21 Tips for 21 Days

Here's 21 tips to help you stay motivated towards your
fitness goals:

1. Taste Success. Do this by visualizing first in your
minds' eye. See, feel, touch it as if it's true. Your dream
body come true already present. Follow up with actions
steps to get there.

2. Challenge Yourself. I'm talking about workout challenge.
Push your self when you do train. Most people spin their
wheels and kill time in the gym. Don't be that person.
Train with a purpose. Maintain a challenging intensity.

3. Step Up Accountability. You can work with a trainer or
join a fitness group class. Staying consistent is much
easier with a buddy who takes their health seriously. Plus
it takes the temptation to take days off.

4. Plate Smaller. You want to effortlessly lose weight?
Then use smaller plates. You'll automatically have less
space to fill up and reduce your calorie intake.

5. Don't drink your calories and opt for water instead. Add
lime for flavor.

6. Eat every 3 to 3 and a half hours to maintain a steady
metabolism by eating a snack or meal.

7. Perform High Intensity Interval Training during your
workout. Yes, this is going to require high bursts of
energy instead of a consistent state but you'll burn more
calories in less time.

8. Eat unprocessed, high fiber, low fat meals and snacks.

9. Say "Hey, I need help" to a fitness professional.
Seriously, don't be afraid to ask for help.

10. Do you want success? Will-power doesn't work. What
works is Want-it-power. Do you want it bad enough?

11. Watch your fat intake. Fat contains almost twice the
calorie density than protein or carbohydrates.

12. Read labels. Watch out for packages that say 'health
food' on the front part. Be proactive on your nutritional
intake. Make this a habit.

13. Hire a Trainer or find a workout partner that is in
better shape than you. This can help when you need
inspiration.

14. Avoid eating foods that are high in fat and
carbohydrates.

15. Avoid negative self talk. Enough said.

16. Are you ready for a challenge? What happens when you
follow the same routine? That's right, most hit a plateau.

You'll want to increase intensity, change your reps,
weights or get a program overhaul. Break through and get
results.
