WHY

Why are you working out?
Why are you reading this?
Why are you pushing play?
Why are you studying P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Pump, etc…, and watching YouTube videos to decide if you even WANT to push play?

You can do all the research and planning you want, but if you haven’t asked yourself the question, “WHY?” and come up with a good answer to that question, you don’t have much chance of lasting when the going gets tough!

Did you decide that enough is enough, and 2012 is the year you make a change? Did your wife / husband make you do this? Did you see the infomercial and get pumped up by the idea of being ripped? Are your buddies doing it? Did your doctor say you have to do something about your health?

We all have reasons for why we decided to do this. That motivation is what gets us started on the journey. During the journey, we may forget the motivation we had at the start, or the journey may become so hard that the motivation we had is no longer enough to keep us going. Often times, our ability to stay the course is directly proportional to how important our reason is for doing it in the first place. If we started working out because we saw the infomercial and got an emotional high, we will quit as soon as we lose that high! But if our doctor told us we will die of an obesity-related disease, we are much more likely to stick to it. Our success is directly tied to the power of our “Why?”.

Do you have a “Why?” that will get you out of bed when you don’t want to get up and workout?
Do you have a “Why?” that will help you resist the temptation to pig out at the end of a long, stressful day?

So…what is your “WHY”? Are you still working towards the primary reason that you started this awesome journey?

If you aren’t, recall the reason, your “WHY” and re-dedicate yourself to your health and fitness NOW! You can’t get back the time that has passed, but you have complete control of the time you have remaining.

Remember people. This isn’t a sprint. It’s a lifestyle change. Setting short goals is critical … like “how ripped can I get in 90 days?”. That’s wonderful. It forces us to push ourselves to the max. But it isn’t over at Day 90 … or at least it shouldn’t be. That should be the launching point for a new trajectory of life. It is hard to get on the right path, but once you are on it, STAY ON IT!! Keep living each day with purpose. Take care of yourself. Take care of others. Make it count gang!

Tips to Smarter Snacking

I recently posted an article about how you can snack smarter. Snacking is important, but not the snacks you might be thinking of… Here is the intro to the article:

Are you a between-meal eater?

Many of us are but are eating the wrong things… The fact is that should be eating between meals. If you only eating 3 meals a day; you aren’t keeping your metabolism going at its optimal rate. However, that doesn’t mean you have to visit the vending machine all day. There are smarter ways to snack throughout the day where you can lower your calories and still fill the hunger gap.

Get Plugged In!

Did you know that there are resources available to you that can help you stay motivated, receive positive feedback and keep yourself accountable? It’s true and if you aren’t taking advantage of them, you might be missing out. Are you having some struggles with nutrition or a particular routine with your workout program and not sure who or where to ask the question? I have several groups setup on Facebook, many are program specific (P90X, P90X2, Insanity, etc…), where a TON of interaction is taking place and you are always welcome to join us.

You aren’t all alone in this, I, along with many others are here to help you! Send me an email (coachchris@yourfitnesspath.com), if you would like more information about these resources and I can direct you on how to get plugged in!

Let’s help others and pay it forward!

How many of you have/know someone that you think would benefit from being a part of this group? We all probably know SOMEONE that may be struggling with health and fitness. If you think you know someone, even if it is just one person, let me know and let’s get them plugged in. A little friendly competition is always beneficial to those involved.

Got a question?

I also wanted to make sure that everyone on my team is aware that I am here for YOU! If you have ANY questions related to health and fitness, don’t hesitate to contact me directly either on Facebook or via email (coachchris@yourfitnesspath.com). I am always willing to provide feedback and suggestions on ways that you can get the results that you are after.

And 2 favors that I ask:

1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow our team!

2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.yourfitnesspath.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out.

Thank you! I really appreciate it!
