Push through the bad weather

This morning while I was training at the gym I had an interesting conversation with a neighbor of mine. He had told me that because of the weather he has been dragging and that he hasn't been making it downstairs to the gym. A client I trained yesterday evening also had the same concerns.

The season has changed, we are in fall, and will head into winter soon. How do you push through the bad weather and keep up with your fitness regimen? One very simple tool you can use is to find a partner who will make you accountable. Find a friend or loved one whom you know trains regularly at the gym, and buddy up.

Holiday season is right around the corner, which means there will be parties. Your temptation to consume junk food and alcohol will be at a higher level. Most people gain weight during this time, in order to prevent this you need to kick up your training a notch.....not back down. I know when the weather is gloomy it gives you the desire to stay in, say no to this, put on your tennis shoes, call a friend, and get to the gym.....your body will thank you for it!!!

Thank you for reading and no matter what shape and size you are, always love yourself!!!

TIP OF THE DAY:
Stir in, don't dump the watery layer on top of your yogurt. It's actually whey, which contains live and active cultures, calcium, and amino acidis.
