the world’s first-ever mainstream hemp extract performance beverage built specifically for athletes.</p>
<p>Megan arrives to DEFY with a prolific background in sports media and technology. She helped to grow Direct Sports Network (DSN), a one-time small start-up, into a power player in digital media.

<p><strong>TRX</strong> is a form of suspension training that uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously. It requires the use of the <strong>TRX</strong> Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user's body weight to complete the exercises.</p>
<p>If you don’t own a TRX this is the perfect time to own one☝️ Here are 5 of the many benefits of using a TRX</p>
<p>1. Suitable for all levels</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you’re an Olympic athlete or just venturing into a new hobby of fitness, TRX training is beneficial for all levels of athlete. Just by changing your body position slightly, the load can be increased or decreased on your muscles meaning that everyone can use this method of training.</p>
<p>2. Improve cardio and strength</p>
<p>TRX workouts will not only improve your muscle strength, but also your cardiovascular endurance. By changing the speed at which you perform the exercise, you can increase the work out you give to your heart and lungs.</p>
<p>3.Engages whole body</p>
<p>The instability that the TRX suspension system creates whilst you perform movements means that your core is constantly activated. Moreover, the functional movements mean that many muscles are worked at the same time, providing a very comprehensive workout.</p>
<p>4. Low impact nature</p>
<p>Because of its suspended nature, TRX training is very low impact and means that your joints are not put under much stress. This means that there is a low risk of injury, allowing you to train as hard as you wish with less risk of causing or agitating a pre-existing injury.</p>
<p>5. You can use it from home and travel with it, this way you have no excuse to not working out. The TRX is super light and makes it so easy to take along with you anywhere you go. </p>

<p>So we lost the plot one evening. </p>
<p>Lying in bed deciding on how we could kick start our new fitness life in Australia we somehow managed to sign up to an Ironman 70.3 (a half Ironman). </p>
<p>It’s madness I tell you. </p>
<p>With limited mental capacity to keep running further than 5km, cycling 10km and swimming more than 300m before my brain settled into a state of boredom and distress. This was going to be a challenge. </p>
<p>But we had done it now. And there was no going back. So with a few months gone by now and not much training been done. It’s time to crank it up and make myself accountable and get on with the dreaded training.</p>
<p>My lungs and heart are going to take a battering and my body is going to change the way it works and moves. Mobility training will come into its own with the majority of my training being single plane (moving in one direction) I am going to need to keep my joins and muscles aware of all the other directions they are designed to move and protect my body in.</p>
<p>So here we go. </p>

<h1>The swim</h1>
<p>1.9km open water swim.</p>
<p>The swim event for the Ironman 70.3 is an open water swim. Gosh that’s a long way.</p>
<p>With the thinking that the swim would be my weakest of the 3 events I have probably spent the most tome on this. And after my foes 600m swim I thought I would never be able to finish the swim section let alone get to the next 2. </p>
<p>Over the last month I have built up to a 2000m swim in just under and hour. Which is ok with 6months still to go. But I am training in a pool! Very different to open water.</p>
<p>I did try an open swim in a rather exposed section of coastline where the tide had turned and the currents were, let’s say bloody strong! So for my feeble attempt in the water ( also afraid of all the things in the water that could kill me) was about 150m against a current running the opposite directing down the coast. We’ll just say it was not a great experience. </p>
<p>So back in the pool. Now the Theory is that you need to swim 3/4 - 2 times more than the actual distance in a pool to be ready for the open water. Oh goodness. </p>
<p>2 swim sessions for about 1500 a 2000m or 1.5 to 2 hours a week should be enough. </p>
<p>Now for planning. It’s hard to plan 2 swims into a week if you work. Luckily I am job hunting. But that doesn’t mean that my mental motivation doesn’t get the better of me. From time to time.... or most of the time. </p>

<p>My swim where I did 2000 m in under an hour. </p>
<p>No idea if they are good or bad stats. </p>

<h1>The bike!</h1>
<p>90km with a cut off time of 5hrs from start.</p>
<p>Now this is my worst event.</p>
<p>If find this event the most boring and painful and full of the 3 disciplines. </p>
<p>And I am rubbish.</p>
<p>My “granny legs” or “chicken legs” don’t have any muscle so they do not like having to make the peddles turn. At least with the run you can generate momentum through the ankle to bounce off each step. But in cycling it just pure hell.</p>
<p>90km is looking like a very distant reality. </p>
<p>With a few outdoor rides of which one was up a “small” (by cyclist standards) mountain I nearly died. We had a route downloaded on the Garmin and when I got to the top it bleeped and buzzed. The route had been done by someone else and they were essentially a virtual ride buddy. But they had finished and got home by the time I made it to near the top. So a lot of work needed on this event. </p>
<p>I am planning on 2 rides a week one on the trainer and then one trying to get out (Queensland heat is a little be debilitating), or a brick session mixing a ride then a run. </p>

<p>
  <h1>The run.</h1>
21.3 km and needs to be completed within 8hrs of start. 
</p>
<p>This I can do. But not in 2.5-3 hrs at the moment. I am running 5km is just over half an hour at the moment so still a fair way to go. </p>

<p>But with an increase in speed, hill and time training with 2 to 3 runs a week this should get better. </p>
<p>Or so I try to convince myself daily. </p>
<p>But motivation is the killer. To make myself do the training is hard. </p>

<h1><strong>Diastasis</strong> Recti</h1>

<p></p>
<p><strong>What is Diastasis Recti?</strong></p>
<p>Is a partial or complete separation of the Rectus abdominis.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Why does this happen?</strong></p>
<p>Your rectus abdominal, the six-pack muscles is a pair of long, flat muscles that run vertically down each side of your abdomen. These muscles hold in your internal organs and stabilize your core.</p>
<p>As your belly expands during pregnancy, the connective tissue gets stretched out, allowing the rectus abdominis to pull apart and separate vertically down the middle. </p>
<p>Sometimes the tissue heals, and the muscles come back together after delivery when your hormone levels return to pre-pregnancy levels. But if this doesn't happen in three to six months, you may have Diastasis Recti. Studies show that about 40 percent of women have a diastasis at six months postpartum.</p>

<h2><strong>How can I check if I have Diastasis Recti?</strong> </h2>
<p>To check for a diastasis recti, lie on your back, with your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Place your hand, palm down over your belly, with your fingers pointing toward your toes. Press your fingers gently into your navel area, then slowly lift your head, drawing your chin to your chest. This causes your rectus abdominis to contract, If you feel a gap of at least two finger widths between the muscles as they contract, you have a diastasis. A gap as wide as four or five fingers is considered severe. Repeat the procedure below and above your belly button because the separation may be wider in different places. Another way to check is with your Dr.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>What can I do about diastastis recti?</h2>
<p>Once the connective tissue gets stretched out, it can be difficult to rebuild your core strength and bring your muscles back together. Doing traditional crunches can make your condition worse. They tend to make those muscles tighter, pushing them further apart and stretching the connective tissue, even more so that it grows thinner and weaker.</p>
<p>You can often correct a diastasis with specific exercises, but i would recommend guidance from a Personal￼ trainer or ￼physical therapist. (It can also help women who still look pregnant and have trouble strengthening their core, even if they don't have a diastasis recti.)</p>

<h1>Make it fun </h1>
<p>Try and do‏ any physical activity that you love to do.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>walking and listening to a podcast, dancing in your room with blasting music or taking a dancing class, boxing, hiking with your dogs or swimming. </p>
<p>It doesn’t have to be a anything specific as long as your committed to doing it.</p>
<p>I find it much easier to commit to something you love to do then something you can’t stand. Doing something you dislike might get you though a week but after a wile you will give up. </p>
<p>Try to be realistic and know what works for you and what you’ll actually do. </p>
<p>The main thing is we need to move our body one way or another so why not make it fun! </p>

<h1>Have a friend keep you accountable </h1>
<p></p>
<p>Having a friend or a partner to hold you accountable is extremely helpful to helping you stay on track and a reminder to not give up on your goals. </p>

<h1>Balance is key </h1>
<p>having a cheat day once a week and rewarding yourself with something you love will actually help you keep your goals on track.</p>
<p>It’s so important to give your body some rest and enjoy the little things in your life.</p>
<p>rewarding yourself by getting a ice cream on the weekend or a slice of pizza (all in moderation) is totally fine and extremely important for your life.</p>
<p>Be preset and control yourself with out putting yourself down and letting yourself go. </p>
<p>Balance is key! </p>

<h1>Sick of going to the gym but still want to get a workout in? </h1>
<p>The idea of working-out can sometimes get overwhelming especially to those who don’t workout on a regular basis.</p>
<p>We tend to forget how easy it is to exercise by moving and having fun and just being out doors.</p>
<p>My husband and I rented rollerblades for 7$ in Santa Monica and we had a blast. Point is it doesn’t have to be expensive.</p>
<p>Try an activity for example:</p>
<p>Hiking, riding a bike, trying a hobby you enjoy or take a walk on the beach. Just move your body and have fun with whatever it is you decide to do. </p>
