How to get the most out of your work out:

1. Eat right. Eat whole foods, Cook at home, and Use cheese as a spice.

2. Change your focus. You should exercise to feel better not just to look better.

3. Don't be afraid to work hard. If it's easy, it's not working.

4. But at the same time, don't be a perfectionist. By being a perfectionist, you will quit the first time you fail at something.

5. Make a plan.

6. Find a buddy. Everything, including pain, is more fun with a friend.

7. Be accountable. Whether you're logging your food and workouts online or reporting to your mom every night (what ever works), find some way to track your progress and hold yourself accountable.

8. Lift weights. Running may burn a lot of calories while you're doing it, but weight lifting helps you burn more calories all day long.

9. Give it time. People need about 30 days to adapt, 30 days to get in the groove, and 30 days to really push yourself and gain strength.

10. One size does not fit all.

I have incorporated these tips and they have become 2nd nature.  It doesn't happen overnight.  But, once you get into the groove, you will become consciously competent.  A healthy lifestyle is critical for successful aging.  Move your body every day!

I just finished my first 5 days with the Fast Track Guide from Focus T25 and replaced one meal with Vanilla Shakeology.  Posting in my challenge group gave me the focus and accountability to reach my goal.  I was able to shed 4 pounds and lose 1 inch off my hips.  These workouts are great because they're very effective and efficient.  25 minutes, 5 days per week.  These workouts are tough, Shaunt T's not foolin around.  To get results, you have to go outside of your comfort zone.
