You Are Worth it!
As women, you tend to put yourselves, especially your health and well-being last on the list of priorities. This has to stop!
You are the caregivers, the ones who direct your families, teach your children and honestly lead the world. So how can you keep all this responsibility in check if you don’t put yourself at the top of the list?
Why am I saying this? You are worth the investment in yourself! In my “Shape-Up Bootcamp for Women”, I challenge women to put themselves first on the priority list. Why? Because if you don’t put yourself first and stay in top physical and mental condition, you cannot perform to the best of your abilities.
If you aren’t at the top of your game, how can you confidently teach your children how to be adults, run your family at top efficiency and manage your team for peak output?
How do you accomplish these tasks? Get in and stay in peak physical condition.
Why is that important?
When you are in peak physical condition, you are:
-
confident
-
energetic
-
productive
-
and virtually unstoppable.
How do you get in peak condition? Hard work, determination and having a plan of action.
Whether you choose to workout in the gym (or other facility) or at home, you can’t afford not to train your body. Training consists of developing and following a nutritious meal plan, performing strength training and cardio movements along with flexibility exercises. Your body is your temple and you only get one chance to treat it right. So don’t waste it.
If you haven’t been treating it right up until this point, it isn’t too late, start now!
It doesn’t matter whether you choose to hire a personal trainer, like myself, to help you push yourself to success, or you do it on your own, just do it.
Don’t “think about it”, “put it off” or save it for when “things ease up a bit”, you don’t have the luxury of time to waste.
-
Did you know that you can lose up to one pound of muscle each year after you reach the age of 25 if you don’t strength train?
-
Did you know that if you perform the same activities and eat the same amount of food from age 25 to age 45, you will wear 2-3 sizes larger at age 45?
So create a plan of action. Stop what you’re doing right now and schedule 2-3 one hour workouts for next week that involve strength training, flexibility and cardio exercises. The plan is simple, 30 minutes of strength training, 30 minutes of cardio and 5 minutes of stretching per session.
This is doable and you owe it to yourself and to the other people that count on you, be it your family, friends, co-workers, employees or even pets. You are what runs them!
You are worth the investment. Start today.

Carol, this is a key problem among women. You provide some important reasons for exercising as well as the importance in investing this time into ourselves.
I love walking, biking and finding stairs (at a parking garage, apt, or hotel) to get in exercise.
My main benefit to exercising is the spiritul cleansing and rejuvination I feel afterwards
