I Aspire 2Inspire

A participant of my outdoor boot camp class told me that she did not believe others when they told her that exercise was a stress reliever; but after her very first ever exercise class participation with muah, she said she felt an aliveness and energy that made her feel as if she could do anything, and that is why I do what I do. It warms my heart when I inspire others to adopt a healthy lifestyle and I hear how amazing it makes them feel. She is now joining a gym. Like her, you have to experience it for yourself. Let's start by making S.M.A.R.T. choices. 

S=Specific

Instead of "I want to eat better

Be more specific and say "I will cut soda out of my diet" or "I will eat breakfast every morning"

Instead of "I need to get in shape"

Be more specific and say "I will exercise at least 3 days per week for 30 minutes""

Instead of "I should pay more attention to my health"

Be more specific and say "I will keep a food and nutrition journal" 

Remember, Eat Well & Be FIT!

What you put in, you pour out!

Just like you cannot expect to stay healthy if you make unhealthy food choices regularly, so too you cannot expect to be fit if you rarely, if ever, exercise. My favorite thing to do is workout in 10 minute bouts because it is doable. I mean don't get me wrong, I love to workout for longer than 10 minutes at a time but a 10 minute bout of high intensity exercise such as climbing steps, jumping rope, indoor cycling, or running, to name a few, keeps my energy up, my mood elevated, and recent studies indicate that it can actually help strengthen your heart. So get off of your buttocks, take a 10 minute power walk or dance around your house either to music or a dance inspired exercise DVD; but please just get up and exercise. The time is right here right now.
