Many people want to believe that poorly designed “gimmick” machines are the way to get fast effective results in terms of health and fitness.  Further all over the world fad diets are all the craze with more and more people spending amazing amounts of money on these quick fix solutions.  “Gimmick” machines more than not prove to be both expensive and completely ineffective.  Fad diets on the other hand seem to give people short term relief from their health and fitness burdens but are not sustainable in the long term.  For an exercise and dietary regime to be effective it needs to focus on developing a long term lifestyle change.  Therefore your exercise and nutritional programs should be conducive with your work, your budget and most importantly your goals. 

To make your exercise and nutritional plans effective they must be specifically designed to how you want to live your life now and in the foreseeable future.  You must ask yourself the following five questions: 

These questions should guide you away from the thought of spending an initial large sum of money to get perceived fast results.  Further the answers to these questions should provide you with information from which you can develop a plan to achieve your goals.  Fast and effective results are possible with correct guidance and with the aid of professionals you will be able to maintain these results for the rest of your life.  When budgeting for your lifestyle change, keep in mind that knowledge is often the most inexpensive yet effective tool in changing and maintaining your body.  Simple exercises performed properly with minimal equipment often lead to the best results.  In terms of nutrition, a restructuring of your existing diet, will prove most effective in ensuring you can maintain a nutritional plan in the long term.

It is no secret that a healthy and balanced nutritional plan accompanied by a tailored exercise plan is the key to any health and fitness goal.  So next time you think about that quick solution think about how long you want your results to last.  In terms of health and fitness it would appear that sustainability is better than spontaneity.

Summer is here, and look at you — you’ve done it! You’re exercising more, you’re eating healthier — congratulations! You’re well on your way to living a healthier, happier, fitter life!
Here is a great technique to keep up that momentum and keep you moving toward your health and fitness goals — it happens to be one of the favorite techniques at SHE (Sports, Health and Exercise). We call it the “One Magic Minute– and before you roll your eyes, read on! The One Magic Minute is not a gimmicky program from a late-night infomercial. It’s really just 60 seconds of an easy mental exercise that will help keep you on track. It’s a technique that will remind you to be clear and decisive, and will keep you accountable to your action plans.
Here’s how it works. Set aside one minute each day — a slim 60 seconds — and schedule it for at least one hour before you have a bit of slack in your schedule. Maybe it’s early in the morning before everyone else is awake or in the evening after work but before dinner. Once you’ve determined that hour, spend one minute ONE HOUR BEFORE that hour to stop and think clearly about your work toward your goals. Hold yourself accountable. Ask yourself, “Did I do what I said I was going to do?”
If you did, spend that moment celebrating. Praise yourself for a job well one. Sing, dance, or laugh at yourself for thinking about singing and dancing. Whatever you do, spend 60 seconds feeling good about your success that day. If you didn’t follow through, then here you are — you’ve stopped, and you’ve acknowledged that — and look! — you still have time to make it right! Use that introspective moment to kick yourself into gear — take a look at your fitness blog or your journal — and figure out a way to earn check marks on your fitness to-do list. And hey — if you just can’t make it happen that day, take that moment to commit yourself to making tomorrow’s plan your number one goal for the day.
You are already on the path to a happier, healthier and more active you — you know that nothing is more important that your health. Keep it up, and use your new strength and energy to make a difference in the lives of your friends and family!
So make it happen every day — spend just One Magic Minute reviewing your progress toward a healthier lifestyle. Acknowledge both your successes and your missteps, and remember that your better health increased energy will be the greatest reward you can give yourself and your loved ones.
And well done — keep it up! You are on your way to living the butt-kicking life you’ve been dreaming of!
