• People Who Don't Workout. They either don't care, or don't know what to do
• People who have a decent workout schedule, and feel better and look better
• People who stick to their regimen like it's their religion

The first one....well, sometimes people don't care about it, but there are a huge amount of people who just don't know what to do. To them I say, Go for GOOD. Make small changes. Find out what exercise, foods, and cardio activities fit you, and how often. Come in and I can help get you on the right track!

The third being in great shape. You work on each muscle. You challenge yourself at every workout. If you missed a workout you feel like someone took away an appendage! Just make sure you're doing all the things you should. Work all your body parts with weight, do your cardio and keep that heart healthy and your heart rate down, and make sure you have a good diet to fit your workouts. I know from experience, sometimes you can go too far with cardio without resistance training, or too much resistance training without cardio, and still have a poor diet. Do all 3, you're results will be the best you've ever had. Keep it going.

The second one, well, I actually like the GOOD Results category. You added fitness to your life, but you didn't make it your life, but you really know the importance of fitness, you've experienced how it makes you feel, and it's helped keep down your weight or helped you lose decent weight. It's a part of your life, and you can bump up to GREAT Results by changing a few things about your schedule, workouts and diet.

There's a few problems with GOOD Results. Sometimes your workout schedule takes a backseat unlike someone who goes for GREAT results, as its a big part of their life. Even though you have a certain level of dedication, other things can stop you.

A week goes by, "God, I feel terrible, I have to go workout", two weeks goes by, "I'm too busy, I just can't get there, I don't have the energy, I'll start again NEXT Week!", and then, "I can't believe I let it go this long, has it really been two months?".

It's the back and forth that kills us. Then it's time to start again. As the side note on this page says, It takes 30 consecutive days to create a new habit. The hard part is doing that first few days. Or even getting there at all.

But look at all the work you did before! You can't just let that go! How hard did you work for it? I know from experience. I go up, I go down. Every time I'd stop, I'd have to start again and that yo-yo affect can make you want to give up! DO NOT GIVE UP!

All that work you did before? Well, It's still there. Muscle has memory. Your body remembers that state if you've done it long enough to put on lean tissue and lose some weight and get stronger, or faster. It's there...you just need to start again and you'll see the results are quicker but don't wait too long. The further away you get from your body's state where it was in good shape and leaner, the harder it is.

You need a good running start. You need to get back to it. Start slowly. 30 minute workouts, NOT killing yourself. Do it 2 or 3 times a week (3 preferably). Go for a 15 - 20 min walk or WOG (walking / Jogging) on your non workout days. Keep it going.

What I do for clients is bring them back in for 1 day a week and sign them up for a membership (memberships are free with 2 or more sessions a week) when they say they have no time or they don't want to make a huge commitment.

They feel that first workout throughout their body, and suddenly I see them the next day doing cardio, they'll come in and hit a few weights from time to time. I'll realize they're here a few times a week at the same time each day. See, it was there, the time was there, the priority just needed to be changed. And in a few short weeks, they're back better than ever!

Don't ever give up. If you've taken time off, you can get back faster than you think! It's just taking that first day. Whether its signing up here, going to a gym, or doing it at home, just start. It sounds sort of weird that we have to schedule fitness in as if we'd fall apart without doing that, but it's true. When would you do it if you didn't schedule some time to do it? That's why I've seen such good results with clients. They do the work, they get in here, and I give them guidance. But the credit goes all to them. They work hard...push me to push them sometimes, they make it for each appointment, and the same thing is said each time someone comes back after a break, "I don't know what I was thinking, I forgot how good this feels".

Feel good, and JUST DO IT (sorry Nike!) There are NO EXCUSES! There are JUST RESULTS! I'll do everything I can to help you. Here are a few ways....

• 30 minute express fitness sessions
• 60 minute sessions
• 4 - 60 min sessions a month and add a membership
• 30 min phone sessions (only for past clients)
• Memberships

I'll do what I can for you, but you have to make the first move! The holidays are just a few short months away....will you beat them, or let them beat you! Where will you be by Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years?

In the best shape ever? Or in the worst shape ever? The choice is yours.
