The truth about getting in shape, foods for fat loss part 2, and the leg curl using the stability ball video.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MOTIVATION<\/b><\/div>\n
Sometimes, we need to just accept the truth that fat loss is not easy. If it was then everyone would be in great shape! Don’t be fooled by advertisements, infomercials or diet plans.\u00a0 You\u2019re not going to lose fat by taking a pill, going for an easy walk, lifting light weights for 15 minutes, or doing steady cardio on an elliptical.\u00a0 Cutting calories\u00a0 and eating only low fat foods won’t lead to sustainable fat loss either.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To lose weight and get in shape, you need a lifestyle approach to fitness. One that incorporates the right foods, the right workouts and the right mindset!\u00a0 Mindset plays a big role, larger than most of us ever realize. My podcast originally stemmed from realizing that there is still much misinformation about weight loss and fitness. When I owned my gym, I was shocked at how many of the members believed the false advertisements, commercials and things their \u201cfriends\u201d said or did to lose weight. The facts about losing weight and getting in shape were completely foreign to them. The fact that these myths still existed, made it clear to me that people need help sorting through unsupported concepts, skewed advertising and half-ass ideas about how to lose weight and get in shape.<\/div>\n
\n

As we approach the close of another year, I hope that my podcasts have shed light on some of the fitness myths that you may have heard and helped you get on the path to creating the body you want and keeping it!\u00a0 I know that what I teach works and that was reinforced today when I went to the gym for a little workout after being very sick the past week. I had no workouts for over a week, poor sleep and eating habits due to congestion and coughing and was not expecting to be able to do much as the gym. I was pleasantly surprised that I was strong and at about the same level as before I got sick! I credit the fitness lifestyle along with a focus on weight training rather than cardio as the key to staying in shape in spite of a layoff and illness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Oh, and did I mention there was plenty of Halloween candy for me to test while I was sick? Yup, and I still maintained! I may have babbled on about this in the podcast, not sure what the sinus medicines were doing to my brain! I wanted you to know that is it possible to achieve this type of conditioning and that I am no different than you!\u00a0 If I can do it, so can you!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s also the time of year to review your goals! I know there is one of mine that won’t get done this year. I’m not worried, I’ll make a new plan to achieve it sooner than later.\u00a0 Sometimes we drift off to other places when on the path to a goal.\u00a0 Sometimes we find that goal wasn’t the important part of the journey!\u00a0 Take a look at what you have accomplished this year. See that glass as “half full”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sure, I wanted to compete or at least get in shape for a competition this year, but it didn’t happen. That doesn’t mean it will never happen, just not in the year 2013.\u00a0 But that is not a failure, since there are many things that I did<\/u><\/b><\/i> accomplish this year:<\/div>\n
