I trust that everyone had a good holiday and managed to eat healthy - NOT :-)

If you did, great and if you didn't that's ok too. With the start of a new week, its a new opportunity to get back on track. The weather is still cooperating w/us for the time being so you can still get outside and get a nice brisk walk in if the treadmill is not for you so there is no excuse.

2012 will be here next week and I'd love to hear some resolutions, even if they don't relate to fitness.

Have a great week!!!

Well, its been a few days so I hope that everyone didn't take that to mean you stop moving :-)

With the holidays upon us, I know it gets harder and harder to make time to get the workout in, but please remember its even more critical to get it in since you will more then likely be eating and drinking more.

Happy Friday to you and get moving!!!!

Sorry I have been MIA the past few days, with my back injury and trying to find a job I've been so busy and taking a break from the gym. However, tomorrow is a new day and I will be back in full effect first thin in the AM. Hope you'll join me.

Happy Monday and have a great week.....

Listen to you body.

I've been MIA hut I have been faithful to my workout! I have a minor injury so I'm at the doctor now to make sure all is well. It's so important to listen to your body by taking a few days off if necessary or altering the workout. Hopefully I will be cleared to run before the weekend I may go crazy if I can't get my miles in.

Have a good afternoon and keep moving.

Monday, Monday!

Hello and welcome to another week. Good news is, if you're reading this you have been blessed enough to see another day. Bad news is, its holiday season which means eating, drinking and no time to workout.

I challenge you to keep your priorities in order in the next few weeks by making a commitment to eating right top on your to do list. I know its hard, but you can enjoy the holiday season and stay on track even if you have one day off track just get right back on the next day and move forward.

Have a fabulous week and remember, keep moving the weather is still decent enough to hit the road for a walk or run even if its a short one.

Sunday's Are for Relaxing - NOT!

I disagree! Sunday's are great for getting a nice good workout in before starting your busy week. I find that the gym is less crowded so you can get in what you need to and take your time doing it. With that said, after you get through praise and worship, it should be off to the gym you go to get the temple that God gave you right so you can praise Him for many more years to come.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and an wishing you an even greater week ahead.

Better late then never :-)

I had ever intention on checking in earlier since I workout at 7am this morning, did you get your workout in today? We have been blessed yet again with Spring like weather so I hope that you at least got a 10 minute walk in.

Tomorrow is Saturday so for my weekend warriors have a great workout and go hard or go home!

Have a fabulous weekend and we'll talk soon.

More Holidays!

One more day left in the week and the fun begins. So glad the rain has ended and the good weather is back. This morning was a bit chilly and I'm sure if you're anything like me you were tempted to stay in the bed?

Now that the weather is getting colder that's more reason to keep moving so we don't put the extra pounds on this winter. If you're busy with holiday shopping, remember that you're health is more important so you can spend more years on this earth with your family celebrating the holiday. So, today's motivation is good health so we can continue to spend time with the people we love.

Have a great evening my few followers, thanks for listening and I hope you're inspired.

Happy Hump Day

I know the weather is gloomy, but we still need to get moving. I managed to get up and out at 5:30am so I could start my day off right and recommend you do the same.

Remember, consistency is key to good health and a long life.

When your off schedule

Good afternoon, hope everyone had a good day and got some form of exercise in today. My schedule was a bit disrupted today, I was unable to hit the gym this morning. Good news, I was able to get my workout in this afternoon but felt a bit sluggish.

Today's lesson, get the gym and motivation will come even if you're sluggish and end of feeling better afterwards.

Happy Monday!

Good morning, hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.

Today's motivation, you! Make up in your mind that you want to look better, feel better and eat better and make it happen.

New Year's is right around the corner so if you start now the change won't seem so drastic and you will be more successful.

Love Sundays!

Sunday's are my best days, I head to early church service and I'm at the gym by 10am and its never crowded so I can get done whatever I need to. Bigger questions is, why isnt anyone there on Sundays? Unless its for religious reasons, Sunday is the best day for you too to hit the gym and hit is hard.

I hope that everyone enjoyed their day and is ready to hit the gym this coming week. Remember, preparation is the key to consistency. Plan your workout and put it down on paper or at the minimum create one in your mind so you can execute it tomorrow.

Until then....

Be encouraged!

I hope that everyone got out and enjoyed this beautiful December weather we are having. If not, tomorrow will be equally as beautiful so be encourged by today's weather to get out and about tomorrow!

Remember, even a 20 minute walk counts so if that's all the time you have use it. Get moving and stay moving :-)

Happy Friday!

Good morning, rise and grind!

Today is gym etiquette day due to the fact I just witnessed someone have a 10 minute conversation while sitting on a machine that is a no no in the gym world. To top it off she had her towel and water occupying the flat bench so nobody could use that either.

Please be conscience of others who may want to use machines.

Have a blessed weekend :-)

alternative workout

so, today I didnt make it to the gym but that didnt stop me from working out. I got the yoga mat and ankle weights out and did what I call my old school workout which included push ups, squats, lunges and abs.

Just because you cant get to the gym doesnt mean you cant get a good workout in. keep moving, until tomorrow.

Happy Hump Day!

Well, if you're reading this God saw fit to bless you with another day on this earth so don't waste it.

Started my day with pray and scripture and now I'm off to tue gym.

Have a glorious day!

today was a good day, just finished workout number two feeling good. tomorrow is the middle of the week so hopefully I will stay on track. Hope your week is going well and you're staying consistent. Moving = a healthy heart so lets get moving.

Until tomorrow.....

Day Off

I have been working hard these past few week, so I am declaring today a day of rest or trying to anyway. My body needs a break, but my mind wants to hit the road and get a run in. Going to listen to the body, for now anyway.

Hope everyone is having a blessed day.

Didnt post yesterday, but did manage to hit the gym after a morning of shopping. Most people refer to the day after thanksgiving as black Friday. I prefer not to use that reference as a Christian the black Friday I've come to know is when Christ was led to the cross to die for me that's what I'm thankful for.

Hope everyone enjoyed their family and didn't eat too much. Today's a beautiful day so get moving!

Happy thanksgiving!

Well today is traditionally a day to relax and spend time with family and friends. Today I opted to worship first and let God what I'm thankful for and since it was so nice out I hit the road to get some miles in.

Today I ran through my old neighborhood and got to see how some things changed and some things stayed the same. I'm thankful that God keeps me and is currently allowing me find myself through him.

What are you thankful for this year?

Pre-thanksgiving!

The day before thanksgiving don't get so busy you don't get a workout in. I hit the gym at 6am because I knew I had a full day. The day is not over, if you haven't gotten a workout in there is still time. Get moving, even if it's for 20 minutes. Remember, something beats nothing.

Until tomorrow, be blessed!

Preparation!

One way to be consistent is to be prepared for tomorrow's workout, I do this by putting my workout gear at the foot of the bed so its ready when I wake up. Knowing what you're going to accomplish for the week is helpful too so write it down if you must, but at a minimum you should have something in your head and execute it at the gym.

Happy Tuesday and remember to keep moving, its the key to a long life. I'm off to the gym in the rain.

Happy Monday!

I'm a morning workout person, but today I'm getting a late start. I somehow have gotten sidetracked by my laptop and the tv. Good news is that after I finish typing this, I'm dressed and off to the gym, its always best to have a plan before hitting the gym that way you're more likely to have a good workout rather then floating around the gym trying to figured it out.

With that said, today will be Biceps/Abs and an hour of cardio. What on your agenda?

 

Happy Sunday!

Its a beautiful day out, if you're a runner you should hit the road hard and make the best of it.

Today was leg day for me so I hit the gym and the treadmill, boring to say the least so do take advantage of the weather by getting outside if you can. I may head out for round two after half-time. Enjoy your Sunday and hope your team wins!

Today's Motivation!

About an hour and 36 minutes into today's cardio workout! The goal is 2 hours, today's motivator is pandora radio a little over 20 minutes to go then it's abs and a trip to dunkin' for a mint hot chocolate my new favorite.

Have a blessed day and get up and find your motivator!

Today's workout was good, got my cardio on as I look around the gym and see different personalities, smell cologne on some wondering why :-) Working out is sometimes that much harder when the people in your immediate surrounding don't seem motivated and today was one of those days.

Why do you work out and what keeps you motivated?

Faith and Fitness

I am of the Baptist Faith and I attend weekly service and listen to sermons that help me grow spiritually, but as I look around the sanctuary I see that we have people that aren't physically in shape and I believe that physical health is equally as important as spiritual health. I'd like to be on the earth longer if possible so I can continue to worship and grow both spiritually, mentally and physically.

Wondering why "most" churches do not incorporate fitness options for the congregations as well to promote growth in physical arena?

Not promoting my faith, just looking for input and suggestions how this can be incorporated without offending anyone.
