Live Well, Play Hard, Have FUN…and get the RESULTS you want!
As a Personal Trainer in Calgary for the past decade, one of the most common excuses I hear is that people are tired, unmotivated and lack the energy to exercise. This becomes a habit that leads you down the slippery slope of weight gain, poor health, and unhappiness with your mind and your body. Short of hiring a Personal Trainer to pick you up and drag you through each workout, you need to figure out a solution to get your butt in gear!
The good news is that I have a simple solution for you.
I know a lot of lazy people.
People who would rather spend the day planted on their couch than anywhere else.
People who choose take-out over home cooked, every night of the week.
People who would rather have a root canal than go do a workout.
Sure, I know that we all have our occasional lazy day on the couch, but lately it seems that more and more people are turning laziness into a career.
What about you? Check if the following describe you:

You are not a stupid person. Not by any means.
Are you getting enough water?
In fact, it’s my guess that you’re healthier than most.
You probably exercise regularly. You watch what you eat. You keep up-to-date on the latest health concerns. You don’t binge on sugar.
And you never – ever – eat fast food. Well, almost never.
But you do have a few unhealthy skeletons in your closet -ones that you probably aren’t even aware of.
The following 5 Stupid Things are frequently committed by health conscious people. Once you break these bad habits, you’ll find that achieving your weight loss goals just became a whole lot easier.
1. You’re Dehydrated
You shouldn’t wait until the feeling of thirst or dry mouth hits you, at that point damage has already been done. Instead, constantly rehydrate throughout your day to avoid dehydration.
The best way to do this is to incorporate water into your daily schedule. Have a water bottle at your desk and train yourself to sip on it often, and get into the habit of drinking a full glass of water with each meal and snack. The rule to aim for is…
You Are What You Eat!
Take a walk through any gym, and you’ll notice many mistakes. Mistakes that waste time. Mistakes that put people in danger. And mistakes that are just plain stupid. Maybe you even make a few of these mistakes yourself.
By avoiding these common blunders, you’ll put yourself on the fast track to results. Check out the following 5 fitness mistakes and the solutions you need to avoid danger and to get fit fast.
The goal is to challenge your muscles, not to simply go through the motions. If you are able to complete 15 repetitions easily, then the weight is too light. On the flip side, if you aren’t able to perform an exercise through its full range of motion, and find yourself cheating on form, then the weight is too heavy.
The correct weights will feel challenging by your last few repetitions, but won’t force you to sacrifice form.
You may have noticed that most people do the same exercises each time they visit the gym. Maybe you’ve been doing the same exercise routine as long as you can remember – if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it, right?

A study by the International Governing Body IDEA found that less than 20% of people in health clubs were actually getting results they were satisfied with. But of those who were, over 80% were working with a personal trainer!
