Exercise Motivation Tips

Stay on Track and Reach Your Goals
by Bob Myhal, author of The Ultimate Muscle Mass
Bodybuilding Program

Need some motivation to exercise? Having trouble
sticking with your fitness program?

It never fails: about a month into a health and
fitness program, most people begin to lose motivation to exercise, become less focused, and ultimately revert to old habits.

In many cases this means they stop exercising and begin to fall back into the trap of eating an unhealthy diet. Needless to say, this lull in
motivation has to be overcome if you’re to achieve your long-term fitness goals.

The Good News: The longer you are able to stick with your exercise program, the more likely you are to make the type of permanent lifestyle changes that lead to lasting success!

So if you’re stuck in a bit of a rut, if you feel your motivation slipping, here are a few quick ways to refocus your efforts and get back on track.

1. Get Out Your Calendar! We make all kinds of
appointments in our daily lives and we keep them. Make an appointment with yourself for your own health and fitness—and stick to it!

Write down which days you are going to exercise and block out the target time to do it. It is extremely important that you take the time to actually writing this down, especially if you’re prone to procrastination.

2. Make Time. The #1 excuse people give for not
sticking to their programs is that they simply can’t find the time. Well, let me make this as clear as I can: don’t bother looking for the time to train and plan your nutrition and supplement programs—it’s not there.

You need to make time for these priorities in your life. Enough said.Protein shakes and protein bars make nutrition easy and delicious!

3. Plan Your Nutrition. The key to eating a healthy diet is planning. When you’re hungry and there’s no healthy food nearby, you’ll eat what you can get . . . and usually what you can get is fast food that isn’t very good for you. Have a well-focused plan for keeping yourself nourished throughout the day. Bring healthy snacks wherever you go, be it work, school, or
wherever. Grab a creamy Protein Shake or delicious Protein Bar to make eating wisely even easier.

4. Monitor Your Progress. Set concrete goals and find an objective way to monitor your progress. Personally,I suggest monitoring your body fat level . . . it’s a much better indication of overall health and fitness then how much you weigh. Get a fat caliper and track your progress over time. This is a great way to keep
your motivation high and to make sure you’re heading in the right direction. I recommend the Digital Body Fat Caliper which I’ve found to be both accurate and very convenient to use.

5 Fat Fighting Tips

by Bob Myhal author of the Ultimate Muscle Mass
Training Program

1. Do not eat poor quality carbohydrates. Poor quality carbohydrates are those that contain sugar or are highly processed. These would include most breakfast cereals, breads, snack foods, candies, and even fruits and juices. Eating these foods, especially before
bedtime, will likely result in increased fat deposit and will prevent your body from maintaining a successful fat-burning mode.

2. Increase your muscle mass! The more lean muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn even at rest. Muscle is extremely active metabolically. Do some resistance training, add some muscle, and crank
up that metabolism. Check out the Ultimate Muscle Program here.

3. Never let yourself get too hungry, or too stuffed.It really is all about moderation. Time your meals so that you eat before you are starving . . . doing this one simple thing will cause you to almost always eat less. When you do eat, stop when your satisfied not
when you are so stuffed you cannot even get down
another bite.

4. Double up on your cardio training. From time to time it may be beneficial to the fat-burning process for you to split your cardio training into two short sessions rather than one longer one. Studies suggest that people who do 30 minutes of morning cardio and then 30 minutes of evening cardio lose more fat than those doing just one 60 minute session.

5. Eat more high fiber foods. Most of us do not get enough fiber in our daily diets, and that’s just a shame. Fiber not only promotes overall general health, but also can significantly aid in your fat-burning efforts. Leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds are ideal sources of fiber.

I don't think you should use the word "phat" anymore. I mean d@mn, I was using that word back in my high school days - it has to be old by now.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
