Get Healthy In 2012


Well, it's that time of year again; the time of year when everyone makes their New Year's resolutions.
One of the most popular resolutions that people make involves getting in shape.
Every year, people say the same thing.
And every year, they do the same thing-procrastinate or quit!
Oh, they'll go to the gym the first couple of weeks, but then the excuses start coming.

"I don't have the time."
"I work too many hours."
"It's too crowded in the gym."

Come on people!
It's time out for the excuses!
Last year we lost some of our most beloved celebrities due to health related issues.
That should be a wake up call that it's time to get it together!
Many people will try to get it together by using certain gimmicks like weight watchers, Jenny Craig, the (whatever you call that thing you put around your waist to burn off the fat), and all of that other stuff.
Yes, in my opinion, those are gimmicks! Because while you will lose the weight, you're not getting healthier.
You're not doing any cardio which puts you at risk for high blood pressure, stroke or even a heart attack.

I challenge you to leave all of those gimmicks in 2011 and get with the new program.
OPERATION: #healthyisthenewsexy
If you can't make it to a gym or don't have enough time,invest in a PX-90 or Insanity workout dvd.
(Insanity is a BEAST!)
You can do those things in the comfort of your own home at your own pace.
If you need someone to motivate you, find a partner and start running (not walking-RUNNING).
Take up a hobby like kickboxing or biking.
Try Zumba! Everybody and they mama's mama is trying Zumba! (broken english)
I don't care what you do, but please do something!

Losing weight isn't just about looking good and feeling good.
It's about being healthy and having a healthier lifestyle!

I wish you well on your journey and would love to hear some of your testimonies throughout the year.
