5 Simple Ways To Stay On Track

SET REALISTIC GOALS
Its no secret that men and women alike are seeking a life of health and wellness. Whether your goal is to lose weight, tone up, or have the body of a fitnees model you need to start somewhere. The best approach to have is to take it a step at a time. Dont't bother yourself with all the things you have to do, only focus on the now and what needs to be done today. The reason why most goals fail is because we become impatient, remember Rome wasnt built in a day.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
I love talking about dieting. I believe that dieting is the most misunderstood area in health and fitness. One minute you hear how great certain foods and supplements are for you, two months later there's some kind of health journal stating the negative causes and affects. My rule of thumb for dieting is simple. If it doesn't rott don't eat it. Be careful of prepackaged meals, fruit juices, fat free products. Make small adjustments into your diet that are going to have a profound impact in your future.

GET ENOUGH REST
New York is probably the most exciting city in the world. There is always something to do, places to be, people to see. You can easily get off track and occupy your time with other things rather than sleep. A New York minute can flash before your eyes and before you know it your hours of sleep are slowly decreasing. If you are like me and take your training seriously I can't stress how important sleep is. For every hour you sleep that's time you are giving your body the rest it needs to recuperate itself. So what are you waiting for? Get to bed.

FIND WHAT MOTIVATES YOU
Surround yourself with positivity. There's nothing more motivating than having sources you can draw inspiration from. If posting pictures of your ideal body on your wall or fridge is what does it for you, put those pictures up. Maybe a YouTube video might do the trick or a book from someone you admire that's in shape or radiates inspiration. Find whatever it takes for you to stay on track and make it a habit of consistanly visiting that source.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Not everyone is going to have the same goals as you. There are going to be many people that think going to day gym day in and day out is just down right crazy. Not having a support system of friends and family can be tough, trust me many people go through this. They are going to ask you to do things that will make you feel off track. If this happens take a second and regain your focus. Its not a sin to have a little fun, just make sure that you set your boundries and talk with others so they understand. Another thing you should be doing is talking to peole of similar interest. Make it a point to schedule a day for some sort of activity so others can have fun. Baseball at the local field, a game of basketball, or mabye some football will do the trick. The key is to find ways to be active with the ones you love.
