Make Getting in Shape part of your weekly plan!

Now that Summer is behind us we have the opportunity to enjoy some milder temperatures in most of North America! Get outside and play while the weather is nice. Pick up your fitness program or turn it up a notch if you can. Make some time for yourself each day and be selfish. Don't let any distractions interfere with your exercise time. Schedule it. Write it down in your planner and stick to it!

A few simple changes in your daily routine will bring great rewards! Make small, manageable changes in your daily diet and exercise habits. Realistic changes that you can do. Don’t over do it or try to reach for an unrealistic goal. Take it easy and enjoy the journey! Do what you truly know you can do, like walking 20 minutes every day at lunch, or even three days a week.

Make it a habit to include more vegetables and fruits in your daily diet. Cut back on refined sugars, soda and junk food. Small changes practiced daily will lead to big results! Pretty soon you won't even miss those morning donuts! Candy bars won't look quite so tasty!

If you slip and miss a day or cheat a little, don't give up. Simply decide to do better tomorrow and the next day. At the end of a week, or a month, measure your progress. Revisit your plan and make changes to help facilitate your success.

Action is a key to your success. Take whatever action you can today! And then again tomorrow. Make it a habit! You'll start seeing results in no time! The quickest way to lose weight or build a more muscular, toned body is with daily action. You can exercise and lose weight fast. Start getting in shape fast and feel better in no time!
