Three No-Fail Strategies to Fit Living

Okay, so it has been two months now, how are your resolutions holding up? If one of your New Year's resolutions was to keep stay motivated and workout on the regular here are some tips to continue to stick with it! Keep a strong determination for success with these strategies and keep it up all year long.

  • Get Support!
  • Write it down!
    • "Keeping a journal helps you stay committed to working out, it can be rewarding to see how much you've done, or a reality check to see that you haven't been exercising hard enough," says Amy Bento trainer on the DVD 10-minute Solutions: Tone Trouble Zones. Personally, writing it in my day-planner helps me to remember that it should be part of my daily routine and schedule, but any notebook will do. In addition, fitday.com offers a free online journal or fitnessjournal.org offers a log for a small price; both help set goals, track results, weigh-in, offer tips and other helpful tools.
  • Prepare for Problems!
    • Daily life offers obstacles that can interrupt your routine. Whether a late meeting makes you miss your favorite spin class, or rain puts the brakes on your daily run, invest in fitness DVD's and in-home equipment for easy access to a quick workout. Thirty minutes a day is all it takes; don't let life put a stop to your success. The FitTV channel plays a variety of workout programs throughout the day, and you can get them on-demand if you have the feature on your television. Check with local cable networks to find out if you get the channel.

There is no time like the present, so even if you didn't set a resolution to get fit, now is the time! Use these tips everyday and get on the fast track to success. Eat right, workout and make fitness a priority in your life!
