Hello Atlanta Personal Training group and friends, I found a great article in Webmd, the link is at the bottom of the page. So many of my personal training clients ask me how do I keep up my fitness and exercise rountine, here are some great thoughts on the subject, now have a great work out. www.fitnesswithjeff.com, Atlanta

How can I avoid falling off my exercise routine? Answer:
Sticking with your exercise program regularly and consistently is your best bet for overall health. While there's no specific danger in starting and stopping over and over again, it's important to set personal goals and identify what motivates you to exercise. Even if there's been a long lapse in your sessions, you should do your best to get back to regular exercise as soon as you can.

For some, it's disease prevention. If a close family member has been affected by heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, or cancer, that may be what motivates you to stay healthy and avoid the same path. Regular exercise reduces your risk of developing these and other diseases and will help you maintain a healthy body weight.

For others, living longer could be a motivator. Research has shown that exercise may extend the years of your life. It can greatly enhance your quality of living, too, by making regular day-to-day physical activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and vacuuming easier.

How you start an exercise program may greatly determine whether you stick with it. If you have started programs in the past only to quit a month later, pay careful attention to the following tips:

Set realistic goals. Don't try to run a marathon or lose 10 pounds in a month.
Begin slowly and try a number of different exercises. Limit the length of each session.
Use visualization daily: Picture yourself enjoying your workout and then feeling great when you've finished.
Schedule exercise and make it a top priority in your life. Write it down on your calendar and keep a daily exercise log.
Identify one exercise that you enjoy doing on most days. If you're traveling, Find a fitness center at the hotel, go for a swim, or take a long walk.

Buying an exercise tape that you find entertaining.
Scheduling several sessions with a personal trainer.
Joining an exercise class that has a lively instructor.
Overall, it's important to not get discouraged if you miss a week or two of exercise. It's never too late to get started again. When your program gets derailed, try to figure out what went wrong and learn from your mistakes. Best of luck and keep exercising!

Running Buddy, Running with a fitness pro

Hello Atlanta Fitness group, I've had several clients over the years as running/ jogging buddies. The advantages are to have a experienced runner with you to work on running techniques, propper breathing, and running drills etc. People tend to do more when pushed rather then just running at there own pace. Saftey and security, Having 2 people running together are more likely to see you, I have a client i'm currently running with 3 mornings a week at 6:30, she lives in area that is fairly dark and issolated area, I know that she feels better having me out there to accompany her on the runs. The last advantage is that this is a appointment that you have to keep.
