It’s Never Too Late To Get Started!!

Okay, it’s February and those New Year’s Resolutions have not quite panned out the way you had hoped. Have no fear, it’s a brand new day. That’s the beauty in all of this. If it’s your diet that went out the window, start by cleaning out your refrigerator. Stock it with healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits. Plan your meals for the week (this works really well).  Prepare as many meals as you can and store them in the freezer.   Depending on where you’ll be during the course of the day, plan out what you’ll eat and when. Pack a lunch bag with yogurt, nuts, a protein bar or fruit for example. The key is to never go more than three hours without eating.

If you have not made it to the gym, that’s okay too. Start up tomorrow. Don’t try to make up for lost time your first time out (that’s how people get injured). Take it slow. Start with your cardio then maybe add one or two body parts. Get into a routine. Maybe you would like to try a class (be sure to let the instructor know you are a rookie, first timer, kindergartner-for those that take my classes you know what I mean). :-) If you’ve been apprehensive about going to the gym on your own, bring a buddy. If you’re not sure about how to start out once there, hire a trainer. They will help get you started. 

If you’re not able to make it to the gym at all there are lots of options at home.  If you have stairs you can use them for many different exercises.  For example, you can walk or run up and down for cardio.  You can do squats, lunges and pushups.  You can be as creative as possible provided you’re doing the exercises in a safe manner. If you have weights and or resistance bands you can have a great workout. You can do many other exercises just using your body weight for resistance if you don’t have weights. 

Well, I hope I have eliminated the excuses for you. :-) Remember, stay focused on your goals and just have fun. ”It’s never too late to get started”. :-)
