How many of you have thought about giving up this second week?! DON'T!! It gets easier the more you do it, you just have to TOUGH IT OUT. You know that you feel a thousand times better after you work out and your body feels better too. Here are a few tips:
- Be sure that your staying hydrated. It helps you work out better and longer.
- If you can eat something before you work out, it will help give you the energy you need to work out. Also be sure to eat a little something after your work out. For me, I have to eat something. Whether its a bowl of cereal or a multi grain bar. I get the shakes and my body needs something. Find what helps give you the energy before and after your work out.
- Don't forget to have your rest days. Your body needs time to energize itself back up before your next work out. If you need three rest days one week and the next week its two rest days....thats ok. We all have our good and bad weeks.
- Bump up your work out regiment every week. If stay at the same amount of reps, laps, weights, etc. Keeping your body strong.
- Your body gains muscle before it really loses weight. If you haven't worked out in a long time and you work your but off all week and you didn't really lose weight or you gained a little bit...a lot of the time its because your body is gaining muscle. (this depends on the person, eating habits, and workout routine) For me, if I haven't worked out in a long time, I notice that I gain muscle before I lose weight. Again, its different for every person.
Don't give up on week two! When you stick with it, you will be so proud of yourself. Stay MOTIVATED and if you need help doing that, let me know!!
"JUST SAY TO YOURSELF...HOW BAD TO I WANT THIS? AM I WORKING HARDER THAN THE PERSON WHO WILL BE STANDING NEXT TO ME?"
