Perfect Fit Personal Training- Health and Fitness Blog

Two kids, her own personal training studio, and a great body to boot; what more could a woman ask for these days? Well, if you were Amy Morgan, you could ask for something else: a terrific man who would sweep you off of your feet and rescue you from the loneliness of life in L.A. Moving to what she saw as the hub of American wealth and sophistication had been a huge change from her quiet suburban life back in Seattle; and she was not used to all of the changes that her new life had brought. With her school age kids Emma and Brandon to take care of, Amy’s modest goals in life had changed and now she just longed for stability. She was determined that she would meet Mr. Right somewhere in California; and once she did, she’d finally be happy.

Feeling the effects of the weekend? Did you forget to eat right and get in some physical activity? Start the week off right tomorrow, and try to stay consistent all through the week, even on the weekends. Why waste all of your workouts on weekend bingeing? Instead, try to allow yourself some guilty pleasures without over indulging. You'll feel better on Monday, guaranteed. Happy Monday!

Here is an excerpt from my novel. Tell me what you think! “Oh, I don’t know. Mandy, you’re not listening to me. I went to the doctor’s for a routine visit. My doctor was on vacation, and I was supposed to see her replacement. But listen to this, the replacement had food poisoning and this doctor was the replacement for the replacement! Isn’t that weird? It’s like karma or something,” Amy went on, starting to get carried away. She was starting to regret not agreeing to the coffee in retrospect. What would be the big deal? Sure he’d seen her womanly areas, but lots of men had. Well, not that many, but really, what was the harm in a little coffee? She could really go for a mocha right now. Low fat of course, and no whipped cream.

Music? Yes, it's important. Especially when you're working out. I love listening to up-tempo music when I'm doing cardio, especially if it's early morning. Do you play music when you work out? If not, give it a try and see what a difference it can make. With the availability of MP3's now, it's easier than ever to get the music you love on your player within minutes. Amp up the tunes and start to feel yourself enjoying the work out that much more. For fitness specific music, you can check out : Musclemixes.com Powermusic.com Enjoy the music!

What is motivating you these days? Are you tired of feeling like you want something, but just don't know how to get it? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to tone up? Do you want to look the way you feel inside? If you're lacking motivation, why not try the challenge? Take a 30 day challenge and fire up your motivation, your metabolism, and your energy levels. It could be a yoga, Pilates, eating, cleansing, weight training or anything challenge. Just take the challenge and change your life.

Circuit training is “the trend” right now with clubs like “Curves” popping up on every corner in every city across Canada and the United States. Even here on the North Shore we have four clubs. Other circuit training facilities such as “Figure It Out” and “30 Minute Hit” have also infiltrated the market with other types of circuit programs. Circuit training is so popular because it is effective. One 30 minute session can burn up to 200 calories, besides giving you cardiovascular training and toning your muscles. If you engage in circuit training three times per week and burn 200 calories each time, that is 600 calories per week burned. Also, fitting everything in to one workout gives you time to enjoy the rest of your day and lets you focus on other things in your busy life. If you can’t see yourself joining any gym, let alone a circuit training facility, then why not create your own circuit at home? With very little equipment and space you can design a program that will start shedding...

We all have dreams and hopes of one day being "something". Maybe we hope to be a parent, a spouse, a little skinnier, a little healthier, or whatever it may be. We all have aspirations to do or be something, but how many of us are reaching those goals? How many of us are living the way we really want to be living? We say we'll lose weight- "I'll start the new diet on Monday." We say we'll start working out- "I don't have time." We say we'll start doing this or that but why aren't we? What's holding us back? Look deep inside yourself and try to find motivation and meaning to go out there and do the things that you want to do. Make yourself the number one priority and make yourself happy. When you're happy, you'll be able to make others happy. So, go out there and do it!
