How To Get Fit and Firm in Four Weeks

How To Get Fit and Firm in Four Weeks
February has always been a huge month for me. Many of
those who joined other facilities to get themselves in
shape are trickling into my world. They realize that
full-service gyms have over booked their facilities due to
the wave of new members from New Year. This often results
in a gym that is too crowded to get a good workout and
clients being put on cookie cutter programs. Some have
overlooked the need for saunas, steam rooms, and juice bars.

The people who have made serious commitments to themselves
to get in shape this year come to me. The others will stay
a little longer at the big box gyms. They will cut
articles out of magazines and try different workouts. They
will follow blindly and therefore they will probably not
get the best results.

Some will do well and succeed despite it all because they
are at least increasing their activity and others will not.

For those who make the commitment and come to me, one of
the first things I do is get them on a good plan. A plan
not unlike the one I will show you today.

Planning and simplicity are really the tools I have given
all my clients over the years.

Making it challenging and fun has been a huge part of it
too.

Here are the three simple steps you need to take right now.

First: Create your own Get Fit Tool Kit and follow this
Simple Proven Easy to Follow Plan to be Fit and Firm in
Four Weeks.

Your kit should contain:

- A Calendar for the current month

- A blank Food Log: Divide a sheet of paper into seven
columns, one for each day of the week. Next, make rows for
each of the following: breakfast, morning snack, lunch,
afternoon snack, dinner and evening snack.

- And a Grocery List: Add foods to this list that will
support you in achieving your fitness goals. Things to
include are fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean
proteins, yogurt, cereals, healthy snack foods and low
fat/low sugar condiments or seasonings.

Second: Take out your calendar (RIGHT NOW) and do the
following:

- Schedule one day a week to go food shopping and to cook.

- Choose 5 workout days: 3 strength and 2 cardio. Put
these days in your blackberry or on the wall and make sure
you CANNOT change them.

Third: Pick any smart and proven nutritional plan to follow
for four weeks:

Some people like South Beach, others like Atkins, others
like Weight Watchers and some will just make better choices
over the next four weeks.

The calendar will keep you focused. Now that you have
placed these workouts and shopping days in your planner,
they are immovable. You will plan around them from now on.
There will be no skipping because of a lunch meeting if
you see a potential conflict. You already have a meeting
scheduled — a meeting with yourself. Or, consider it
a meeting with me at the gym.

Go to the grocery store one day a week. Use the grocery
list I just gave you with the food plan you like. My
grocery list is pretty clean. So if you are choosing
things that are not on the list, they probably should not
be going in your mouth.

Finally, come home and cook and prepare your meals for the
whole week. Use the food log to help you figure out which
days you will choose which meal plans. If you cook
everything ahead of time, or if you prepare the ingredients
so you can come home and whip up the meal in no time, you
are more likely to succeed.

I guarantee that if you spend a little time planning, and
you make the cooking and shopping part fun, you will make
better choices this month. You will feel better and you
will see changes without making huge sacrifices.

Besides, aren't you glad I didn't send this before Super
Bowl weekend? Now get planning!
