Fitness is fun if you have the right mindset and the right people around you. Do not work out alone all the time!
Fitness is a mind and body connection. It all starts in your mind- DISCIPLINE – that’s the most important component. Keep your mind strong, think positive thoughts when it comes to your body and it will react and you will absolutely start reaching your goals. The body does not react to negative thoughts. It is much smarter than you think. Stop making excuses right now and get to work on your fitness. Be sure to keep a fresh mindset at all times. Stress will literally kill you; figure out the problem and FIX IT! Internal strength, external gentleness are key.
EAT.SLEEP.EXERCISE– these are the three most important medicines, for the mind and body. Eat 6 meals per day-every two-three hours. Eat amazing foods like broccoli, blueberries, spinach, tomatoes etc.. Sleep at least 7-8 hours per night with a 12 oz. of water by your bedside. Break a SWEAT. Exercise at least 4-5 hours per week. This will lead to increased heart rate and perspiration. Woohoo! Excellent choices are sprinting or lifting something heavy. Be careful, exercise has side effects: muscle growth, muscle tone, bone gain and feeling of overall confidence. There should be no excuses; you can lose everything around you: job, relationships, and materialistic things like Gucci sandals, that classy dress you love, your luxury car but you’ll always have your body- so treat it like royalty more than ANYTHING around you. Motivation and Inspiration are key, to your success. Fitness is fun if you have the right mindset and the right people around you. Do not work out alone all the time. Yes, I know, you want to zone out to music/favorite show etc… but you need MOTIVATION. Find a fitness buddy and rock out hard. I bet you will work out harder and get better results. You don’t believe me? DO IT FOR A MONTH and get back to me. Good luck fitness friends and keep your mind sharp. — Amid Archibald,
