Exercise Tips for Women

Create a workout plan. One of the main reasons why most exercise ‘plans’ fail is that there is no actual plan or strategy laid out for you to follow and abide by. It is important to write down a complete workout plan to follow in order to be much more motivated to strictly follow it. It is also important to plan out an exercise plan in order to know certain limitations and to assess which kinds of exercise you need.

Set realistic goals. It is perfectly good to aim high but it is important to make sure that it is completely attainable and not too far-fetched. It doesn’t make sense to stress out over trying to reach an unrealistic goal. If you are not used to running long distances, you may want to set a goal of 15-30 minutes of jogging three times a week in order to prepare your body well to attain 5k distance, for example.

Consistency is key. There is no point in creating an effective workout plan or setting realistic goals if you are not inclined to keep it consistent. The most important key in a successful exercise regimen is to maintain focused on the goal. Proper workout and exercise should be consistent and not only done for a certain duration of time.

Make fitness a state of mind. It is also important for you to see fitness not just as an end goal, but a way of life and way of thinking. It shouldn’t be treated as a one-time activity to lose a certain number of pounds; instead, it should be embraced as a way of life and should be integrated into your everyday life.

There are still a lot of other exercise tips for women but what you should remember is that it won’t work unless you are really focused and have adjusted your mindset to making it happen. Start today by creating a workout plan, setting goals, being consistent and making exercise and healthy living a way of life for you.

No Shame

This morning I went for a run and learned two things. 1) I will wear pretty much anything outside. Case in point:

2) It takes about 30 minutes for me to get over the “lead legs” feeling. I forced myself to walk up the giant hills three times. By then, I felt like I could keep going. Tomorrow I will stay out much longer.

It was incredibly chilly this morning and I debated wearing a hoodie for fear that I would get too hot. I’m so thankful I wore I it, it kept me warm and helped me stay that way without overheating. This outfit prompted me to purchase some new workout clothes.

Those shoes are a-mazing! They are the first pair of running shoes I’ve owned that prevent my toes from going numb. They are also incredibly comfortable. I purchased them at Shoe Carnival, but they are available here too.

Onward and upward!

Portion Control Tips

This post of portion Control tips is a long time coming and I hope it helps me as much as it helps you.

Damn,  tonight I overate…again.

Once every two weeks my family and I go out for dinner. We were finding that we were going out too often so we decided to only og out once every couple of weeks to eat better (restaurant and fast food tend to be bad) and to save money. One side effect is that we have complete control over what we eat.

Well tonight I blew it.

We went out for Vietnamese food and as always we order a few plates for all of use to share. I sure wish I would have written these portion control tips before I went out. I out did myself and ate twice what I should have.

I tend to graze throughout the day and my major meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner are fairly small but when I get to a buffet or get a chance to share food I do not share very well. My portion control without fixed portions is tough. I never really portion like my wife does, no measuring cups or anything but without a plate to gauge myself by I tend to be terrible.

Here are 5 Portion Control Tips

1. Drink 1 large cup of water 30 minutes before you meal – The water will fill your stomach a little and start you thinking about the size of your stomach.

2. Dish up all food at once – The problem with how I ate today or any buffet style meal is that you do not know how much you are eating. 1 plate for 1 meal will make you know what you are eating without getting distraction.

3. Eat slowly and concentrate on all the fork or spoonfuls of food – We are supposed to enjoy our meals but I know that when I watch my kids or even myself I will catch us not enjoying but instead racing through eating a meal. Food is not to be sprinted through but enjoyed. Take your time, enjoy it with you and your family.

4. Eat only until you are satisfied – Know when to stop. Having that water before and eating slowly will help you understand how much food you need and to stop on time. No reason to eat to much.

5. Remember that this is not your last meal – Enough said. You can eat again in a few hours.

I am hoping that these portion control tips will help you. None of them are very inspired or earth shattering but as 5 tips go they are great to help you to eat better, enjoy your food and never have an excuse to overeat.
