3 Ways to Find Inspiration

As determined as we are to accomplish our goals and get things done, sometimes it feels like our get up and go just got up and went.

Different Ways to Set Your Goals

Happy New Year!

I know I am a few days late, but I have been fighting off a nasty cold.  I am feeling much better, but the sniffles just seem to want to linger on. :)

As a result, my Inspiration Board is not quite ready yet.  However, I'm not going to leave you empty handed today.  Before the big reveal, I wanted to talk about goals in general.

I have also trained (and worked) at a few fitness clubs in my day and I know that choosing a club can often be overwhelming, especially for the new exerciser.

With that in mind, here are some things to think about when you are scoping out the fitness clubs in your area.

My Summer Playlist

#Fitblog Chats alway give me the best inspiration for posts.  Last night we were talking about music and how it can motivate you (or unmotivate you) in your workouts.

PIPES Challenge, Week 5 and Sticking To Your Program

Do you find it difficult to get back into your exercise programs after a few days off (or longer)?

Maybe you were unable to workout because of sickness or injury.

Perhaps you are trying to juggle too many commitments between family and work.

Maybe it has been so long since you have done your program that you are not sure where to begin (or are no longer motivated to do so).
