I found that it’s okay to sin a little. I’m not one of those people that can wake up at 6 am before work and get a hard workout in, only to come home at 6pm and get a second workout in for the day. I admire those people, but I don’t think it’s necessary. You’re going to miss out on a lot in life if you become completely obsessed with working out.
I think it’s important to have some popcorn while going to the movies with friends, or a piece of cake while celebrating a wedding. If you don’t let yourself occasionally enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures, working out and health will become nothing but a daunting task. You have to make working out something new and exciting. Try different things out such as bike riding or going on a hike with friends. All physical activity will build muscles, and all physical activity will cut fat. The simple fact is: health can be fun. Health can be a tennis match with your kids, or a ball toss in the backyard. Just remember to keep moving, and you will be fit!

Sunday, September 20th, 2009Kick your way to a healthier, stronger you
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008For those who are not really into dancing your way to fitness or doing minimal work to get the results you want there is kick boxing. This is a very active high energy sport that will get you to rapidly tone and loose weight. This not only helps you to strengthen your body and tone but it helps you to strengthen your mind and your heart. One of the lessons is to always know your worth and realize that you are stronger than you think you are.
There are plenty of places you can go to practice or learn kick boxing or you can even get DVDs to learn in the comfort of your own home. Although to get the true benefit you should go to a school or get a partner to come over and practice with you. This way you get the full contact sport and you have a buddy system so you don’t give up so easy. This is great because it is a cardio and physical workout so you get the best of both worlds in one. With the buddy system you can really get into it and maybe even join a school or you can compete in local challenges. You could even just challenge each other to make sure you are up to par.
