Let's face it, some days you just don't feel like exercising.

You get too busy, too stressed and quite simply too tired.

Here's a list of 13 of the top reasons to exercise. Pull out this list and read it when you're having one of those days.

1. To Prevent Disease
Exercise has been proven to reduce the risk of just about every single health problem known to man, from stroke to heart disease to cancer and osteoporosis. Exercise is also a great defense against type 2 diabetes, which is one of the most widely growing diseases of our time.

2. To Look Great
Exercise firms your body, improves posture and even makes your skin glow. Looking your best is a wonderful result of regular exercise.

3. To Lose Weight and Keep It Off
Exercise burns fat and prevents future fat storage. If you want to have a thinner, healthier body, exercise is the answer.

4. To Have More Energy
Anyone who exercises regularly will tell you that they are more energetic, less easily irritated and are more peaceful.

5. To Sleep Better
Exercise boosts energy levels, but also wears you out. It makes you feel more vibrant during the day and sleep better at night.

6. To Age Slower
Exercise is one of the most effective ways to fight aging. When you age your body loses muscle and bone, while the loss of both are drastically reduced with regular exercise. Exercise also helps reduce inflammation.

7. To Relieve Back Pain
In most cases, the best thing that you can do for back pain is to move and strengthen those muscles. Consult your physician or physical therapist for guidance.

8. To Ease Depression
Exercise has been proven to reduce depression – sometimes even as effectively as medication. Just chalk this up as yet another amazing benefit to exercise.

9. To Reduce Aches and Pains
By strengthening muscles around your damaged joints you're able to use exercise to reduce joint pain and overall aches. Always consult your physician before starting an exercise program, especially if you have chronic joint pain.

10. To Stay Mentally Sharp
Exercise has been shown to improve memory and other cognitive functions, and seems to have a protective effect against dementia. A Harvard University researcher called exercise "Miracle-Gro for the brain."

11. To Enjoy Your Lifestyle
Whatever it is that you love in life – your kids, travel, sports, fashion - it is all more enjoyable when experienced in a fit and healthy body. Exercise so that you are able to enjoy all the great things in life.

12. To Reduce Sick Days
People who exercise regularly are 50% less likely to call in sick to work. A regular exercise program reduces colds and upper respiratory infections.

13. To Boost Confidence
Being fit, feeling healthy and having energy are all building blocks to having great confidence. There is no better confidence booster than sticking with a regular exercise program.

Regular exercise gives you so many amazing benefits, as you've seen from the above list. Call or email me today to get started on the exercise program that will change your life forever.

How To Find Exercises You Can Do If You Have An Injury

Recently I injured my knee; I was so bummed because one of my favorite things to do was to go jogging in the morning. My first thoughts were there goes my exercise for a month!  But, I know that our body starts to lose conditioning within three days of becoming a couch potato, so I had to tell myself it’s time to change my workouts.

If you ever get injured:  Depending on your injury, there’s more than one way to reach your fitness goal, most important is to keep moving and find something you can do if your doctor will allow it.


There are plenty of low or no impact exercise options
that can burn fat.

Great DVD Abs of Steel Workouts



Moderate elliptical training, cycling, or jogging in the water

If it’s a serious knee injury and it hurts to bend your knee opt for upper body workouts, hitting a boxing bag to get your heart rate up and upper body and abs.



How To maximize your growth hormone release you need to:

• Get a good night's sleep

• Avoid a high fat meal prior to exercising

• Drink plenty of water

• Eat healthy carbs (think vegetables) and high quality protein

• Optimize your vitamin D levels

• Avoid sugar, especially fructose

If you consume sugar or fructose, especially within two hours post-exercise, you will increase somatostatin which will in turn obliterate the production of growth hormone!

This is yet another example of why gulping down sports drinks that are chockfull of high fructose corn syrup can do your body more harm than good, and will just shut down your body's production of HGH and negate many of the benefits from your exercise.



Make sure to include stretching into your fitness routine:  Learn more here http://www.stretchingusa.com

Here Are 5 Better alternatives:

No Energy to workout? Ask Yourself These 4 Questions.

Have you ever said to yourself or someone else
"I don't have enough energy to workout"

If you have then it's time to take a good look at your sleeping, dietary and workout habits.

Ask yourself these 4 questions:
  1. Do I get at least seven to eight hours of sleep at night?
  2. Am I eating healthy quality calories from nutritious foods and beverages?
  3. What is your workout frequency?
  4. Do you have overtraining symptoms including lethargy?

Exercise has been shown to increase energy levels and
leave people feeling better about themselves
and more energized.
