5 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Go to the Gym

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Toast Pop Posted in Health .

5 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Go to the GymSince you’ve signed up for your gym membership, you’ve had a few setbacks with meeting your weekly attendance goals. Before you throw in the towel, here are five ways to help rekindle your desire for going to the gym.

Set a specific goal. Are you seeking to release weight for an upcoming event, vacation, or simply to look like one of your favorite celebrities? Whatever your reason for doing so, it is imperative that you establish an end goal that must be accomplished by a certain time period. Many times people set and accomplish their goals, only to find themselves in the same position at which they started. To avoid such outcomes, you must develop a plan of action to help you maintain your fitness goal.

Establish realistic times you can go to the gym. Having a busy schedule is an excuse that is used by many persons who fail to meet their gym attendance obligation. When finalizing your weekly gym schedule, you should also create an alternative plan if you’re unable to go to the gym on the proposed days. With this approach, you’ll be able to fulfill your weekly commitment without falling behind. There may be times when you miss a few sessions due to illness or unforeseen circumstances. These should be the only valid reasons for your inconsistent gym attendance. Any reasons outside of these situations would only be considered as excuses. Another important factor to consider is the location of the gym. You’ll be more inclined to go to a gym located closer to your home or workplace.

Get a workout partner. This person can be a friend, colleague, or family member. He/She should be on the same fitness journey on which you’re embarking. Arrange to a time and frequency to meet at the gym. This can be morning or evening sessions for two, three, four, or five days out of the week. Make sure to select a time and frequency that works best for all parties involved.

Take before and after photos. As the saying goes a picture paints a thousand words. While the initial photos may not have an effect on you in the beginning, as time progresses you’ll see the major differences in your appearance once you follow through with your workouts and healthy eating habits. You can take pictures on a monthly basis until you’ve accomplished your fitness goal. Looking at your progression will ignite the desire to press forward and maintain your ideal physique.

Immerse yourself in a fitness-oriented community. Being around people who are seeking to improve or maintain their fitness habits will allow you to experience greater success, than if you were to spend more time with non-active individuals. Some of the latter may be your friends and family members. This doesn’t mean that you have to cut them out of your life, but you’ll have to make decisions along your fitness journey that may coincide with their plans. If a friend invites you to go to the movies at the same time you’re scheduled to be at the gym, you would have to choose going to the gym over going to the movies.

How Often Do You Snack?

Posted on March 26, 2013 by James Agee Posted in Health .

How Often Do You Snack? You just had that sinfully rich ice cream from Martine Lambert in Rue Cler for dessert and now you’re craving for those delicate artisanal pastries from Carl Marletti in Rue Censier in Paris. Paris is indeed a haven for all lovers of fine food and of course, all the fine things in life. And having a snack to go with your mid afternoon coffee is a practice beloved by Parisians and many cultures all around the world. Most of us try to get in three meals a day (some skip breakfast), so we compensate by snacking during the day. So here’s a little secret, you can actually snack more than once during the day and not ruin your diet. When you want to have a little snack and you want treat yourself, you can also visit Popelini in Rue Debelleyme for the best profiteroles.
Following a healthy lifestyle by watching what you eat is a bit of a challenge. Like playing poker, you need focus and discipline. You can now play poker without having to dress up and go to a real casino. But if you’re looking for the thrill of a live poker game, you can join the tables at Casino Croisette in Cannes. You can be a poker expert in no time when you follow these tips, and you can also be a master of your own diet when you know when the best time for snacking is. Always keep in mind that you can snack anytime you want as long as your last meal is at least four hours ago. If you exceed more than that, you risk of eating more than you should during your next meal. If you must snack on something substantial yet big on flavor you can try the famous artisanal baguettes and loaves from Pain d’Epis just around the Eiffel Tower and have some delicious savory treats like their fougasse and baguette royale.
Most importantly, you should snack after one hour of intense workout. Whether if it’s cardio, judo or pilates, your snack should be protein rich or you can also load up on carbohydrates. If you want to go the healthier route, you can have a protein shake, a tuna on whole wheat sandwich or hummus and pita that can be just as satisfying. You should also refrain from snacking between breakfast and lunch. People who snack between those meals also tend to snack during the midday so the calories add up and so does your weight. If you want to increase your fruit and vegetable intake, you can check out the organic goods and produce at L’Epicerie Generale in Rue de Verneuil, Paris.
