So you’ve made a resolution, now what?

re-solve (verb): to make a firm decision about

I think New Year’s resolutions are a great way for people to make positive changes in their lives. However, people often set goals to improve their health, and then have no idea where to go from there. Here are three simple steps to get started:

• Do something. Any exercise is a good start. If you gradually work up your endurance and intensity you’ll be more likely to stick with it.
• Keep a journal. Track what and when you’re eating and the type and duration of your exercise. (If you don’t like writing one out by hand, there are some excellent online options such as dailyburn.com, or sparkpeople.com.)
• Find a workout partner. In order to be successful, you need to have someone keeping you accountable to actually show up over the time it takes to make progress.

Get your new year started on the right foot,
Glenn

Thank You

As the one year anniversary of our opening approaches, I would like to take a moment to thank my clients.
- I appreciate the clients who made the transition with me to our new location.
- I am thankful for the continued referrals I get from my clients.
- I am honored by the loyalty and trust people place in me to help them reach their fitness goals.
- Thanks to the family and friends who helped me reach my dream of opening my own personal training center.

I hope my clients have enjoyed working out in the new environment I have created. I work hard to make a sometimes difficult and painful activity more fun.

The best parts of my days are working with my clients.

Thank you,
Glenn

grat⋅i⋅tude

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. -- Thornton Wilder

Studies have demonstrated that gratitude is beneficial for mental health and relieves stress. No big surprise there. But how do you incorporate thankfulness into your everyday life?

Find some ways to express your appreciation for the people and things you cherish. Here are a few ideas:
Keep a gratitude journal
Create a family thankfulness collage
Write a letter to someone you appreciate

Every Thanksgiving my mom would give each person three kernels of corn. Before dinner, we would go around the table and share three things we were thankful for. I enjoyed thinking about all the things I was grateful for and narrowing it down to the top three.

Three things I'm thankful for today.
1. Taking 20 minutes to jog on the treadmill energizes my whole day.
2. Dark chocolate. (It's high in anti-oxidants!)
3. The autumn weather is absolutely beautiful.

What are you thankful for?
