Having Consistency on Your Fitness Journey
It isn't usually the case that people are training incorrectly to achieve their goal. Usually it is a matter of how consistently they are training with 100 percent effort and motivation. A day off here and there is great, encouraged in fact, but two days off can become a week which can become a month which can become a year, even. The thing with fitness is that when you return after a long lay off, you aren't back where you left off, you're way behind. So here are 10 rules I live by to ensure my efforts are sustained.

60 Miles in 60 Days (Week 1)
Week 1 I’ve been thinking about writing this for a while and I thought it was time since I had just finished my third Nike Running App programme with little success. The goal was to complete 12 miles during the four-week programme, yet I didn’t even manage a third of that.

No Gym... No Problem
I used to work at a gym back in my hometown; therefore, I had a free membership and access to a gym whenever I wanted. Even at Texas Tech there was an amazing gym I could workout at whenever I wanted to. I took these for granted and didn't realize how dependent I had become on a gym. I'm not talking about the treadmill or elliptical; no, I would use the weights, the barbells, leg press, squat racks, etc. I loved my gym time, in fact I didn't realize just how much until I started my study abroad experience.

Get Fit - 5 Easy Steps
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS... In all honesty, I named this post “Get Fit – 5 Easy Steps” because “Fitness for People who are Allergic to the Gym and Unwilling to Give Up Pizza” was too long of a title. Let me start with these mind-blowing facts: You don’t have to go to the gym to get fit, you don’t need a personal trainer to get fit, AND you don’t even have to leave your house to get the body you’ve been wishing for. I’ve known so many people who drastically changed their lifestyles in order to reach body acceptance. Not only did they set unrealistic goals, but also they hated the fitness journey like hell. First of all, you have to identify what “fit” is to you, because it varies from person to person. Nobody should strive to look like Kate Moss in her heyday. That’s just ridiculous! This is THE SECRET to solving your Body Blues: Toss out the junk food, set a realistic goal, and choose a routine that matches your current lifestyle.
