Use a daily training planner
|
|
General/Other
"You have important commitments scheduled into your planner, right? Volunteer work, doctor appointments, children's activities, etc. Where's EXERCISE??? It's as important a commitment (if not more) than your other activities. Quick tip: mark "EXERCISE" in your planner with a bright colored marker, so it stands out as a reminder to get your butt in gear."

Variety on Two Wheels
|
|
General/Other
"Try including cycling in your normal cardio workout routines. It's a good idea to include different forms of cardio exercise for variety and done with the proper form and adjustments, cycling has limited impact on your joints and knees and can give your butt and legs a great workout!"

Take Your Time
|
|
Strength Training
"When it comes to weight training and fitness, slow and steady wins the race! When your body is ready, increase the intensity of your workout in small amounts. This will provide the challenge necessary for improvements without causing injury. Too much too soon can over stress the body, limit your progress and increase your risk of injury."

Don't Get Caught Up In the Quick Fix
|
|
General/Other
"There is no such thing as a quick fix and you're fooling yourself if you think there is. Good things come to those who wait and any health and fitness goals are going to take effort and commitment on your part."

Stretching is Highly Recommended...
|
|
General/Other
"either before or after your workout but can really be done at any time. Corrective stretching is done before exercise but after a warm-up to lengthen chronically short muscles and help your body remain aligned properly. Relaxation stretching is done after exercise to lengthen muscles and help them return to their pre-workout length. Both types are good, should be done regularly when muscles are warm and should feel comfortable and painless."

Cooling down should be part of every workout routine
|
|
General/Other
"A cool down helps your body recover from the stress of exercise and helps the circulatory system return to a resting state. Not cooling down can lead to dizziness and fainting... not a good idea with sharp metal objects typically found in gyms! A typical cool down can be light aerobic exercise at a slow rate or stretching."

Plan Ahead

|
Diet and Nutrition
"The next time that you plan a night out, take your time when choosing the restaurant. Steer clear of buffet style restaurants that encourage overeating or fast food restaurants that don’t offer healthy choices. Pick a restaurant that caters to your healthy side."

Fitness Support
|
|
General/Other
"When you are trying to get more fit, it is very important to have family and friends supporting you along the way. This means that they need to respect your fitness and health goals and not tempt you into the wrong food choices or try and derail you from your fitness training plan. Remind them how important this is to you and you need their support and encouragement and who knows, they may end of training right along side you."

Don't Let Time Drag you Down
|
|
General/Other
"Instead of eating a huge lunch, put together something light and easy and go for a walk during your work lunch break. You can either sip on a nutritious protein drink or snack on high quality fruits while burning calories on your lunch time walk. Remember that small changes make big differences in your life over the long haul."
