Bike Path Fitness

It's up to us to decide to take the first step. Make the decision that now is the perfect time to commit to achieving your health and fitness goals. But how do we do it? Health is a multidimensional experience of the mind, body and spirit and should be thought of as a process that is constantly evolving. As you begin to make small incremental changes in your eating habits, activity levels and mind set you will start to feel better and better mentally, emotionally and physically.


"Take the first step of faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step". - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


We discussed the importance of keeping a daily journal. Your first entry was to determine your "why". Find your compelling "why" that will inspire you to take immediate and consistent action towards better health and well being.
Next we need to be honest and specific about where we are right now as we begin this journey towards optimum health and fitness. A great place to start is to contact you physician and schedule complete physical examination and blood profile before undertaking any dietary or lifestyle changes. It's important to make sure you are healthy enough to begin and exercise regimen and to discuss the important base line numbers with your doctor. Also, nothing is more motivating than to watch those number improve over time! Your doctor can also help you figure out your BMI. Your Body Mass Index can help you identify your goal weight. Body Mass Index equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Your doctor can help you set a healthy goal weight using a BMI chart and an appropriate time frame to achieve your weight loss. On average a healthy body can lose 1-3 pounds of fat per week. But there are many factors that come into play and this should be discussed with your health care provider.
Once you and your health care provider have discussed all your important base line numbers, your goal weight based on your BMI and the time frame in which to accomplish your goal weight you need to write it down in your journal and give it a deadline!


"Goals are dreams with deadlines". - Diane Scharf Hunt


Tomorrow we will discuss cleaning out your unhealthy environment...get out the trash bags!

The Goal for 2012- Fit and Healthy

Blog Post Provided by Nancy DiCiocco at putnamcountybootcamp.com 

Welcome!  Over the next several weeks we will be working together to help you attain the healthy body and lifestyle you desire. We all deserve to live more joyful, abundant and healthier lives, but for many it is emotionally difficult to start a new fitness program.  When working with clients, one of the first challenges we work on is the healthy mindset. We need to get your mind set for success.  I don’t want you to just “try” a fitness program or healthy menu.   I want you to decide right now that it is time for you.  Decide right now that you are fully committed to making 2012 your healthiest year ever and you will work towards becoming the healthy person you deserve to be, finally and forever.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”.-Mahatma Gandhi
So make the commitment.  Each time you take action towards your personal fitness and wellness goals, you will find that you reaffirm and deepen your commitment.  One of the first steps that my clients are required to do on a regular basis is to write down their goals and keep a daily journal.  This is to ensure that they become totally accountable to themselves.  So your first step is to get a journal and start writing!  So what should you write in your journal?  A good place to start is to answer a few questions - Why do I want to start exercising consistently?  Why do I want to lose weight?  Why do I want to kick the bad habits? More importantly, why right now? Discovering your why will motivate you, will inspire you and will help you consistently make healthier decisions and help you get more out of life both physically and emotionally.
