Strategies for success in your fitness program!
When I was in Orlando last week I heard some great and inspirational speakers. The principles that they presented were geared towards success in business, however, these same principles apply to our everyday lives. I think these little nuggets might give you some encouragement for your fitness program.
Get a New Perspective
Realize that there are 2 main reasons people fail. Number one, the thoughts that occupy your mind and
number 2, the people you associate with. Decide to change your mindset, think about things that you are going to accomplish, not the ones you have failed to accomplish. Realize it is ok to fail sometimes, just charge ahead afterwards.
Find your Why?
Determine why you want to get into shape, why you want to lose weight or why you want to _________________. Write down why this is important to you and what it will mean to you once you have accomplished it. Get specific, this is going to help direct you in the coming weeks and months.
Be a Planner
This is a big one, I really struggle here myself. Block your time, plan your meals, plan your week, plan your days. Work from lists, prioritize and do those things first. Managing your schedule this way will help you stick to better eating habits and will ensure that you get your exercise done. Also, set deadlines and meet them!
Crush it, Kill it & Dominate!
Once you have established your why take action with complete and utter focus. Be specific in the goals that you set and tie them to your why. Establish a mindset that you will reach your destination no matter what. No matter what your friends say, no matter what the scale says….NO MATTER WHAT! Nothing can stop you!
Have No Regrets!
Don’t miss out on opportunities because of fear or doubt. Don’t look back 1 year from now and regret that you wanted to achieve something but didn’t believe it is possible. Take massive action today and you can change the world!
Hope this gets you as excited and charged up as it does me! See you soon and let me know what you think of this post by leaving a comment.
Boot Camp is like having a personal trainer, but a lot less expensive. Monty presents so much material in a relatively short period of time, in a very enjoyable atmosphere. For many of us, who like to workout, Monty showed us the way to make our workouts more effective by taking it a lot more seriously. I have been participating in Monty’s boot camp since January of 2008 and it has truly changed the way I feel about myself. I have lost weight, body fat (I am now ONLY 16.5%) and overall feel healthier!
Over the last year and a-half my routine of exercising at least 3 times a week was interrupted by time I needed to devote to my aging parents. Mom (92) fell and broke her hip last Sept. and Dad died 2 weeks later. So I slowly found myself unable to participate in my step workout that I loved, started eating on the run and finally started seeing the lbs slowly inching up. I knew I had to do something but did not want to start a diet that I knew I could not stay with.....too many other things to keep up with. I talked with a co-worker that looked terrific and asked her what she was doing to have lost so much weight. She indicated that she was on "Weight Watchers" but she felt the real reason she was loosing was the "Boot Camp" she was going to.....I wondered how she was doing that since I knew she had had knee surgery.....it sounded interesting so I looked on line and found "Monty's Boot Camp"......I tried it for week.....and it was such fun and challenging and in close proximity to my Mom's assisted living facility making it convenient to swing by after working out.....my goal was to loose 20 lbs.......well it's been 3 months and I have lost 18 lbs, and dropped 2 sizes (I did not expect that!).....I am eating smart but not dieting and really eat what I want on week-ends. I love the people, workouts (which are different each day), facility and the way my body is responding to the workouts. I have really learned how important it is to be strong as you grow older watching my mom struggle to gain upper and core body strength just to walk with a walker. I'm so glad I gave this new way of keeping fit a chance.....my metabolism needed a bump and it sure got one!....I look forward to each workout and consider it the best part of my day. Boot Camp sounds scary but it's fun and Monty is such an encourager regardless of your size, goals or personality..... he makes the workout work for you. Try it you'll like it!

Thanks for the encouraging words, Monty. Focus is so important and so hard to lose when interruptions come along. It helps to hear someone else say it. Thanks for all you do to help us get fit!
