Exercise Takes Less Time Than You Think
Exercise is simpler than you think.
You do not have to spend hours at the gym every day to reap the benefits. It is consistency that matters!
50 minutes, two times per week done consistently overtime is enough to see change. After a years time that will be 104 workouts, a couple of jean sizes smaller, arms you’ll want to show off in sleeveless tops, and a new self confidence.
Stay consistent, schedule two workouts each week on your calendar and get them done. If you decide to add a day or two great, but you don’t have to live in the gym to see improvement.

A Cheat or Two Is Fine, An Entire Weekend Is Not
A Cheat Or Two Is Fine, An Entire Weekend Is Not
Four awesome workouts and five days of cleaning eating. You’re feeling good and a little proud of yourself. So you feel like you deserve a little reward for all of your effort.
The key words being “little reward”. Not dinner and dessert with friends followed by a night of drinking until the last bar in town closes and then hitting McDonald’s or downing a pizza before heading off to bed. Only to then wake up feeling like death warmed over and spending the next day on the couch eating hangover comfort foods.
Unfortunately for many this is exactly what they do and is why they struggle to see the results they want. Coming into the weekend with a daily 200 calorie deficit, or 1000 for the week, and then binging on 4000 extra calories over the weekend still adds up to a weekly surplus of calories.
A couple glasses of wine, your favorite meal of fish and chips or pasta, a delicious slice of cheesecake are all fine by themselves. The problem is when they all come together. They taste great in the moment, but are regretted later.
Enjoy life, don’t deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy. Just make good decisions around them and don’t undo all your hard work on the weekend.
