 In my career as a Personal Trainer, I am asked all the time about ways to insure the success of any fitness program. While there are several factors to help make a fitness program effective, today I wanted to focus on one of the most important and hardest thing you can do to help stay
 The new year is finally here. It’s a new start, a clean slate and a fresh new page. So in celebration of this, I wanted to share with you a formula for setting fitness goals that would make them easier to reach.
I call it S.M.A.R.T. goal setting: S: specific, M: measurable, A: attainable, R: realistic, T: time-bound. Let’s take a typical new-year resolution: “I want to lose weight and be healthy” and try to apply the S.M.A.R.T. approach to modify it.  How to Make it Fun, Rewarding, and COOL!
So, it’s dipping in the 40s tonight, is that a reason to put outdoor exercising on freeze? Well, with the right preparation, the answer is: No. Here are few recommendations to consider for a fun and safe cold-weather workout:  (As of Sept. 22nd it’s only 100 days to the new year!)
I know you are probably thinking “What? A New Year’s Resolution in September? What’s going on?” I say “Why not!” On Jan 1st of every year millions mark the day as a fresh start and make resolutions to exercise more, lose weight and eat healthy. Then reality kicks in on Jan 31st (4 weeks later) when the  COVID19 has affected all of us in one way or another. Whether it is a job uncertainties, health worries, or simply the fear of the unknown, the stress from all of it can be overwhelming. According to the American Institute of Stress, 83% of US workers suffer from work-related stress and nearly 55% of Americans stress during the day. While it's impossible to eliminate stress, coping and managing it effectively is possible.
