This applies to so many aspects in life but for me, it especially pertains to training for sport and fitness competition.
Making a drastic change in your lifestyle to achieve your sport, nutrition and/or health related goal is never easy but it is worth it.
I challenge you to take a look at the goal that may have flickered across your mind as you read last's weeks blog and make two or three changes in your daily routine this week.
If your goal is weight loss, burn extra calories by taking the stairs, parking further away from your office doors or sneaking in an extra 10 minutes of cardio in a day.
If your goal is to clean up your diet, spend tonight preparing your meals for tomorrow, throwing away the snacks that always tempt you or even making a meal plan for a week.
If your goal is to excel at a sport, take the time spent doing nothing that you tell yourself is your "relaxing" time - and do some sport specific training.
You have already set a goal for yourself. Take it day by day and use small weekly goals to achieve the big picture. You can do it!
Remember, you have already set yourself apart from the crowd by taking these measures - everybody does not do what you do because it isn't easy, but it is Iyour goal and it is worth it!
Fitness: Incorporate more complex movements into your workout routine. While isolation exercises are great and have their place, complex movements such as the deadlift utilize more muscles groups and therefore increase caloric burn. They also allow you to get more done in a shorter period of time.
- Pair together a bicep curl and a shoulder press
- Lunge and an oblique twist
- Pushup and a deep squat jump
Nutrition: Make water your only drink of choice. Caffinated beverages cause dehydrated while sugary juices are high calorie and have little nutritional value. It is best to stick with water!
