2012 is in full swing now, and everything is supposedly \u2018back-to-normal\u2019 \u2013 yeah right.\u00a0 With all the back-to-routine adjustments, I am sure one of your resolutions<\/a> was to get your body and mind in shape, but have you nonetheless? Well, I am here drive you in the right direction!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>SET A GOAL:\u00a0 AND the reason\u2019s for doing what you are doing. Very important. Write down a list of the things that you would like to achieve, and the reason for each goal. More important \u2013 Let\u2019s not forget what all the hard work is for! This reasoning behind your goals will most certainly give you enough incentive toward reaching your ultimate goal. You could most likely take on the Rocky<\/a> approach. Be like Rocky \u2013 run up those stairs, hear the music blaring<\/a> in the air and pump your fists! Also \u2013 just watch it and you\u2019ll understand!!!<\/p>\n

GET YOUR MIND WORKING<\/a>: SO clich\u00e9 but\u2026 the mind really is powerful, and you need to train your brain to give it the willpower it needs to get your body to do anything out of the norm. Daily affirmations such as \u2018I am an unstoppable force to be reckoned with\u2019 is the way to go. You simply have to decide that this is what you want and take one step at a time… have you seen the movie Limitless <\/a>yet? I am sure you could train your brain to be GREAT without the use of a pill \u2013 we don\u2019t really live in the Matrix<\/a> do we?<\/p>\n

EXERCISE REGIME<\/a>: The next step is to do your research and actively put together an exercise plan. \"\"<\/a>Just don\u2019t forget that everyone is different. Your limitations may be someone else\u2019s strong point. So please don\u2019t injure yourself over someone else\u2019s exercise plan in the first week, giving yourself a reason to quit early from possible permanent damages! In that case,\u00a0 a physician before-hand<\/em> may be a good idea. This is where every movie about the fat kid, who you haven\u2019t seen in years turns out with the perfect 6-pack is applicable. Think \u201cJust Friends<\/a>\u201d starring Ryan Reynolds and be the guy who shows up everywhere looking AMAZING!
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking – if walking is the only thing you know how to do – you\u2019re on the right track. Think, The Proclaimers<\/a>\u2019 \u201cI would walk 500 miles\u201d and march or walk to the beat of those drums or guitar riff. Brisk walking does the world of good. Once you have reached a level where you are starting to feel a gain in stamina & strength \u2013 either walk for a longer period of time or add on an extra day or two in a week, or maybe even start jogging. Otherwise going to gym is a GREAT way of toning, honing, stretching and shaping<\/a>. There are a great deal of equipment, classes and personal trainers that will help you get into the best shape possible. If the gym is not for you, and group classes is not for you, check out popular work-out DVD\u2019s like Yoga<\/a>, Tae-Bo<\/a> or Zumba<\/a> and start your own fitness regime at home. \u00a0.<\/p>\n

And lastly, don\u2019t let your stomach be a waste basket \u2013your body always keeps an accurate journal regardless of what you write down.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Even if you have a friend who is able to eat anything he\/she wants without gaining weight\u00a0 and it makes you go green with envy \u2013 don\u2019t fret, his\/her body might look great on the outside but very harmful things could be happening on the inside. So, get to know your OWN body, do a LITTLE research and get to know how things work but establish an eating plan<\/a> of your own – A diet recommended for some (famous or not), may not always work for you.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t get easier, but you sure as hell get stronger in the process, and the stronger you are, the better you feel! Say \u2018no, thanks\u2019 to that second helping. If there is dessert, have a spoonful of someone else\u2019s \u2013 do not deprive yourself of those small things in life, you\u2019re only human after all…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
