Listen to this...

If you are looking for great fitness information...subscribe to The Fitcast, available on iTunes. Entertaining and informational! They have frequent guest interviews including many well renowned fitness experts providing great information and motivation. Weekly podcasts provide entertainment and motivation. Great listen!
The usual cast of characters, Kevin, Jon and Leigh are full of great information and kick yourself in the butt motivation. The recent guest interview with Steve Cotter, kettlebell expert inspired me to dust off my kettlebells for a workout yesterday and my glutes and thighs were screaming through my cardio this morning! Thanks for the inspiration to mix it up!

Get moving....

Love Motiontraxx (available on iTunes)! Makes HIIT easy...well, times the intervals and sets the pace for me but the workout still kicks my butt!

Time for a change...

I have been at the weight lifting thing for several years and have experienced plateaus before but this time somehow I am stuck in a routine...I definately need to take some time to come up with a new program.

My goal: change up the routine the beginning of each month!

This month I add drop sets! Start with a set or 2 as usual then without rest between sets lower the weight and perform exercise until failure, lower weight and do it again! Trying this with delts, triceps and lats so far.

Next month? Switch from dumbbells work back to more cables?

Please help yourself...

Bottom line...we all have to choose to make changes and educate ourselves to get on and stay on the path to fitness/wellness. The hard part is getting into shape...let's only do it once. On the quest, develop a lifestyle that will keep you in shape.

Find motivation to stay on track and bring your halthy lifestyle goals to the front of your mind. It is critical to have frequent reminders throughout the day to help stick to the plan when making decisions about snacking and push myself to go the extra mile with the workout. I subscribe to Oxygen Magazine and gain a freshened motivation each month when it arrives in the mail. I also have subscibed to The FitCast podcast which is very entertaining, motivating and informational, I listen to the podcast on my commute. All this keeps me thinking in the "fit mindset."

These are working for me, find something that works for you!
