Five Fitness Secrets for FASTER Results

Use your EMOTIONAL TRIGGER to get fit

Studies show that people who successfully transform their bodies are set in action by some sort of emotional trigger that helps to clarify their reasons for deciding to make change. Researchers discovered that any event which triggered strong emotions such as alarm, embarrassment, shame and/or fear actually inspired people to change their body and lifestyle. Find your emotional trigger and use it to stick to your fitness and nutrition program.

MODIFY your workout

Don’t do the same workout over and over. You’ve got to switch things up to keep it interesting and to keep your body guessing. This will promote better fat-loss and muscle-toning results in less time. A simple way to vary your routine would be to make just one change every time you work out. For example, do a different exercise, add on a little more weight, run a different route, etc.

Hire a PERSONAL TRAINER

A personal trainer can help you get the most out of your training and make sure you stay motivated and on track for success. Make sure you hire someone that is fully qualified and has a good reputation. Top trainers design customized workouts that are fun and effective. Check out the elite training offered at CircuitFIT in midtown Toronto (www.circuit-fit.com).

CONSISTENCY is the key

You can be sure there will be days when you’ll have to skip your workout or have the occasional meal or snack that’s not part of your meal plan. If you get off track, don’t let it ruin your progress and slow you down. Enjoy the day off or slice of decadent chocolate cake, recommit to your goal, and get back on track.

SKIP the sugars

Sugary snacks and drinks contribute to weight gain and can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you're constantly craving sugary foods and snacks, you’re probably missing out on some key nutrients. If you’re not getting enough protein, healthy fats, calcium or calories in general, your body will crave sugars for energy. Love the taste of sweets but don’t want the sugar?
