We Do What We Think Is Important

Did you know the brain is an organ that controls the functions of the body?  "It is sometimes referred to as a muscle of thinking as the brain actually tells your muscles what to do." 

Often times we get in the way of our brain. It's trying to tell us to eat right, exercise, and get plenty of rest but we go full rebel on ourselves. Instead of listening to what we should do, we do what we think is important.

Health and fitness haven't made the important list for many of us. We are so caught up in doing things that never include workouts or cooking a healthy meal. We would rather sit with our faces buried in an illuminated screen with a bag of chips. Well, everyone has busy lives and there is someone busier than you working out right now.

When are we going to allow our brain to control our muscles during a great workout? Our body is not meant to sit in office chairs all day moving to the sofa for the remainder of the night. It's meant to be challenged, worked and exercised.

We need to get real and admit we're not taking responsibility for our health and fitness. Being overweight and poor lab results are not taken seriously. Walking around in denial applies to most of the population. We're pretending there isn't a problem. What?!

When we change our mindset is when our muscles start responding in positive ways. We need to do what is important not what we think is important. Your health equals happiness and a quality life. You will be able to do those other things with a healthier, stronger body.

If we don't make time for our health and fitness, illness will eventually make time for us. Life is too short to continue to get this mixed up. All in fitness love. Be well and Stay Healthy!

Today is Your Monday to Make Fit Happen

How many Mondays have gone by without starting your fitness program? The day is here again and what are you doing to get closer to your goals? We have good intentions, want to get in shape but follow through is lacking.

It's time to put a stop to the excuses always getting in the way of our health. Health is our wealth and we couldn't be so busy without it. Think about that. Declining health equals no work, no social life, and no money. Not that money is or should be the most important thing in life.

Our priorities are skewed and our reasons to not get fit make no sense in the big scheme of life. We shouldn't wait to feel sick and tired of being sick and tired. Our lives require a priority overhaul. Living a life without health is not a quality life at all. When waking is greeted to popping pills to run our body there is something wrong. This shouldn't be an acceptable norm for society. This should piss you off and motivate change in your life.

Today is your Monday to make fit happen. Someday is no longer an acceptable excuse and doesn't qualify as a day of the week. Do you want to lose fat, look good naked, feel great, move better, and be more confident? Do you want to toss those pills prescribed from self-induced illness?

Change takes a choice and you're responsible for your health and fitness. Your busy lifestyle should include workouts and healthy food. Fitness is good time management. Make going to the gym one of your social hours and don't cancel. Take time to pack your healthy food instead of dashing to nearby restaurants.

You can achieve your goals by applying simple changes. It will be a progressive life-long journey. Life is meant to be enjoyed with a healthy, fit body. The choice is yours to make it happen. All in fitness love. Stay Healthy!
