Genetics can be unfair.

So, there I was the other day in the seat getting my hair cut.  The hair stylist walks up and says ” I’ll be cutting your hair today.  My name is Maria.”

Yes, she was 5’5″ and a complete knockout. Fit, slender and an angelic face.  Naturally, we talked and I asked, ” You obviously workout! “ 

All of the sudden, three of the hairdressers surrounding my chair busted out laughing saying ” Ya right!”.  ” She eats meatball subs, Mcdonalds blah, blah, blah….”.

To add to the shock factor, she was 41 and looked no older than 28.  I’m still blown away.  I was ready to pull my phone out and take a pic but really didn’t want to be arrested.

The moral of the story:genetics is a key factor in the way you look and can be unfair to most of us.  However, don’t get discouraged if your body doesn’t change overnight.  Just keep your eye on your goal and try to en corporate various ways to getting fit; yoga, boxing, pilates, resistance training, plyometrics, dancing, hiking,….and the list goes on.  Anyone can look their best if they try!

Motivation Tip:  Sometimes I don’t feel like running, lifting etc.. and I think to myself ,” What if I could never run again?  Do a curl again? Wrestle again? “  That question always puts adrenaline into my body and makes me want to take advantage of that moment I have to do the things I like to do.  Ask yourself, ” What if I could never _____ again?”  This is fitness related by the way, lol.

Halloween Tips that don’t work!

cadI got an email on Thursday, “  Doug, can you put up a post on Halloween Tips to abstain from blowing your diet ? ”

No, I won’t. lol.

You know why?  People will do what their going to do no matter what you say!  Here’s some good ones I’ve seen on the internet or tv!

  1. Eat a full balanced dinner ( ya right)
  2. Have a big glass of milk and a peanut butter sandwich! So, you can throw up the candy on top of it.
  3. Drink lots of water! Ya, drink like a gallon.  Better yet. Put your mouth under the faucet.
  4. Ask a friend to keep you accountable! C’mon Make me laugh.  They forgot to mention giving each other piggy back rides and playing hop scotch.
  5. Separate the unhealthy from the healthy candy! Is their healthy candy?
  6. Give apples and raisins to the little ones?  So, your house will get slammed with eggs.

Bottom Line….if you ate candy then go run it off or just eat a pizza.  It’s up to you.  Just don’t cry when you can’t move the next day or the scales tip north.

Don’t worry! Train hard and enjoy.

Please give me some good tips for next year.  :)

Music is the Key to Increasing Your Workout Intensity.

Training intensely is one of the keys to burning lots of calories and reving up your metabolism.  One of your best investments when starting or increasing the intensity of your workouts is to buy yourself an Ipod and downloading songs that get you going.   The University of Massachusetts, Amherst did a study about 15 years back proving that music actually had a profound affect on one’s workout duration and intensity.   You got to love science that justifies what we already know, lol.

So, what are you waiting for?  Download some great songs and train hard!  Play your own music….

Here’s one of my favorite New Songs that I Like…..Not that you really care :) .
