Top 5 reasons your fitness program can fail

Whether you are starting a new fitness routine, an experienced vet or even a recreational gym user your fitness program can fail. There is a risk you may get bored, not see results or even over train. All of these things can cause you to lose commitment, stress out, become demotivated or fall off your fitness routine. The following are the top 5 reasons that your fitness program can fail and how you can prevent that.

  1. You have not set any goals
  2. You are in the wrong training environment
  3. You don’t have a support system
  4. Not allowing for ‘fun’ time
  5. You Don’t have a training schedule

1. You have not set any goals

In order to succeed at whatever your fitness goal might be it is important to set specific goals. These goals will help you attain your end goal. It usually helps to also set a timeline to achieve these goals. One of the best ways to do this is to set what is called a S.M.A.R.T goal. Often times we head into the gym with no idea what we are trying to accomplish or vague goals like "losing weight", "toning up", “working on my upper body….” S.M.A.R.T stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. When a goal is measurable it helps to establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of the goal you set. An attainable goals is important because when you choose goals that are most important to you, you will be able to figure out ways you can achieve them. A realistic goal means that you will be able to reach it and it. You can always reassess once you achieve it and set new goals. And finally the goal should be timely and set within a certain  time frame to make sure you stay on track it should be written down.

2. You are in the wrong training environment

Going too extreme, too soon. i.e. forcing the body adapt to too much stressors all at once. Make changes gradually. Or you are in the wrong training environment and need to make a change to the right environment for you. If you don’t like big corporate gyms, then join a small studio. If you don’t like training alone, then try group fitness. If you only like training at home, then investigate that option. Whatever it is, you won’t continue going somewhere that you don’t enjoy walking through the doors.

3. You dont have a support system 

If you don’t have a support system in place to keep you accountable you are setting yourself up for failure. Training partners, friends, spouse – people that are supportive of your goals. Too many roadblocks on the path can lead to failure. When you have a support system you are more likely to stay on track, be motivated and stick to a regular routine. We never want to let our friends or loved ones down, and we definitely don’t want to leave them waiting at the gym for us!

4.Not allowing for ‘fun’ time 

Whether it’s a cheat meal or time away from the gym, the body and mind need temporary breaks, not pushing it 100% all out all the time. Allow for some things you enjoy and the program becomes much easier to follow. Plus this allows your body time to recover, regenerate and be prepared for the next week of workouts. I like to take Sunday and use it as a family day that way I enjoy my time and have some time away from the gym.

5. You Don’t have a training schedulePick a plan and stick to it for the duration. i.e. trust the process. Far too many try something for 2 weeks decide it’s not working and jump over to the next latest thing. One of the best ways to do this is to get a one-on-one personal trainer. If you would rather workout on your own maybe hiring an online coach like Me is an option. Online training programs like Trex do customized programs for you and you do them on your own. It’s a great option if all you need is to have someone to be accountable to.

There are a lot of different ways as you can see that your program can fail but you can succeed. Remember to set goals, write them down, get in the right training environment, find a support system, stick to a schedule and allow yourself some fun from time to time. You will be much more successful and happier with your results if you follow those steps! Happy training!

Before outlining my tips, it is important to mention some key points about human psychology and the difference between goals and processes.

It is believed that people are creatures of habit, and not just at the mercy of their genetics. The significance of this is that routines can be put into place which become habit over time and then further evolve into a lifestyle. With this in mind there are a number of strategies which can be used in order to get more efficient and steadily progress.


If there are no goals then there will be nothing to work towards. Having a goal gives motivation. One of the main purposes of life is to achieve goals. Lazy people cannot be lazy if they have goals, as goals are what sets lazy people apart from active, motivated people. Write down your goals and all you want to achieve. Sign it with your name. And stick it onto the wall. This means that your goals are now tangible, and you have committed to achieving them. 


A process is something that you will do everyday. A lesser known tip is that in order to reach goals you have to set processes. A goal might be to write a Novel. A process might be to write your novel everyday, or to write 1000 words every day. You cannot fail to achieve a goal if you commit to doing processes everyday, as ultimately your goals will be achieved. 

The following are Seven self care tips for Lazy people. Some might seem obvious at first, however it is important to bear in mind that not everybody has the same levels of motivation or enthusiasm, and everyone is different. Make use of goals, processes and signatures to put the following tips into action and to integrate them as part of a healthy lifestyle. 


1 – Exercise

Obviously you need your body in top physical condition. Use the goal/process/signature protocol mentioned above to exercise 3-4 times a week minimum. If you are sitting in front of a desk for 8+ hours a day looking at a computer monitor, then stretching is of the utmost importance, as well as fresh air. Exercise outside is best  as nothing can trump fresh air, which will also help you sleep. There are several hit and tips on GGP about how to motivate yourself to work out for extended periods of time.


2 – Establish a Morning Routine

A good breakfast will set you up for the day in terms of what you eat. But a good routine will set you up for the day in all ways. Establish a morning routine which incorporates a period of meditation, eating a healthy breakfast, looking at the goals you need to achieve and saying positive affirmations. This will put you into a positive mind frame for the day instead of just rushing out the door in the mornings in order to beat traffic and make it into work on time. 


3 – Have a Skin Care Routine

Skin Care is perhaps the most overlooked area of physical health. The skin is the largest organ in the body. However, little attention is paid to skin care. There are ample opportunities to absorb much needed nutrients through the skin. The shower is completely under utilized and is a prime opportunity to allow vital minerals to soak into your skin. The shower is the ultimate form of skin care. Get an organic, high quality body lotion and just allow it to soak in. Your skin is “eating” the lotion in the same way that the mouth “eats” food. It is also very important to be aware of what types of skin products your skin care regime includes – makeup, sunscreen and hand lotions often contain harmful chemicals. Organic is best. 


4 – Eat healthy

This means an increase of fruits and vegetables, and a decrease in animals and animal products. It does not have to be a big deal, you can just give up sugar, alcohol and processed foods at a moment's notice. Simply stop eating them now and put focus towards eating healthy. 21 days is the time it takes to establish a habit. Thus if you can manage to eat a certain food for this time period it will no longer be a strain, it will be incorporated as part of your lifestyle.


5 – Drink Water

Aside from skin care this is perhaps the most overlooked area of physical well being. The advice to drink lots of water is well known. What is perhaps lesser known is that the quality of water indicates if you should be drinking it in the first place. A water meter can be purchased on Amazon for $10. The difference between drinking water with 0 Parts Per Million(PPM) and 200 PPM is quite literally the difference between drinking water that is pure and water that is poisonous. Most bottled water has PPM in the range of 200+. Test your shower water as well as the skin is efficient at absorbing water. 


6 - Destress

Stress is touted often as the main cause of disease and mental illness. There is never any reason to stress. Even if it's a self help tip such as to drink clean water, do not stress if you cannot put the tip in practice right now. Do what you can when you can and don't stress about the rest. 

7 – Unplug

In order to engage in maximum productivity it is best to know how the mind works. Study after study has proven that best results are achieved by 40-50 minutes of focused attention, followed by 10-15 minutes of focused relaxation. Thus even if you feel you could work for longer than 50 minutes it is best to stop for a few minutes, take a few deep breaths, relax completely and utterly and resume work after your relaxation period. Most people actually take their work with them on their break, as their work related thoughts keep replaying in their minds. This is counterproductive. Time off is essential for mental maintenance. 


Summer is just around the corner and it is getting warmer and warmer. That means here In Canada we can start exercising outside.

So here are my: Top 5 Benefits of Exercising Outdoors

Sorry gym rats but there are more benefits of exercising outdoors than indoors. Summer weather is upon us and there are so many activities you can now take outdoors. Running, swimming, park workouts, beach workouts and cycling are amongst the activities you can do outdoors when the weather cooperates. There are a vast number of benefits to taking the workout outside and here are our Top 5:

1. Sun exposure increases vitamin D levels in the body and helps optimize hormones.

2. Oxygen levels are higher in the fresh air outdoors than indoors.

3. Exercising outdoors has been proven to make you happier and lower rates of depression.

4. Outdoor greenery can raise serotonin levels.

5. There is more sensory stimulation with exercising outdoors than indoors.

VITAMIN D

According to the Vitamin D Council, the sun is a good source. Vitamin D is also especially important for good overall health and strong and healthy bones. I also helps fight infection by helping your in the muscles, heart, lungs and brain work optimally. According to the Vitamin D Council “a lack of vitamin D has also been linked to some other conditions such as cancer, asthma, type-II diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s and type-I diabetes.”

OXYGEN

Outdoors air has more oxygen than the air we breath indoors. Indoors the air can be destroyed by tobacco smoke, city smog fumes, re-circulating air in buildings, improper ventilation, exhaust, and other pollutants. Aqua 4 Balance states that ome of the bad side affects from a lack of fresh air are caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain include, fatigue, drowsiness, dullness of mind and irritability.

DEPRESSION

Nature increases positive thoughts and feelings of happiness and well-being. Exercising outside has been shown to reduce depression or symptoms of depression. Research has shown that exercise is an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression. A current study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, followed a similar method to one from 2008 that showed that a one-hour walk in a woodland park improved memory and attention. Web Md states that endorphins that are released during exercise trigger  “a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. For example, the feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as “euphoric.” That feeling, known as a “runner’s high,” can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life.” Regular exercise has been proven in studies to reduce stress, ward off anxiety and feelings of depression, boost self-esteem and improve sleep. 

SEROTONIN

Serotonin levels are increased when you exercise outdoors or in green spaces. What is serotonin you ask? According to Australian Lifestyle  serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is important in appetite control, sleep and our general metabolism.

SENSORY STIMULATION

The outdoors is constantly changing. You see birds, as you walk terrain changes, people you walk by have different faces, there are sounds and smells. Exercise is beneficial for physical and mental health and sensory stimulation can improve the quality of life for the average person and especially people with mental dementia according to Alzhemers.Org.

We hope that these 5 benefits of exercising outdoors motivated you! Don’t you just want to grab a pair of runners and hit the park for a workout session. Get up, get outside and get active!

I am going to make blogging a daily thing from here on out. Since pre covid I have been inattentive to this blog and my own passions for helping people become the best version of themselves. And that is partially due to the fact I wasn't being the best version of myself. I was in a bad place after a bad relationship and a bad breakup and multiple unhealthy competition preps.

I am making 2024 my mission to find myself again and get in control over everything in my life:

  • Personal
  • Professional
  • Passions
  • Bodybuilding
  • Blogging
  • Vloggng
  • Podcasting
  • Re-building my brand

I wan to show up as the best version of myself. But not just for me but for others.

What does that mean for this blog?

It means content in blogs, reviews, news and all things health and fitness. I love it - even if no one is reading this or seeing my content this platform, YouTube and my podcast are more like journals/documentation of things I love and enjoy. And if I can positively impact anyone while sharing then that brings me joy.

This post is to keep me accountable. So thank you to those who made it this far.

Meet the ISSA 2, FOREO’s New Generation of Revolutionary Toothbrushes
Merging Exceptional Dental Hygiene with Impeccable Style
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, 12 March 2018; The world’s biggest beauty tech brand, FOREO, has just launched the toothbrush of the future -  the ISSA 2, a sonic electric toothbrush that combines state-of-the-art technology with unparalleled durability: a one-hour charge lasts up to an incredible 365 uses. Setting a new global standard for advanced oral care, the revolutionary, new generation toothbrush has become a firm favorite of the who’s who of lifestyle bloggers and it doesn’t stop there -  the award-winning ISSA’s influence even extends to outer space, and in 2017 it made a cameo appearance in Episode 5 of Star Trek: Discovery.
An ultra-hygienic alternative to both manual brushing and conventional nylon-bristled electric toothbrushes, ISSA 2 differs from traditional models by way of its material; medical-grade silicone. In addition to the standard version with the hybrid brush head made of nylon and silicone combination , ISSA 2 is also available in an exclusive “Sensitive” Set which includes one hybrid brush head and one brush head made completely out of silicone for those with specially sensitive gums.
Providing a comfortable and secure grip on the brush’s ergonomic handle, the material presents several key advantages:
  • Soft, flexible brush head reaches all corners of the mouth
  • Quick-drying, non-porous and 100% waterproof
  • Resists the buildup of bacteria for up to 10,000x less bacteria than nylon-bristled toothbrushes
  • Soft silicone bristles are gentle on gums and won’t scratch tooth enamel
Designed to be used like a manual toothbrush, the ISSA 2 does not oscillate like conventional electric models. Instead it incorporates T-Sonic technology to pulsate at a frequency of 11,000 pulsations per minute for micro-sweeps that effectively, yet gently, clean teeth and massage gums. A superior brushing experience for a whiter, brighter smile, ISSA 2 removes plaque for total oral care and is particularly suited to those with sensitive gums, or for whom erosion of tooth enamel is a concern.
Like all FOREO devices, ISSA 2 comes with integrated and smart Swedish design. Its features include:
  • 16 variable speeds, as well as a built-in timer to prevent over-brushing.
  • Rechargeable via USB, lasts up to 365 uses.
  • Ideal for traveling: travel lock feature and no bulky charging dock to transport.
  • Savvy oral health investment: ISSA 2’s hybrid brush head lasts for 6 months before needing to be replaced, while the sensitive 100% silicone one lasts for the whole year
  • Two-year limited warranty and a 10-year quality guarantee.
Stylish and chic, ISSA 2 by FOREO also looks the part, and is available in four striking colors to brighten up any bathroom surface, with the Sensitive set coming in two vibrant colors.
FOREO CEO Paul Peros said; “With the ISSA 2, we sought to offer a brand new way of cleaning teeth that feels completely unique compared to anything else out there. From its state-of-the-art material to its revolutionary design, ISSA 2 remains a truly watershed product in a market that had seen little in the way of innovation for far too long. Star Trek got it right - the ISSA 2 is very much the toothbrush of the future.”
ISSA 2 is just one of FOREO’s expanding and innovative range of skincare and dental devices. Established in 2013, the Swedish brand enjoys global success and has won more than 85 design and beauty awards internationally. The ISSA 2 and the ISSA 2 Sensitive Set is available now at www.foreo.com for $169-$189.
New Book Reveals How To Eat As Much As You Want & Never Gain Weight - Interviews Available With Author  
What if you could eat as much as you wanted, all day every day, and never gain weight? No gimmicks, nothing unsafe. And what if it was among the easiest things you've ever done?  Maureen Anderson's book "The Willpower Workaround," readers will learn a new mindset to eating and living well.
Maureen Anderson Says:
One of the boldest moves I ever made was challenging the assumption that food should be a reward for anything. It's like a career consultant friend once told me: you need vacations the same way you need to breathe out after breathing in. Breathing out isn't a reward for breathing in. It's just part of the deal. When you make food a "reward" instead of a normal part of taking care of yourself, there's a tendency to dress it up, to make it "entertainment" (as Dilbert creator Scott Adams says).
We learn in the book that your initial success with permanent weight loss was based on winning a challenge. Do you have any advice for men and women who need a reward to stay on the path toward changing the way they eat?
One key to your success was focusing on how bad certain foods made you feel physically, like the hamburger headaches. Did you also focus on how bad you were going to feel about yourself when you indulged in junk food?

Why Are We Ignoring The Role Of The Food Industry In Healthcare Reform? Doctor Available For Interviews
 
  • Over the past two decades we have gotten fatter and sicker, but there has been another change. Our food by enlarge is no longer produced by the small farmer. Corporate farming has taken over our food supply. The farms have gotten larger and techniques to increase the amount of food while making it cheaper and produced more quickly have been the goal of the food industry.
  • The argument can be made that the changes in the way our food is produced has had a direct correlation with the rise in obesity, diabetes, heart disease and the ever increasing cancer rate. In addition, it can also be argued that government policies have empowered the food industry to adopt policies that are making us sick.
The government subsidy of corn has made it cheaper.
Clinically, high fructose corn syrup causes a sharp rise in insulin when it is consumed. This leads to insulin resistance which is one of the earliest triggers for diabetes. It is also addictive, the more you have the more you want leading to an increase in caloric intake and weight gain in those who don't exercise enough. Simply put - this is a vicious cycle.
 
Techniques to bring animals to market earlier have consequences. Cows have been fed corn instead of grass.
This diet change has had the effect of increasing the fat content in the meat leading to higher cholesterol levels with resultant heart disease. Efforts to increase the growth rate of chickens by pumping them full of growth hormones has increased their estrogen content and arguably may be increasing the early puberty in girls and feminization of boys and men.
 
Living conditions of animals increase the bacterial content in the food supply.
The rise in Salmonella and E. coli contamination of the food supply with recurrent outbreaks affecting the public are a direct result of the living conditions of the cows and chickens forced to stand in their own excrement before they are slaughtered.
 
Increasing antibiotic resistance due to farming techniques promoted by corporate farming industry
The use of antibiotics to control infections such as mastitis (an infection of the udder) in cows caused by growth hormone (bovine somatotropin) used to increase their milk production and the use of antibiotics such as streptomycin and tetracycline to decrease the prevalence of E. Coli infections is believed to have a correlation with the increasing antibiotic resistance in human infections. There have been studies that show a link between eating poorly cooked meat with resistant bacterial infections.
If we really want to get serious about decreasing the cost of healthcare, we need to have a conversation about the root cause. There is something intrinsically wrong about government policies that make it cheaper for us to buy junk food than it is to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. We will only be able to limit our costs by promoting prevention and wellness. Neither can exist until something is done about an industry that is given free reign to pursue profit over our health.

How to Combine Yoga and Weight Lifting for a Unique Workout Regimen

There are many different reasons why athletes and health enthusiasts from around the world have added yoga to their workout routines. In addition to improving your strength and flexibility, yoga can also have a positive impact on your mental and emotional health. These few tips will help you incorporate yoga into your workout regimen so that you can enjoy the countless benefits of this ancient practice.

Set Realistic Goals

Those who want to get the most out of their training regimen need to set goals that are both challenging and realistic. Before adopting any type of training into your exercise program, you should spend some time thinking about what you would like to accomplish in the coming weeks and months. Your goals might include improved flexibility for your favorite sport or better core strength so that you can beat your personal weight training records. Writing your goals down will improve your chances of success and give you motivation when you need it the most.

Create a Long-Term Routine

Choosing which workout you are going to do just before you start training isn’t a very efficient system. After creating a long-term routine, it won’t be as easy to skip a workout when you are feeling tired or unmotivated. An effective workout regimen will stagger various exercise in order to give your muscles enough time to recover. Most experts agree that you also need to schedule one full day of rest every seven to 10 days. On your day of rest, you should nothing more than light stretching or a relaxing walk.

Get Help from the Pros

Even though yoga is considered to be low-impact, you still need to learn specific poses and combinations of movements. Taking a yoga class at a local gym or fitness center is a great way to learn the basics of yoga in a safe and comfortable environment. As you master the basics, your teacher will be able to show you advanced movements to solidify your core, strengthen your stabilizer muscles, and improve your flexibility.

Don’t Ignore Your Nutrition

Your caloric needs will continue to change as you try out new exercises and get closer to your fitness goals. If you don’t have the option of hiring a licensed dietitian, then you might want to speak with a trainer about your dietary needs. Sticking to the right combination of fats, protein, and carbohydrates will boost your energy levels and give you enough strength to make it through all of your workouts.

Changing up your exercise routine can be challenging, but the only way to get results is to constantly push your limits. In addition to yoga and weight training, you might also want to consider adding a few cardiovascular workouts such as hiking, swimming, or riding a bicycle.

Denver, Colo. (January 31, 2018) – A group of seasoned wellness industry executives have joined forces to create the Wellness Tourism Association (WTA). Registered in the State of Colorado as a not-for-profit, privately-held organization, the WTA has been established and designed to serve this booming travel sector.

“Our mission is clear and concise,” says Co-Founder and Chairman Andrew Gibson, VP Wellbeing, Accor Hotels, “We plan to support and further the growth and development of the wellness tourism industry through networking, education, communication and marketing.”

The new association will be a network of and for qualifying members of the wellness tourism industry. Its objectives will help to define the industry, as well as educate consumers to recognize legitimate and credible wellness suppliers and operators.

Co-Founding member Tom Klein, President & COO of Canyon Ranch stated, “The WTA will fill a gap in this global industry by providing a credible and unified voice.” Klein added, “As with all associations, the goals and objectives will be determined by the members.”

According to the Global Wellness Institute’s 2017 Global Wellness Economy Monitor, the Wellness Tourism segment is a $563 billion industry -- growing faster than the tourism industry itself.  “It makes perfect sense to have our own association,” says Co-Founder and President, Anne Dimon, Founder/CEO of TravelToWellness.com “Especially since there is some confusion with consumers and travel agents as to what constitutes legitimate ‘wellness travel.”

Nilendu Srivastava, Managing Director of The Art of Living Retreat Center, a year-round wellness retreat facility in Boone, North Carolina is another Founding Member.

The association’s first tourism office member - the Monaco Government Tourist Office - will be represented by Cindy Hoddeson, Monaco’s Director, North America. The wellness history of this city-state dates back to 1860 and the Etablissement des Bains, Monaco’s first baths where people traveled to benefit from the curative powers of the Mediterranean.

Madeleine Marentette, owner of Grail Springs -- recent recipient of Canada's Best Wellness Retreat 2017 -- will also sit on the first Board of Directors - - as will Jim Forberg, Founding Partner and COO of Unicomm LLC, producers of the long-running Travel & Adventure Show and introducing a wellness element to their shows in 2018.

Wellness Tourism is not a new industry, as people have traveled both nationally and internationally with health or wellness the primary focus since the time of the Roman Baths. Today, the commitment to ‘health as your wealth’ transcends borders, cultures and ages, with many new companies flocking to the sector.

Membership will be open to qualifying destination marketing organizations, hotels and resorts, destination spas, tour operators, travel advisors, wellness educators and others with an interest in supporting the industry and helping shape its future and sustainability. Dimon adds that, “while ‘wellness’ is often thought to be a luxury category of travel, we also want to ensure we represent a diverse range of members across consumer segment."

Get Fit! How to Drastically Enhance Your Athletic Performance

All athletes want to live their dreams and compete professionally as long as they can. You have the skills, and you have impressed enough people. You know you have a fighting chance, but the numbers can be pretty harsh. The chance of making a living out of what you love is pretty slim, meaning you really have to do your best to make it. You have to push the limits at all times, and continue to drastically enhance your athletic performance. The following are some tips to help you do just that.

 

Enhance Your Brain

You might not think your mind has much to do with your athletic performance, but it does. Your brain is one of the most important parts of your body, and making sure that it is running optimally should help enhance your performance. This is why you need to stimulate your mind using cognitive training among other tools. One thing you can do is solve a complex puzzle in your free time. Playing strategy games can keep your mind nimble. A sharper mind makes it easier for your brain to make quick but effective decisions, which is vital for any athlete.

 

Eat Right

The body can only use what it is given, so making sure you are giving it the very best is crucial. This means sticking to safe, healthy, and organic food. Beyond that, it is also important to seek out foods that are known to help improve athletic performance, such as probiotics. These organisms can be found in fermented foods and drinks, such as yogurt or kombucha. They help the body digest food and absorb more nutrients than it would otherwise, which makes them quite important.

 

Get a Cellular Boost

Okay, you have taken care of your diet and are doing what you can to enhance your brain’s ability to think, but you can also address your cells. Companies dedicated to athletic performance like ASEA sell products that have the ability to optimize cells within the body. This helps cells perform at their very best. You will likely produce more energy and be the very best version of yourself by simply making sure your cells are in tip-top shape. You should talk to a health professional to find out other ways to boost cellular function.

 

Lifestyle Revolution

You are young and may be drawn to things that could be hurting your athletic performance. For example, many people stay up late and end up losing sleep. You cannot afford this as an athlete because your body needs sleep to repair itself after training or a harsh game. You also have to find ways to balance your emotional and mental health. Both of these are vital because they directly correlate with your spirit. Every athlete knows that the spirit gives you that last burst of energy or power when you need it the most. Consider joining a meditation class to help you stay grounded and peaceful, or practice yoga to find ways to keep your mind and emotional health in good condition.
