Patch Blog: How Motivation is Key to Health, Fitness

Keep your motivation up and you can't help but achieve your fitness goals.

How do you do what you know you should do?

Many of my personal training clients in La Crescenta workout with us one or two days a week. The plan is to provide them with the "know how," so they can extend the workouts one or two days a week by themselves. Sorry to say, but a good majority of the clients wind up working out, only when they're with us.

A good way to make yourself accountable is to make your progress visual. The easiest way to lose weight is to exercise three to five times per week. The reason for success is tied to the fact that you don't blow the eating when you just finished a workout.

A good way to insure you do those extra workouts is to simply put a notation on your day planner or calendar. Some people like to put an X where as others like to write WORKOUT. You can draw a smiley face if you like. The idea is, make it easy to see when you look at your week if you've hit your goal.

A suggestion, put a calendar on the frig or pantry door. Make a notation every time you walk or do any kind of exercise. You can include yard work, house cleaning or other activities. This way it fills up the week and makes you feel better.
