Well we're a week into the new year and I have a progress report for my "Get Fit" goal. So far so good. Here are two "How To" tips for getting fit.
1. Music - I'm more of an awesome bass line and thumpin' bass kick type of girl. So anything upbeat that incorporates those two elements is good for me. Make a playlist for your ipod or mp3 player, crank up the music and move that booty!
If you don't have an ipod or mp3 player reallocate your morning SBUX money to "get a mp3 player fund" iPod shuffles are $75. I'm starting off my day with a run in the morning and it is brrrrrrrr freezing, but as soon as the tunes start cranking my body starts movin' and all is good...until my leg starts cramping and I swear it's going tighten to the point of falling right off. Hopefully your playlist is dripping w/ awesomeness and you sweat right through the pain and get that awesome body you hope for.
2. Distractions - if you're working out at home try and carve out a time where you can work out without distractions. Prime example - I'm trying to workout with a Pilates video from Netflix in the great room, the family is in the same area doing a variety of things. I swear there were 3 other Pilates fitness experts in the room watching my every move. At one point I got a "you're leg's not straight" and "yeah, that doesn't look like what they're doing in the video" I will be the judge of that thank you very much! I guess I can think of the comments as positive criticism, but I spent 1/2 the evening annoyed at the comments. I think I'll take my sisters advice and setup my home gym in the garage. Take that distractions! *fist pump* Likewise if you're at the gym, keep in mind you're there to workout not to hook up. Now if you went to the gym with the intent on making "land a man/woman/both" lol resolution happen then by all means go right ahead, but if that's not what you set out to do then friggin wake up and smell the sweat juices pouring off of strangers bodies! The gym is for working out, getting fit and getting that sweet @$$ body you wanted at the beginning of the year. I'm just saying...
3. McD's, Jack'n'box, Taco Bell or any other fast food temple is not conducive to getting fit and ending up w/ the rock hard abs you want. All you'll end up with is a lumpy, saggy, dimple-ridden belly of ugliness. BEWARE! These places are poison. Don't be a loser.
Alright folks. That's all for now. More to come.
