Physically fit means what?
What exactly does being physically fit really mean? What is involved in being physically fit? Does it encompass muscular endurance, muscular strength and then cardiovascular endurance and also flexibility? How would I know if I am physically fit or not and why would it matter?
Does it Matter?
It may not matter to some people. It does matter to me and many of my clients. How do I get more fit Holly? I want to do more weights. I just want to do cardio. I sure don’t want to do any Yoga! I don’t want to have muscles [...] Continue Reading…
You are just a wimp!
You exercise and you don’t lift a lot of weight, so what, does that constitute that you are just a wimp?
I was on a forum the other day and a young person was quite discouraged that he had tried an Insanity workout of some sort and was not losing but had actually gained 20 pounds. Now I must say that I am not privy to any more details than that, but the guy was obviously devastated… I can’t imagine that the gain was all muscle by the guy’s response, but come on 20 pounds put [...] Continue Reading…
The journey of eating for health takes time.
Many things have changed over the last couple of decades, I am sure that if you have had a journey with diet, exercise and food you will be able to relate..
It can take a lifetime to change habits. The mind habits are far more difficult to break than the body’s adaptation to a healthier diet. Even if you feel so much better with the healthier eating program, you have to stay on top of it or the old habits will come back. How many people do you know who have tried, done [...] Continue Reading…
If exercising were easy, everybody would do it, right! I wish it were easy.
Bad experience
How many people out there not wanting to exercise have had a bad experience in school? I think that the early life situations has helped many people develop reasons why they don’t like to get active. If they had had a good experience in their early childhood, I believe that more people would actually like to exercise. I haven’t got any stats to prove it, but I know that many of the people I know who don’t like to exercise disliked gym in school. They [...] Continue Reading…
Your body needs to move throughout life. As we get older and older little things in our body start giving out and we NEED to work those little kinks out. Those little kinks turn to big kinks and then we are in trouble.. and then don’t have the same ability to move, bend, stretch, lift, turn or balance the way we used to. I hear people in the 40′s already complaining about it.
What to do?
There are many different exercise mediums to help you become or to continue to be your healthiest and fittest to move easily in to the [...] Continue Reading…
So you have some self doubt about you! You’re normal! Sorry. Not really much unique about having self doubt, but it is unique to you and can feel pretty gut wrenching awful sometimes! Yup! And the only way to get over it is doing those gut wrenching awful feeling things over and over until the feeling goes away, or it diminishes enough so that you can do the thing you want to do. Finding the courage to do those things can be daunting at the best of times. In a previous post I talked about the things that Self [...] Continue Reading…
So you are picky about what you wear and what you drive and what you spend your money on, why not be picky about what you think?
So many thoughts?
Do you have any idea of how many thoughts go through your head on any given day? I’ve heard of 50,000 and as much as 80,000 in one day!! And the problem is that if they are negative and you don’t change them, what happens to those thoughts tomorrow? They repeat themselves and they are still negative!!
Are you aware of what you think?
For example: you wake in the morning and you [...] Continue Reading…
So what’s holding you back? I have toyed with the video idea for a long time. I kept convincing myself why I shouldn’t. Well, I changed my direction and started convincing myself why I should. A little closer look at me and why I didn’t want to do it, but with a couple of great role models and some endorphins after a great work out, here I am.
I would sure love to hear about your challenges about getting in front of the video camera past or present!! The tougher the challenge the better. Anyone got some humorous stories!! Please [...] Continue Reading…
You are picky about what you drive, and you are picky about what you wear, you are picky about how much you pay for things why not be picky about what you eat?
Any idea what you are eating?
Have you ever thought about how picky you are about what goes into your mouth. You are probably picky about how much you pay for what you eat, but have you ever thought about what you are actually paying for? Have you ever thought about what happens in your body when you consume what you paid for?
We are amazing
What about being picky [...] Continue Reading…
Do you know that you might be addicted to sugar? I don’t just mean white sugar either. I mean anything that could be made from white sugar or white flour and turns into sugar very quickly in your blood stream. Many of us don’t even realize how quickly these things become sugar in the blood. Do you think you could go without the “white stuff” easily?
I am working on the change!
Habits I quit easily
