Powerful Weightloss Tools!

Want to look the best you've ever looked? Feel better than you've ever felt? Be the best you you've ever been?

I'm sure the answer is YES!

How to do it you wonder?

By Effective Goal Setting and Pre Empting Excuses. Sounds simple, but don't underestimate the power of these tools.

Here are 3 steps to getting you closer to a healthier, happier you!

1.Goal Setting. This is the most important of all 12 principles! Without a clear goal, then you can not have clear direction. The most important thing about goal setting is that it is realistic and very specific. For example it's not enough to just say you want to lose weight, or even to say that you want to lose 10lbs.

Here's what to do:

Choose a date in the future including the day, month, and year; it's a good idea to choose a date that may be significant to you or a date that's linked to special event.
Next describe where you will be when you know you have achieved your goal. Will you be in your room in front of the mirror? Will you be sitting at your desk in your office? Be specific!
Finally how will you know you achieved it. Will you be doing up your belt and realise you've had to tighten it a few notches? WIll you be putting on your favourite outfit and realise if fits perfectly? What will you look like and feel like from head to toe?
Get the picture? Start to live that moment as if it has already happened.

2. Visualise Your Goal. It's critical that you don't go through the hard work of setting your goal simply to forget about it. Visualise it every single day! Choose a time in the morning or a time when you're on your way to work, basically a time when you know you have a few minutes to reflect on and live the moment in which you have achieved your goal.

3. No Excuses. At the start of each day think of potential moments or situations that may put you off track. Come up with a plan before they happen. For example if you know you have to meet a friend for dinner, think ahead and choose a place that you know will have healthy meals that you can choose from. If you know you're going to have a busy evening, fit your exercise in to the morning or at lunch. Be one step ahead, all the time!

I know this is just the start of a HEALTHIER HAPPIER YOU! Go for it! Give it a try

Fix your broken bum!

If you work long hours in an office and spend a great portion of that time sitting chances are you're suffering from a broken bum!

A well functioning bottom is crucial for good posture. Your glutes are the largest mucle in your body, they're responsible for stabilising your hips and protecting your lower back. Chances are if you suffer from lower back pain or knee problems the reason could potentially come down to your glutes not working properly.

What to do? Here are two very effective exercises that will not only fix your bum to improve your posture and hip stability but will have you looking great in those jeans!
