Do you need some inspiration or a kick in the pants for summer.  Here it is!  You’ll be on your way to a slimmer you by swimsuit season.  Let’s be honest, to see results you need real workouts.  This means getting off the couch, even on days where you’d rather veg.  To get started begin with these 3 Steps. 

STEP 1:  Find your Passion! 

First, write down something about yourself that you’d like to change.  This may sound negative, but once you’ve identified your weakness, your on your way to solving it.  ie:  “I want a little less hips, belly, or perhaps less flap in your arms.    You will want to make that goal more specific with a weight loss goal, inches to lose, or a pair of pants or size you want to get into. 

STEP 2:  Ignite your Passion! 

Next, you break your goal into pieces or action steps.  I will walk/jog 3 times per week for 3 consecutive weeks.  Once you reach this goal you’ll be inspired to keep going and build momentum.  Now it’s time to reward yourself for this mile marker with a pedicure or a new scarf. 

STEP 3:  Fuel your Passion! 

Write down what’s really important to you.  Is it your kids, your husband, your job or your health?  Than ask yourself how being fit will affect them.  If you’re family oriented, maybe you want to be able to run around with your kids.  If you’re career minded, maybe you want to stay marketable and appear youthful in a volatile market. 

 Basically, you  need to dig down to the Why behind your passion.  When you discover the why behind losing 8 pounds or making healthy eating and exercise a regular habit you will be inspired to keep going.  Write down your reason.  Keep your long-term goals  in front of you in a diary, log or on-line planner. 

This motivation can keep you going for a lifetime.  If you live in S.Western Pa and need more inspiration my Pilates/Fitness and Golf classes start this week May 3-6, and personal training is available.  Comment below to let me know how you ignite your passion.
