Fit Initiative Fail Proof Motivation

"If I don't do it, it won't get done." I'm sure you've heard or felt this some time in your life. When it comes to your personal health, fitness and mental sanity, you must take charge. There is no personal trainer who can physically get fit for you. They can prescribe the safest, most effective trend-setting, muscle-shaping exercises, but the results will be a big fat zero if you don't get motivated and stay motivated to move your body!

The bottom line is this: YOU CAN'T BE FIT UNTIL YOU TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO GET FIT

I know you can do it. You can get fit. People just like you are changing their health every day, minute by minute. They are choosing better, more nutritious foods. They are drinking less caffeine, eating less sugar, eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. They are moving more and feeling incredible.

"You get what you earn" That's where the power lies. The power lies in the achievement of your fitness and health goals. Jump in today, get involved in your personal fitness evolution by taking charge, taking a step.

If you are unfit then start with a core strengthening video. A strong core is vital to your health. My Ab Lab Core strength Video is creating incredible results for members worldwide. It is designed with a variation of techniques and methods of training including the popular pilates type ideas.

TAKE INITIATIVE
DO SOMETHING TODAY

Get Up!
Stand up,
Walk around,
Walk a mile,
Dance
Clean house…
Get started - NOW

Starting today, become enterprising in your workout regieme. I don't care what you do, just start moving! Stand up and walk up the stairs, head out for a walk around the parking lot. Remember, Do the thing and you will have the energy to do the thing.

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

Do you Love to Dance!

All movement is dance movement. Dance movement is physical motion with direction, purpose and rhythm. Even walking is dancing. Putting one foot in front of the other and swinging the arms freely in opposition requires rhythm, coordination and balance. This is why dance posture and dance principles are crucial when developing a physique that is structurally beautiful in design and gracefully artistic when in motion.

Dance movement makes the body appear more statuesque, balanced and centered. It can reduce the effect that gravity has on the body. Dance Movement also teaches you how to move and work your body in an anatomically correct fashion. This helps prevents accidents due to loss of balance or flexibility or coordination. An example of an accident could be tripping and falling over an object that could be as small as your own shoe lace.

I have put together two exciting Dance Training Videos for you that are Fun, High Energy and combine the freedom and innovation of funk with the disciplines of traditional dance technique, jazz, ballet, modern dance, hip hop and ethnic dance. All styles are combined to create a unique and exhilarating fitness experience.

If you love Dance Fitness, recreation or performance these programs are for you!

Weekly Fit Tip

Listen to Your Body, Experiment, and Customize to You

As with exercise, you should continually experiment to discover what works best for you. Creating the right diet plan for you should be a process of trial and error – and ongoing experimentation with portion sizes, food combinations, eating at different times of the day, etc. This will take time and practice on your part. Prepare to be flexible and willing to learn from and improve on your mistakes. Every time you experiment with an open mind, you have an excellent opportunity to learn and improve. Take advantage of this!

Many diet plans tell you what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat it. This does not teach you how to attend to your own cravings, desires, or hunger. This teaches you nothing about living and feeling healthier and happier. Everyone has different strengths, weaknesses, and eating patterns. You will only become successful when you learn to respond to your own feelings and not to what someone else says is right for you. It is critical that you learn how to be aware of and attend to both feelings of hunger and fullness, and learn what will satisfy you both physically and psychologically.

Your own body, not someone else's routine, is the very best guide for how much you need to eat. Try to get in the habit of tuning in to your internal cues of hunger, and not just eating the amount of food you think you should, or tuning in to external cues like the sight or smell of food. It's okay to eat any amount of food to feel both physically and psychologically satisfied. But you must learn to stop when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

This is why I created the Quick Start Energy Program which is the perfect basis to start your personalized program from. Using the tools in my program you will be able to customize the perfect program for your body and achieve the goals your set for yourself with ease!

Hi Victoria,

I am 56 years old and have exercised since high school on and off while I raised 4 children. I figured out going into menopause that I had to exercise regulary. However I have fought 15 pounds forever. I am so excited over your book Body Revival. It is the inspiration that I need to get my body fit for life. I am losing weight and changing my body, finally I think I really get it. It is God's temple, I knew that but as you say it is not what you know, it is what you do. What a blessing you are! I am so grateful that God has given you the ability to communicate His message about a healthy and fit body. Keep up the good work. I will keep you posted. I have been doing Power Shaping ll and Step with Style. They are great workouts.

M. Brown
