I am sooo excited to start exercising…Are you REALLY? (partII)

A few posts back I posted the first addition to this posting. I used a hypothetical scenario between a trainer and a beginning client. You may have noticed that this particular client named “John” was super motivated to begin a new fitness program initially…and then the excuses started to pour in.

Eating Green Equals More Lean!

Two of my colleagues and very good friends are known for saying: you have to eat “lean and green!” Sounds simple enough, huh? But then there is the anti-veggie center of the brain that screams out, “Oh YUCK! I hate veggies!” Admit it; it is true! Those same thoughts that you had as a kid have followed you to your adult years. If you are one of the lucky ones, you may not mind veggies, but you still don’t consume enough of them in your diet!

I am SOOOO excited to start exercising! Are your REALLY? (Part I)

In my nearly nine years of service in the health and fitness industry I have noticed a common thread among those starting a fitness program for the first time. I have seen many people start a fitness program gleaming with hope, enthusiasm, anxiousness, and even fanaticism.
