How to start your new healthy lifestyle

Everyone has been there. The point in their life where they stop and realize they need to be healthier or want to change their body for the better. The hardest part for most people is figuring out where to start! Who do you go to with so many options out there? Which plan do you follow with so much information on the web and social media. My recommendation is find someone local who has experience and credentials. Also make sure they are fun and motivating. Getting screamed at or being bored out of your mind will crush your workout dreams real quick. Following the latest trends typically will last in short lasting results and potential injury. Regarding the web, please do NOT believe everything you read!! A good majority of the information you see is incorrect and misleading.

That being said, if you are interested in getting started and are in Rochester, NY, come see us at Optimum Results.

The longer you put if off, the longer you will wait for that new healthy body you have been talking about! Have a happy and healthy day!

Build a support team to help reach your goals

Whether you are starting a fitness routine or trying to improve a current one, it is important to have support to keep you on track. A trainer is a great start because they are there specifically to guide you and customize a proper program for you. They will encourage and motivate you to reach new levels. On top of that you should find friends, family or co-workers who will support you and help you keep a positive mind frame while you try to achieve your goals. It is very important to surround yourself with individuals who want to see you improve your health. This way when you hit a hurdle, they can help you overcome it and keep progressing forward. If you are on facebook “like” our business page OptimumResults (located at the bottom of our home page) where we post fitness and nutrition tips and motivating posts. That way you will have encouragement from social media as well. If you need help customizing a program contact us and we will get you on your way to a healthier body!

Accountability

The state of being accountable is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions. This is extremely important and beneficial when trying to reach your goals. It is very easy to get off track and start losing sight of the goals you are aiming for. Having a personal trainer or fitness group with similar goals not only helps motivate but will keep you accountable! We are here to keep you focused and get you to your ideal healthy body.  If you need a jump start or help reaching your goals, contact us today! If interested we always have clientele who don’t mind a workout partner as well.
