New Year, New Resolution...

    How many times have you set exercise, getting healthier, losing weight, etc. as your New Years resolution?  We have all set this resolution at least once in our lives unfortunately statistics show on average 70% of those individuals give up.  

    Why is that??  most people set lofty goals for which they would not achieve until the far future such as lose 100 lbs., drop 3 sizes, run a half or even full marathon.  All of these are possible but we need to set smaller goals which are attainable and we can celebrate the accomplishment and move on to the next level as we work towards that bigger goal.   So if you want to run a half marathon and have not been exercising at all you cannot expect to go out and run 5K/3M.  As long as you are healthy or discussed with your physician go ahead and do that 3 miles but mix it up with running and walking.   Walk for a set amount of time or distance than run/jog a set amount of time or distance, back to walk and run/jog and so on.

    Keep in mind we all falter or 'fall off the wagon' and you know what it's okay, LIFE happens be kind to yourself, brush off the negativity and start again! 

    Give this thought process a try rather than resolutions, set a new, positive 'intention'...

I intend to...
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables
  • Spend quality time with friends and family
  • An afternoon walk to break up the work day and get fresh air
    • Don't over think it 
    • Recall something you rarely do but provided you pleasure
    • Something that makes you feel good whether it is physically or emotionally
    • Write it down somewhere you will see it as a reminder
    • Share your intention with others for support

Happy 2021

Sincerely Rickie

  Resolution tips &            Bitecise workout     Whether it is the New Year or you have just reached a point in your life you are resolving to 'improving' something.  We make resolutions to improve ourselves, our lifestyle or financial status, regardless of your 'why' here are a few tips.  1. Create attainable goals, example: start exercising. Suggestion: be more specific and achievable.  Start exercising 10 minutes a day, 3x per week and grow from there. 2. Approach your goal as adding something positive rather than eliminating, example: eat healthier.      Suggestion: Include a vegetable in one meal a day, 3-4 meals a week.     Once these realistic goals are achieved re-evaluate and create your new attainable goal.  PLEASE prevent from creating a list of goals or to do's, approach one at a time, once you have reached your goal and it is sustainable then move on.  This is not pas...

      I don't wanna...     Here you can add whatever it is you just don't have the desire to do, whether it is a run, gym workout, etc.  We all have those days when you just don't have the desire and please remember rest is also good and important for the body.  Sometimes all we need is a little movement to get that adrenaline moving to get us started.  There may also be days where after that little bit of movement you decide nope not today and that is okay.          These bite-cise workouts are great options to kick start your motivation or to give you a short burst of movement to expend some calories and boost your energy levels and maybe your spirit.     This workout as always can be done with or without weights it does have a short warm up and some brief stretching.  Listen and watch for modifications to meet you where you are in your journey.  I have included the exercises below if you would like ...
