Use These Tips To WIN With Your Health & Fitness GoalsHere at Vision Quest Wellness we enjoy lifting weights, doing "cardio", high intensity training, stretching and we have been doing it for a long time. If you are new to the idea of lifting weights and getting healthy and fit this article might be of interest to you. We want to share a couple of simple ideas to help you achieve your health & fitness goals once and for all. Check it out here. 1. Keep Things Simple As you begin your new health & fitness journey, it is so easy to become overwhelmed. Thinking about which workout program to start, what foods to eat, what time of day to fit in your training can get in the way of your overall goal. Fitness, as well as life in general, it is best kept simple. The best workout program for you to consider starting is the one you will stick to, period. Also, your nutrition should not be rocket science. You know what foods are good for you, real organic fruits and veggies, pastured protein and wild-caught fish are the best choices and certainly, we all know what is junk foods that we must avoid. The biggest determining factor pertaining to your success for your health and fitness is your consistency. Move well, eat well to be well is the motto that we stand by. 2. Set Reasonable Goals The media does a remarkable job of making drastic body transformations seem like an overnight process. We are constantly bombarded with images and television commercials promising that if you buy their equipment or take a certain supplement, you will look identical to the models used to promote these products. Even more comical is the timeframes reported by these advertisements. How many times have you heard, “In just 15 minutes per day, 3 times per week, you will finally have those six-pack abs?” This is all nonsense, as physical changes to your physique do not work this way. Fitness is about the long game. As you begin your journey, it is critical to realize that while you WILL see progress, it doesn’t happen overnight. Therefore, instead of planning on going to the gym 7 days per week and eating nothing but rice and chicken from a Tupperware container, set goals that you can stick to. Read this again. Set goals that you can and will stick to. When I began this health and fitness journey over 25 years ago, I made my goals simple. Do my exercise, drink water and eat as well as I could at that time and over the years the eating part of my journey has been where I have been able to make the biggest improvements for my health, my weight and my fitness over time. Start small, like holding yourself accountable to 3 workouts per week and become an expert in the kitchen learning how to cook 3 recipes that will be your go-to meals and build on this. 3. Develop A Strong “Why” As we have already discussed, health and fitness is about consistency. Remember this, the incredible sense of motivation, inspiration and enthusiasm you feel at the start WILL come and go. If your only goal to work out is to “look better,” there are going to be a lot of days in which that is simply not enough. If you are going to stick to your health and fitness goals this year, and for your lifetime, developing YOUR WHY will be the most important thing you do so that it is strong enough to stick it out when the motivation cools off, the excitement isn’t there and you’d much rather stay in and watch television instead is vital to your succeeding along the way to achieve your goals. Your “WHY” has to be unique to you. Find whatever that is and use it to push through the hard days! For me, my WHY was seeing my mother lie on a hospital bed for 2 days waiting for a full hip replacement. There was that moment when I realized if I didn’t start to make changes in my life, I was going to be my mother in 20 years. You see I was about 100 lbs. and had no energy, had already been diagnosed with 3 autoimmune health issues and if I didn’t make changes my life and health were only going to go downhill. I’ve heard it said that if you know your WHY and the how is simple. What is your WHY and how can we help you achieve your health and fitness goals?
