We all look for motivation from one another; I often look to Todd Durkin and Fitness Quest 10 for some of mine. (I remember meeting him and telling him a brief bit about myself: he stepped back, looked me up and down, and said “you are UNIQUE!” so I’m now a lifelong fan.)
Todd and his FQ10 crew did a Top Eleven Tips for 2011 last week. Wouldn’t you know; I recognized a lot of them from some of my 2010 blog topics! Great minds think alike no matter how unique they are, I guess.
Here they are:
- Do Treadmill Interval Sprints to recruit new muscles and activate new areas you aren’t used to using.
- Focus on Nutrition since the three main aspects of fitness are (1) nutrition, (2) nutrition, and (3) nutrition.
- Find Partners who will help you show up to your workout and lend enthusiasm and support throughout your fitness journey.
- Mix It Up to avoid feeling bored with your workouts; try something new and have fun!
- Recover Just as Hard as You Work since rebuilding what we break down during workouts is essential to gain strength.
- Have Fun
- Stretch After Every Workout
- Change Things Up try a new machine, new move, heavier weights or faster or slower reps.
- Think Outside the Box
- Prepare for your life and your days: plan meals in advance!
- Stay Fit emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. You deserve it.
