It is 2010! Can you believe it? Well, I can’t. . . it seems like just yesterday is was 1980 something and I was just a kid watching Madonna perform on the MTV Music Awards. Alas, I’m not a kid anymore and neither is Madonna. We are both adults, although she is “borderline” senior citizen and I’m not! Both Madonna and I do however share a passion for fitness, fashion, and fun. I hope that if you are reading this article you have some passion or at least motivation to get and/or remain fit, fashionable, and to have fun. I’m not big into new year’s resolutions, because I feel like any time is a wonderful time to make changes in your life. . . THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW, NOT JANUARY 1!
Ella Wheeler Wilcox said that, “There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” Accordingly, becoming a healthier and happier person is COMPLETELY within your control. You just need to commit and persevere!
Fitness doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a journey!
For most, it can be a somewhat painful journey – it requires a lifestyle change: changing eating habits, lots of sweat, a plethora of sore muscles and some tears! But the results are more than worth the effort and the journey to a healthier, fitter lifestyle is an enlightening experience. And once you become a healthier, fitter, happier version of yourself. . .YOU WILL NEVER SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS! You can do this!
Happy New Years and Happy Training!
