Happy Labor Day!
Hope you've enjoyed your long weekend and are ready to tackle the short week ahead.
Today I have 4 items I would like to share with you that I am sure will take some of the guess work out of getting started on creating that new you.
The first is the easiest of them all. A new study just released states that it only takes a commitment of 15 minutes/day to actually add 3 years to your life. Imagine that, just 15 minutes per day and you can add 3 more years to your life -- quality years of course.
15 Minutes of Fitness Per Day
We are all looking for ways to get the results as fast as possible. So it doesn't surprise me when someone asks, "What is the best time to workout?" To be honest, the best time is the time that you can commit to on a regular basis. I realize not every person is an early riser, but if you've considered starting or changing your workouts to the morning, here's -- 5 Reasons to Incorporate Morning Workouts.
The next article I would like to share with you is actually for you to share with one of your friends that is on the fence about whether or not to commit to an exercise program. So often people make fitness as challenging and intricate as brain surgery. It doesn't have to be that way. It actually can be boiled down to the basics. I realize there is a ton of information out there that can confuse even the seasoned veterans. So here you go: 3 Simple Rules of Fitness
And finally, the last article of real value today is one that is actually a response to a person I ran into at the grocery store today. He asked me did I really believe that lifting weights could actually help him lose weight faster. DEFINITELY!! I've been in the fitness biz for over 17 years and let me tell you, it never ceases to amaze me how many people begin a weight loss program and only do cardio. If you're serious about wanting to shed body fat as quickly as possible, including resistance exercise is an absolute must.

And for the gentleman I met at the grocery store today -- add some weights and watch the difference it makes.
You know the saying --
Get On Track and Stay On Track!!
