When I know it's time to workout again

Let's just be honest. Staying in shape is hard work. There is no sense in arguing with the fact. It takes a lot of effort to work out and stay committed to it. It is so much easier to allow laziness to whisk us away like Calgon. How simple life would be then? Well if that's what you want from life then so be it. But if you are like me, I've never done anything easy. With that said I am not such a die heart that I can go months without working out. Even though I am a certified trainer. I do understand the rewards of working out, so that's why I'm at it again. My birthday is coming up and I wanna get this smoke train back to moving. I can always tell when it has gotten serious with my body. My tell-tell sign is when my body starts to ache and pain. Yep, that might sound weird but it's true. When I'm waking up with pain, or my knee starts hurting, or my back starts stiffing up or cracking when I move. I know the time has come to start Movin My Azz-etts. I start a little bit at a time. I haven't worked out in over a year. So right now I'm starting with 10 minutes of yoga. Then I do 7 minutes of a workout 3 times a week. My goal is to get up to 30 minutes a day or at least 4 times a week. I want to start running again by the end of September....Woohoo for me. 
Hey, listen I know this stuff isn't easy, and everybody needs support. If you are interested in getting back in shape and joining me in seeing what this body can do drop me a comment or email me at Movinyourazzetts@gmail.com. I would love to hear your input....

Let Get Ready for a New Lifestyle Season

Well, this is approaching the end of the third month in the new year. A new season is upon us, have you made plans to start to take control of your life once again? We won't be having any excuse for not getting out there and getting some physical exercise in your life.
The biggest hurdle is getting started. This is where I come in and try and assist you. First things first, Have you made up your mind that your gonna be like Nike and "Just Do It"? That is a popular saying but it is more than a slogan it is a call to action right now.
So if we have covered this hurdle the rest is downhill. There is no help in the world if you don't want it.
Second, you do understand that this is hard work, but you can make it as exciting and obtainable as possible, and we all know that hard work pays off in the end.
Last but not least, In this exercise the only competition is Yourself, this will be an exploration in "Self Love". this will be your end goal. Becoming fit, trim, & healthy will be the side effects of your efforts of "Self Love" & "Self Care".

D. That "D" stands for Determination. I am an advocate of learning to Love ourselves better. As women, we have been programmed to put everyone else's needs before ourselves. Just so you will know that it's ok. As we grow older we learn that it takes away from no one when we take care of ourselves. We learn that we are important also. Our hopes, dreams, health, and well being, is important too. Most of all it's important to you. But some of us have become so run down and sluggish because of our self-neglect that we may believe that it's too late. I am here to let you know that it's never too late. It is never too late to re-create yourself, with just one step at a time. I am here as a living testimony, that you have the power within to began again. Let's have a conversation. You can reach me by E-mail Movinyourazzetts@gmail.com.
Much Love & Blessings,

 Working out in this Heat? Are you crazy.....

Well I know that you may have notice, but it has been extremely hot this Summer season.
Like most folks, this is the time of year that we like to get out there in the fresh air, and warm skies and engage in some type of physical activity.
Due the very above normal temperatures outside, we may have played it safe and hung out at the beach, or pool, or staid indoors, enjoying the controlled environment of our modern world. With the outside temps starting your morning off before sunrise in the low 80's, and climbing. Getting no relief though out the day, even after sunset, when the temperature only  decreased to the low 80's giving the term "hot summer nights" and whole new meaning.
So if you are just like me, thinking too hard would caused you to breakout in a sweat, doing it on purpose by physical exertion was indeed out of the question.
So as a result our Summer workouts were delayed, if not flat out derailed due to the extreme heat. http://www.weather.gov/rah/heat
This excessive heat also gave way to the many excuses that we have already for not working out, my favorite is "It's too dam hot to be working out, I would die", etc, etc.
Well it may look like we may be getting our lucky break this week, cause the temperatures might be back to normal. With Cooler morning, and evening you might be able to get that walk or jog in. I would advise taking advantage of this while it last, cause this weather is so very unpredictable.
Always drink plenty of just plain H2O, to keep yourself hydrated. 

HAPPY RUNNING

Jump Start Your Transformation

My Mother always said "there is no better time like the present". So why wait till the New Year to make a change in your Fitness lifestyle, "START NOW".

Who says that you have to follow the rules, if you want to go outside, or to the gym, why not "START NOW".
The Kids are back to school in most areas, use that down time while the kids are occupied, and do something healthy for yourself.
Your Family will thank You
Your Body will thank You
and most of All You will thank YOU.
You indeed deserve it....
Now "Move Your Assettes"

Tis' the Season to Get Fit & Healthy

You may not want to think about it but, the Holiday's are right around the corner. If any of you are like my friends, you have already started shopping for those special ones in your life.
 This summer we may have indulged ourselves in just too much Barbecue & potato salad and have gained a few pounds. Hey I can relate to this fact, cause it has happened to me, but I'm thinking way ahead in getting myself back on track. The best way I know is by taking advantage of the opportunity that is before me, and workout now.  I mean that I am not going to let procrastination delay me any further, and just get to it. If I wait for the perfect time, I'll be waiting forever. Turning down invitation to parties that I want to attend, or not being able to fit in that pretty dress , just like last year. I don't think so, this is the Season to Be Fit & Healthy.

Extreme Heat and Extreme Workouts don't mix

I will admit that I am addicted to working out, and I feel like I have missed out on something when I don't....This can be really frustrating when I can't or shouldn't workout....For the last couple of week the temperatures across this country have been setting records for extremely Hot and Humid temperatures. There have been warnings about these extreme and dangerous heat, and weather reports have declared that staying at home and drinking plenty of fluids was the best way to avoid this and dangerous heat.... If you didn't have to go outside, they suggested that you  find somewhere cool and lay low......Well what is a health nut to do????
Well what I had too do was be very smart about what was most important to me, my health or my fitness???.....
My health won out  so what I decided to do was just give my workout a break.....Please believe I felt like I was missing out on something....I quickly change my mind when new reports started rolling in about athletes that were dieing in this extreme heat from working out....I thought to myself....this is the reason that I work out so that I can withstand extreme conditions and that I can endure them because I have conditioned myself to deal with the stress of circumstance.....Well listen people we are only human....when you workout you heat the body up.....so adding extremely hot temperatures to the mix is indeed very dangerous....and quite frankly just plan retarded.......
I even tried to work out durning the evening, when the sun went down...but on some nights it was still 80 degrees outside...and besides that, the heat was so draining that I couldn't even muster up the energy to even lift my head off the pillow....I even lost my appetite on some day's and only drank water or ate a piece of fruit....so that was a no go.....I knew that these temperatures could not possible stay this high for very long...so I gave myself a break and just chilled.....best decision ever.....
Two week later the extreme heat wave broke and I am back on my routine like nothing every happened.....and I feel extra great....I got over my momentary insanity with working out and opted for common sense instead of obsession.....it works for me.....I know it will work for you.....so to all my fellow workout junkies....just be smart, listen to your body, and just take it easy in this extreme heat.....You will live to work out again....I promise.....
STAY HEALTHY, STAY SMART....LIVE A LONG TIME
