Just Decide!
This is the first step – decision! It is a creative and exciting process that exists in your mind. Each decision is the origin of a plan, whether it’s simple or complex. Getting out of bed in the morning or changing your lifestyle to gain strength and energy while dropping fat and tightening your waistline…
Change Your Life-Style
There is more and more scientifically backed data indicating that healthy lifestyle habits have a signifigant effect on our overall health and fitness. Moreover they can decrease our chances of chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia and chronic respiratory disease by up to 80%! This information both thrills and baffles me! It is empowering…
Waistline, Weight & Wellness
These three things are highly related to what’s on your fork. A plant powered whole food diet supports a tight waistline, healthy body weight and overall wellness. These closely related attributes that we all want are more dependent on your diet than anything else. Fill half your plate with colourful fruits and veggies, one quarter…
Who To Trust?
When you find yourself wondering who to trust about fitness advice start with yourself. While your mind is questioning your gut, or instinct, already knows the answer. The rambling in your mind is a defence mechanism meant to keep you safe, when in imminent danger. Overthinking a solution to your fitness goal, while important, doesn’t…
What It’s Worth
Why does this bring money to mind? Somehow worth became associated with money, almost exclusively, and it makes me sad. Of course money is necessary but are we really meant to be focused on what’s in the bank while reviewing our lives? What about the quality of our health? All the money in the world…
Assess, Begin & Continue
It all boils down to some of this and some of that. Some work, activity and exercise balanced with some rest and recovery. Some good whole foods and some processed food. What trips most people up is finding the right balance but the answer is very apparent, so long as you’re paying attention to the…
The Lifestyle Solution
All too often I hear that ‘blank’ worked for me in the past and my answer is always the same. If it really worked for you then you wouldn’t be looking for a solution now. Feeling fit and healthy for the long haul requires a sustainable solution, or lifestyle. The style in which you live…
Behave Yourself
I am certainly not suggesting that you must act appropriately (whatever that means) all the time. What I am pointing out is that the only behaviour you can control is yours. No matter what happens around you, from the words and actions of others to local events, you are responsible for your behaviour. This is…
Goal, Behaviour & Results
Your goals are yours so why would you try to achieve them in a manner that doesn’t serve you? Making changes to your behaviour (a necessity in goal achievement) is far easier when you actually want to make the change. If you hate running then don’t plan that in order to boost your cardiovascular health.…
Effort-Less
Effort changes everything! It changes how you feel emotionally and physically. It changes how you think and how you behave. It doesn’t need to be a constant effort or grueling work, but the consistency must be there to get the results you want. Here’s the great news… It gets easier over time. Though it might…
