Coach's Corner 5/1/14

How's your fitness going? It is going on 7 years since Tammy and I found Beachbody. I am stronger in my late 40's then I was in my late 30's. Tammy and I started the year with a round of P90X3. It is a great starter and/or maintenance program in only 30-minutes a day. After a 1-week break we started a 60-day round of Insanity (we last did a complete 60-days back in April 2010). We are in week 2 and I can just say "Dig Deeper". Here is a little video from Tammy's Facebook page Triceps work. We are still eating a plant based diet and drinking Shakeology for our nutrition.

Resolve vs. Resolution
It's been many months since we all made New Year's resolutions. We make resolutions as a goal to be somewhere or someone different in the future. Resolve is the action that you take in the present to meet that resolution. Resolve is steps taken each day to make your goal a reality.  May is here. Is it time for some "Mid Year" resolve?
When it is early in the morning or late in the day and you have no time to work out, what do you do? How about resolving to put forth action and push play. When making healthy food choices it will cost you extra time and money, but you will resolve to eat healthy. When you have missed a workout or had a day of treats, this is when you tap into some of that resolve and set yourself right back on track. Resolve, and then resolve some more, your future is worth it.

Tips To Having Resolve:
  • Take the step to connect with your FREE coach (Me). Yes, be accountable it can make the difference. See the Facebook connection to Tammy and I below.
  • Clean out the junk food - you know what foods I'm talking about. Even baby steps are better than no steps at all.
  • Plan your nutrition - Tammy and I are always reminding each other that good food is our fuel. Use your Beachbody program guide. Like the step of cleaning out the junk food you need a specific plan with you nutrition, you need to eat consciously. A good tool to assist in getting started balancing proper foods and portions would be the 21-day fix and don't forget the benefits of Shakeology Here I Spotlighting most of the 70 ingredients in Shakeology
  • Have a fitness plan - follow a Beachbody program 30, 60 or 90 days check the days off the calendar. I am only successful when I have a plan laid out. Below is also a link for some free workout routines.
  • Start your workout whether it be a DVD, walking, or jogging, even if you don't feel like it. Start out with the idea of doing just 10 minutes. The pet slogan of,  "just do it" works.  If you "just do it" more likely than not, you will finish and feel great.
Many of you I think may be like me. I am not the type that makes resolutions but someone that knows I can be a better me and need some resolve to make that change. I encourage you to message me and we'll find you some tools that can help you be a better you. You can't finish if you don't start. I look forward to hearing from you.

Never Give up

I will end this post with a special shout-out to those that commit to bettering their health and nutrition. As Arthur, the star in the inspirational video below, says, "it is a simple but frightening message, that is, that you can do it. It's very easy to NOT do it, to say you can't. Then, you can very easily retreat back into inability, retreat back into fear, back into lack of control ..."
I know it is not easy, but you have a choice. It took this gentleman the discipline to continue even when he did not believe in himself. He continued to work hard and it was only after much failure that he even started to believe that it could happen.
Never, Ever Give Up. Arthur's Inspirational Transformation!



To your Health,
Coach Jay
