Happy New Year, 2015 is here and now is the time to take charge of your life!

A new year is the perfect time to renew your thoughts and start over in areas of your life that you may not be 100% happy with. Take time to reflect on the past year and note these areas of your life that need a more positive, healthy approach. One of the first things that people think of is their personal appearance, exercising more and getting in shape, which is a great start BUT there is more to fitness than just picking up a dumbbell! You need to really set your mind to this lifestyle change and that starts with your personal outlook on fitness and health. The first effective step is to meet with a fitness specialist/health coach to assess your fitness level and current lifestyle, together you can figure out what motivates you and what makes you like or dislike exercising, what your caloric intake is and the type of foods you are eating, what triggers you to eat poorly and what has made you give up on your health goals in the past, many people will get frustrated and quit because they did not set realistic goals, they go in full force which has been proven to be an ineffective approach to any lifestyle change, these changes need to be slow and steady to be effective, working with a specialist means you have to be accountable, this increases your chances of success and your ability to stay on track and attain your goals.

So what are you waiting for? Claim 2015 as YOUR year to shine!
