10 TIPS FOR PHENOMENAL FITNESS RESULTS
Krista Barker, Professional Trainer
We all start out with good intentions. I’ll work out 5 times per week for at least an hour and eat great every day. Sounds great but then life gets in the way. I want to offer you a few tips that will help you stay consistent in your workouts and eating.
TIP 1: Set your gym clothes, bag, and work clothes out the night before.
This way you aren’t looking for a missing shoe or matching top as you head out the door. Whether you go to the gym first thing in the morning or after work, you have everything together.
TIP 2: Make your workout time an appointment.
Consider this time to be of great importance. After all, it is your health we are talking about. When you have to schedule a doctor’s appointment, meetings, etc. do not give up your workout to do such. It’s your time.
TIP3: Hire a trainer or get a workout partner.
You need accountability. Your trainer or partner will hold you accountable for showing up. You are more likely to show up if you know someone is waiting for you. (If you don’t then you need to realize life is not about you and stop being inconsiderate.) You will also get better results in your routine because there is someone there to push you.
TIP 4: Prepare a weekly menu for you and your family.
If you know what you are going to eat for the day then you are less likely to grab fast food on your way home. You look at the menu the night before and set out what needs to be defrosted. No guessing.
TIP 5: Always have snacks with you.
It never fails that you will be caught in a meeting that runs long or experience a longer wait than expected at the doctor’s office. Carry with you snacks that you can easily carry in a bag or purse. You will have no need to go to the chip or candy machine to get your blood sugar level up.
TIP 6: Drink plenty of water.
Drinking plenty of water will help keep your energy level up throughout the day. It also makes you feel fuller, therefore, keeping you from eating as much.
TIP 7: Log your results.
Before starting any program take a before picture along with various measurements across the body. After 6 weeks redo the pictures and measurements and view the results. This will help you realize where your best improvements were and motivate you to keep on your program.
TIP 8: Do not talk about your program to those who do not encourage you.
All they will do is say something negative to keep you doubting you can do it. I find in my training there is sometimes a spouse that will eye everything my client is doing just to “catch” them failing. Well, if you do not share your goals with them then they won’t know what “failing” is to you. It’s a tough discipline but there are plenty of people out there that would love to see you succeed.
TIP 9: Change your routine every few weeks.
Your muscles adapt very fast to a certain style of workout. In order to “fool” the muscle you must change what you are doing. It can be a similar routine. For example you might change the reps or go with heavier weight. It takes just a subtle change to get the muscles performing at their best which produces greater results.
TIPS 10: Buy fitness magazines to keep your workouts fresh.
There are several fitness magazines on the market that are filled with pages of workout routines and pictures to show exactly how to do them. Several of them are made specifically for women. Utilize the information in these.
These ten tips will help you be consistent in your workouts which will lead to greater results. They are simple yet extremely effective. Start today and watch how fast your body will change positively.
