How Can I stick to my exercise program?


I have a great idea to help you stick with your new workout program. Get a calendar, any kind will do and hang it in a prominent place at home or your workplace. It has to be where you and others will see it all the time.

Every day that you workout, mark a huge coloured X right across that day. Don't break the X chain. Do something every day. Of course you know that an intense workout is best , but mark any training that you do. Now don't cheat. It has to be at least 15 solid minutes-so a walk (or run) a FitterFaster Bootcamp or home workout or any other workout that gets you huffing and puffing and sweating.

You can find 15 minutes in your day you know. I went out last night on the veranda, after putting tea in the oven, and did a quick circuit of 100 skips with a rope and 10 burpees. I repeated it till tea was cooked. What about getting out of bed 15-20 minutes earlier?? What about as soon as you get home from work, before you start anything else. How about while the kids do their training after school. What about while you watch TV of an evening. Almost all the workouts on www.fitterfasteronline.com can be done in front of the TV.

Have a go at the calendar X chain. You will be surprised how you will not want to break the chain after you get going. You will just need to nick out and do a quick workout before bed if you missed it today. Working out every day, even briefly will help keep your metabolism boosted all the time. Especially if you go hard. Give it a try and let me know how you go.

And don't forget to come to Bootcamp on New Years Day at 5pm. Come and give it a go and see what everyone is talking about. Start off the New Year on a high note and make this the one where you really do get lean and fit for good. Make this the year of no excuses. My new motto is NO EXCUSES-JUST RESULTS
