Fitness Motivators...Challenge Yourself
So, you are
at this page, because we mentioned in class some
benefits and some tips that you should start
using today! Did you already forget them?
If so, I have listed the links and information
here.
Challenge
yourself... starting right now! Take
the next seven or eight weeks - the entire
session that you are sign up for and work real
hard on what I have written below:
First, you
are already on the correct path, because you
signed up for your Fitness Motivators class and
decided to make a change in your health and
fitness! Congratulations! Next, we need to make
sure you stay on the right path...One more
thing... Make sure to check with your doctor
before beginning this or any exercise programs.
-
Attend
your class (or classes) every week. Make
sure to give it 110% every time! When you
walk into the classroom, put everything
outside of your mind and focus on....YOU!
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and KNOW that you
CAN DO IT!
-
You need
to have a total of FIVE days where you are
active! Count your class (or classes) and
add on a walking program... anything to get
you moving! Stay active for at least 30
minutes straight! Even if you are cleaning
your house, turn up the music and dance your
way around the house while cleaning! Just
stay active for at least 30 minutes straight!
-
You need
to add some strength training to your daily
workouts. If you cannot make it to one of
our classes that has strength training
(Ultimate Fitness, Z-Box, Boot camp to name
a few), while watching TV, do a few sets of
weights... etc... get creative!
-
Watch
what you eat! Don't worry about dieting,
just concentrate on what you put into your
mouth! Is it good for you? If you do splurge
a little (which is okay once in a while),
can you keep it to one palm-size
serving? Just eat in smaller
portions!
-
For the
next 7 or 8 weeks DO NOT.... I repeat.... DO
NOT WEAR STRETCH PANTS or any type of pants
with an elastic waistband! ONLY wear these
type of pants to workout in or sleep in. I
promise... your body will get used to
wearing these types of pants that you will
not realize that your body may be "growing"
into them!
-
Make sure
you are aware of how long you have been
sitting (Think about it... How long have
you been browsing on the internet? Uhhhh ha!
Get your butt moving and get your cardio in
now! If you are at work...shame on you...
hehehe... Walk away from this computer and
stretch!)
-
You
really need to know your Resting Heart Rate
(RHR).
Click here for the Instructions.
-
Once you
know your RHR, you should know your Target
Heart Rate (THR). Please
click here for the Instructions. There
is a chart to download at this link too. We
want you to stay within your zone - 60% -to
80%. It all depends on your level of
activity, fitness, and health.
