What are your Fitness Goals for 2012?

We are 5 days into 2012.
Did you make any resolutions?
Did you promise yourself that this is the year you will lose weight, have more energy, look and feel fit?

How is it going so far?
You can be the fit, healthy person you want to be in 2012 and for the rest of your life if you really want it!
Do you?
No one can do it for you.
It's up to you.
You are the only one who can make that decision!

As with any fitness regimen, before you even begin, you need to visit your doctor to make sure you are in shape to start. Once you get the all clear, the first step toward success is setting goals- you can't get anywhere if you don't know where you're going or what you want! Be truthful with yourself about where you are starting from and how much time you need to give yourself to attain your goal.
It is important that you are mentally prepared for the hard work and lifestyle changes that lie ahead. Most people deal only with the diet and exercise parts of losing weight and  getting fit. In my experience as a trainer , mental readiness is just as important for lasting success!

Ask yourself:
* Am I ready to get up off the couch and move my body for 20-30 minutes 5-6 days per week?
* Am I ready to  pick up some weights and  train at least 2-3 days per week?
* Am I ready to STOP SMOKING?
* Am I ready to STOP filling my body with sugar, caffeine, and processed foods?
* Am I ready to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night?
* Am I ready to TRY SOMETHING NEW and treat myself like I would my best friend?

You are the only one that can answer these questions.
Do you think your worth it?
I DO!

Let me know how you plan to take care of yourself this year. I would love to hear :)
