With springtime finally upon us, it's time to start thinking about vacations and swimsuits. The idea of putting on a bathing suit may seem a far-fetched thought, but starting early will give you time to develop a targeted plan, assess and modify what you're eating and design the perfect workout.
First, let's tackle the plan. As with anything, preparation is key.
It's easy to tell you what to eat and how often to exercise, but you alone can design a plan that best fits your life. Take into consideration your work schedule, how often you'll be traveling (both business and pleasure), your kids' schedules and other family commitments. Your availability to stick with a plan is a factor in how successful you'll be.
In the plan, identify the best times for you to work out, overall fitness goals (strengthen upper body, lower body or specific regions), and diet goals. Write all of this information on a card and keep somewhere that you'll see every day. The more you're reminded of your plan, the more likely you'll be to follow it.
Look for upcoming posts covering parts two and three - your diet and daily activity.
