Fitness and Health tips from Pittsburgh personal trainer, life coach, and Independent Beachbody Coach, Jackie Omotalade, The First Lady of Fitness, Fashion, and Fun:
(1) Set Aside Time to Exercise - Keep that time as sacred! I manage to squeeze in three daily workouts while running multiple successful businesses. You can at least squeeze in three workouts a week! Pick a workout length and program that works for your lifestyle. One of the reasons that I became a Independent Beachbody Coach is because there are a variety of workouts to suit every fitness level and constricted time concerns.
(2) Do a warm up and a cool down!
(3) Workout with Friends
Why not invite your girlfriends to go hiking or a brisk walk in the park? Working out with others can keep you from getting bored and also motivate you to continue working out.
(4) Don’t use a crash diet to lose weight! Usually, you only end up losing water weight and NOT fat, so you gain the weight back very quickly.
(5) Eliminate Soda from you diet, because just two cans of soda can add up to 380 calories, instead drink water or tea.
(6) Never SAY Never! Portion control is key! You don’t have to eliminate your favorite foods from your diet. MODERATION is the key, just having smaller portions of the unhealthier foods that you like!
