You can’t find a more cliché quote than that, yet it is remarkably powerful and true. It is especially powerful when it comes to fitness and weight loss. Why is that?

It is because the path to being lean and healthy is a long and grueling one. We all know this but why do so many quit before they achieve their ultimate goal? One word:
Excuses

We all have them but what separates those who are fit and those who are not are the amount of excuses employed. Excuses are the easy way out and they are debilitating. “I had a long day at work”, “I am having marital and family problems”, “I am under the weather”, and “It costs too much money”. Those are some of the many popular excuses we hear. Granted, life happens as they say. Sometimes things are out of our control but our health and well-being are well within our grasp. We have a client that is leaving us in a week. She lost nearly 90 pounds since starting about 15 months ago! The one thing that was certain about her is that we never heard her make an excuse for either missing a workout, not working out hard, and especially regarding her diet. Her stresses in life were never used as an excuse and that goes for anyone who is in great shape. I can speak for her by saying she is the happiest she has ever felt in her life and it all started with that first step!

We are proud to train a lot of successful individuals here at Premier. How did all these people become successful in life? I’m almost certain they didn’t make excuses along the way and they also didn’t become successful over night. To most it took many years of hard work and perseverance. Fitness works the same way. It is not an overnight success. It takes time, hard work, and a refusal to quit!

So bag the excuses and fast aspirations and take that first step on a thousand mile journey. Make every step count and make every mile the hardest one, each and every time. You do that and I guarantee you will achieve your goals and be healthy and happy.
Get It Done!

One final note: Always ask your trainer(s) for advice and guidance. That’s what we are here for. You can never ever ask too many questions. There are also no dumb questions. The dumbest question is the one not asked. Tap into our brains!

So, you want to lose weight but my guess is this is not the first time you’ve tried, am I right? Most people who struggle with weight issues have tried repeatedly to lose their weight only to fail again and again. Many get to a place of resignation and stop trying falsely believing that it is difficult to lose weight.

Let me bust that myth right now. There is NOTHING difficult about losing weight! Yeah, maybe it takes some time and consistent effort but is is not difficult.

I have been helping people lose weight and reclaim their bodies since 1995.  Pay attention now because I am about to divulge my professional secrets to you for free!

First: Be proactive! I can almost hear your groans but hear me out please. What I mean is simple. You must plan your meals BEFORE you are hungry. If you wait until your blood sugar drops you are REACTIVE to the chemical changes in your body! Blood sugar dropping can cause cravings and extreme hunger that pushes your will power beyond it limits.

By planning your meals and knowing what you will eat ahead of time you take your will power out of the equation. Your good choice of what to eat has been made before your blood sugar drops.

Second:Eat 3 small meals and 2 to 3 snacks per day. By eating every few hours you again control your blood sugar levels. You will also maintain an elevated metabolic profile by eating small meals at regular intervals. Again, you should plan these ahead of time so you can make wise choices.

Third:(Normally I would talk about exercise here but this article focuses on diet only. I’m going to assume you are already getting regular exercise) What I’m going to tell you next is an absolute must for consistent weight loss.  I coach my clients and track their progress for accountability. If their progress stops I guarantee they have stopped doing this next crucial step. KEEP A FOOD JOURNAL and be accountable to someone to review it every week. 

My most successful clients to date are Jamie and Kim who have lost 162 lbs between them. Every week without fail, we review their food journals.  Are they perfect? No! Not ever. But they are strict enough to get the consistent results they desire. Which brings me to my final component.

Four:Set a goal weight and a goal date. You must know how much and by what date if you are to track your progress and make the necessary adjustments along the way to reach your goals.

So that’s it. Not difficult. Time consuming for sure. Changing some bad habits no doubt. But which sucks more: doing some extra work and consistently following through to get your body back? Or, feeling like crap because your clothes don’t fit right and you hate what you see in the mirror everyday?

Believe in yourself and take consistent action everyday to make your life the way you want it to be. We don’t get a second chance at life so what are you waiting for? Start now to reclaim your life!

Attitude Counts in Weight Loss Programs

Your attitude towards your weight loss efforts has a lot to do with your success. When you are trying to lose weight at home, the chances are there is plenty of temptation around making it difficult to stay on track. You begin with a gung-ho attitude which eventually erodes into an attitude that this diet isn’t going to work so you will try again on Monday.

How many diets have been started on a Monday? Think back on all the times you told yourself you will eat what you want through the weekend and will start your diet on Monday. By Friday the diet is getting very tiresome as the rest of your family eats what they want around you.

In boot camps in West Chester you will understand from day one why it works as a weight loss program. Your class will be full of other people who have the same goals as you – to get fit and lose weight while doing so. When you look around at boot camp, you will see only fellow boot campers who are motivated and determined to succeed.

Accountable to Yourself

In other words, your positive attitude towards fitness and weight loss is sustained every step of the way. You are held accountable as a participant in that you must exert your best effort in order to succeed. The instructor will educate you in the proper techniques and methods while insuring the program includes a variety of fat burning exercises.

People sharing classes in boot camps in West Chester often become supportive friends. Though you are accountable to yourself first, sharing classes with others who have the same goals makes you accountable to each other too. Who wants to go to boot camp class and confess they ate 3 donuts the night before which erased the positive effects of a whole exercise class!?

The structured nature of the programs at boot camps in West Chester holds you accountable in another way. When you attend class, you must do the exercises the instructor lays out for you. Many people trying to lose weight on their own by going to the gym end up wasting valuable time tyring to learn how to use equipment, or they don’t know how to maintain aerobic levels to reach the fat burning stage.

At fitness boot camps in West Chester, you are accountable to yourself, but you get the right instruction, the right guidance, and the right support to be successful at losing weight. Along the way you will also get fitter than you have ever been in your life.

The swine flu is spreading! The swine flu was formerly only contracted by pigs has caused a reported 150+ human deaths in Mexico, and cases are now being reported here in the U.S. and cases have been confirmed on every continent.

   The swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza and is normally contained to pigs. Human outbreaks of the swine flu were first reported in March in California and Texas and have since spread to other states. Symptoms are similar to the regular human flu and it is thought to be spread in much the same way such as; coughing and sneezing, doorknobs, and various things that are handled by infectious people. Unfortunately, the first thirty–six hours of infection (the point at which most people are contagious) are often asymptomatic.

    So, while at the gym, you step up to the next machine in your circuit, grab the handles, push through a couple of hard sets, and then wipe the sweat from the corner of your eye. Could happen ,right? AND… you just contracted the swine flu but don’t know it yet. Then you move over to the dumbbell rack, grab some 20lb dumbbells (25’s if there is a cutie nearby) and do three sets of curls. You, being the conscientious type, make sure to put the dumbbells back on the rack(just in time to see that cutie pick them up for a serious set of walking lunges-whew!). And guess what, you’ve just passed on the flu. Just like that! Now here comes that guy you know from..somewhere. You know the guy who always shakes your hand EVERYTIME you see him. Put your hands in you pockets, quick! ..too late…”good to see you too. Yeah, I’m fine, fine…how you doin?”. Bam, another swine flu victim.

   So, how do you avoid it? Or can a gym rat like you avoid the swine flu and not seriously disrupt your lifestyle? Of course, but you may have to be willing to try something new.

   Here are the steps to take to avoid the swine flu; 1.wash your hands-before and after your workout.  2.Wipe down each piece of equipment before you use it. (most gyms have disinfecting towelettes available). 3.Bing a clean towel to wipe sweat from your eyes(be sure to keep the towel off of equipment during your workout. 4.Open your water bottle with your teeth, not your hands. 5. Cover your mouth if you sneeze or cough. 6.Eat right and get plenty of rest.

   If you still don’t feel safe,(here is where you can try something different) take your workout out doors, in the fresh, clean springtime air of Chester County. Go for a hike, take a jog, or join a Fitness Boot camp!
