Total Body Makeover Challenge- Getting Ready For Success

WELCOME!

* Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try!

Do you need a plan to get you back on track? Is the spark to try flickered out? Are you unhappy with your body, health and being unhappy? Then this article is for you. I am going to help you revive up your metabolism, blast those extra calories and we will even drop some inches. But most importantly we are going on a journey to a lifetime of health and fitness habits that will last the rest of your life.

You are going to gain energy, increase your endurance and feel more stronger and more confident that you ever have. I am here to motivate and lay out a fool proof plan where all the guess work is taken out of it. All you need to do is to push yourself in the right direction and I will do the rest for you.

Do You Need a Turnaround?

We all get discouraged and life tends to take us in the directions that we didn't intend to go. Maybe you were that person who has never been active or you just had a baby or maybe an injury has stopped you from exercising. Maybe your boss has you working over-time and you haven't had the time or energy to get motivated to exercise. 

If you have been planted in front of that TV so long that exercise sounds like a joke to you, then you are at the right blog. After staying with me on this journey and reading it daily, you won't want to be sedentary any more.  I am going to give you motivated tips that are going to get you moving more and keep you moving. One thing I ask is that...okay, a few things that I ask, is that you subscribe to my blog, take a before and after pic and comment and let me know how you are doing. I want to see the miraculous results that come from your commitment to follow the TOTAL BODY MAKEOVER. I will even post my results every Sunday  to let you see how I am doing....Deal??

Consider this blog your prescription for revitalizing your routine, getting through that plateau and seeing measurable results.

4 Weeks for Lasting Changes

What to Expect!

So you are probably wondering what you will be doing for the next 4 weeks. Am I right? I know I would be wondering.  This will be nothing like boot-camp or starving yourself but this is a realistic challenge that will build up your muscles, burn some fat and boost your metabolism and all you need to exercise is 1 hour a day for 6 days a week. That is 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training. One good thing is that you can break this up. You can do your cardio in the morning and your strength training at night, or vise-versa, or do them together. The choice is yours.

Every day I will lay out a plan to get you going and the good thing is you don't have to think or plan it. Just Do It! We will alternate between upper and lower body workouts and add core routines in there. I am also going to talk to you about the Run/Walk program that gets you involved not only in walking but will build you up to jogging too. There will be one day of recovery each week. If weight loss is a primary goal then I recommend you follow the customized diet that I will provide daily. The diet features a sensible mix of carbs, protein and fat. You will have 3 healthy meals and 2 sensible snacks. You will never go long without eating and never be deprived. I will give you tips to help you learn what foods to choose, what foods to avoid and how to make smarter choices that will give you lasting results.

I will also provide you an important part of the plan....mental fitness. Motivation is what gets you started and habits will keep you going. Half of getting into shape is all mental. Once you work past the mental part, it's all pretty simple. You need to connect your brain to my program and melt together willpower, motivation and the ability to focus and get through this. I will give you tips and strategies that will  get you started, secrets of positive self-talk and ways to keep feeling strong and how to form healthy habits for living a healthy life.

Share this information with your family and friends. Have them to follow along and motivated each other. The more we have on board the bigger the support system that you will have.

The Tao of 4 Weeks!

Why is 4 weeks the focal point of this plan? I wanted to length of time to be doable but long enough for you to see results to keep you motivated. You can really start to see noticeable results in your body and mind in just a months time...even sooner. I will tell you though real success requires work on your part. But have fun and you will find the results are more than you can imagine in just a short amount of time.

For the next 4 weeks I will tell you exactly what exercises to do, what you should be eating and how to stay motivated from morning until night. I will also share what is the best foods to eat before and after your workout and how to handle muscle soreness.

After a few days you will feel more powerful and stronger and will have the confidence and energy to complete the program.
