Make up your mind
Before changing your body, it's essential to change your mind. Over the years, many of us have picked up bad habits leading to unhealthy lifestyles. Maybe it's the lack of exercise or poor nutrition? No matter what the cause of your previous failures was, you must come to the conclusion that fitness is a total lifestyle change and health should be your number one priority. In order to make this body transformation, you must be convinced 100% that this is what you want. If there is any doubt, you'll be making the same resolutions again for 2011!

Eat Good Food
Proper nutrition plays a big part of whether or not you'll reach your fitness goals. Individuals who stick to a sound eating plan obtain faster results. "You can't out-train a poor diet." In other words, it doesn't matter how much you exercise, if you don't eat well, your results will be hindered. A simple eating plan should consist of fresh fruits, vegetables, complex starches and lean proteins. Definitely cut out the useless sugar and junk foods. They contain empty calories with no nutritional value, not to mention the fact that they are loaded with harmful chemicals and preservatives.

Crank up the intensity
It was once thought that slow aerobic type training was the best way to burn fat. But recent studies have shown that high intensity interval training burns up to 9 times more fat then cardio. This means that your workouts should be shorter and more intense to deliver better results. Interval training consists of high intensity exercise for a short period of time (30-60 seconds) followed by rest. The total intensity of the workout can be adjusted by varying the length of the work and rest periods. It's best to choose several challenging exercises and perform them repetitively for 20 minutes, 3 days a week. Go to www.alloutfitnesscamp.com for workout examples.

Go to Fitness Boot Camp
Most people ended up quitting their fitness goal for one of two reasons.
1. They don't know what they are doing so after a few weeks they get hurt or don't see anymore results.
2. They have no accountability or motivation. As nice as many fitness clubs are, they don't give much guidance as to what exercises to do & how often.
Personal trainers are great but with today's economy the costs of the sessions can add up quickly. A great solution to this dilemma is to enter fitness boot camp, such as All Out Fitness Camp in Boone, NC. There clients receive quality workouts with the support of an encouraging instructor, but in a group setting which keeps the cost way down. This team environment provides enthusiasm, accountability, healthy competition & motivation.
