DISCIPLINE is doing what needs to be done, even if you don't want to DO IT!

Get off your butt and if you're still lost call me and I will point you in the right direction!

10 to 1 challenge! 10 jumping split squats 1 burpee 9 jumping split squats 2 burpees 8 jumping split squats 3 burpees... ...you get the pattern... all the way to one. Time yourself and work on improving that time with your strength training workouts by adding plyometrics and high intensity intervals. Good Luck!

Healthy Snacks 1. Popcorn - obviously not doused in butter. Try my favourite: light coconut oil, nutritional yeast and salt. 2. Avocado - loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids 3. Banana - high in the mineral potassium and pectin a form of fibre 4. Unsweetened Greek Yogurt - contains probiotic cultures, and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein than regular yogurt... 5. Dark Chocolate - a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments See more

Did you workout, today?

My favourite Tabata routine Tabata: 20 seconds WORK 10 seconds REST consecutively for 4 minutes//8rounds Arms - Push-ups... Core - Plank climb Legs - Squat jumps Glutes - Split Squat * switching legs each round 1 minute break between each Tabata set and you've got a 20 minute home workout - no equipment required! Count your reps and repeat this workout every other day. Watch your reps increase as you strengthen and tone that body of yours!

Work for STRONG not skinny! Set up a routine for 30 days, it will be hard and you wont always want to go but if you give it 30 days you'll get yourself in a good habit and you won't want to miss a gym day. It's your life, only you can make a change.

I've been making lot of excuses for not going to the gym lately but I told myself today to go for a ten minute run. It turned into a 30 minute run and a 30 minute workout. Make small attainable goals and see how far they take you!
