What do you know? You know you should be doing some form of cardio 3 to 6 days a week. You know you should be doing resistance training 2 to 3 times a week. You know you should be taking your multivitamin every day. You know you should be drinking half your bodyweight in ounces of water per day. You know you should be getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. You know that you know a lot more than you give yourself credit for. So what’s stopping you for making the progress that you would like to make. The answer is not in what you know but in what you do. Today I will identify 3 secrets to bridge that gap, in future posts we will break them down more in depth. The 3 secrets are strategy, stimulus and support. Strategy -the step by step approach to behavior modification. Stimulus – knowing why you want what you want. Support – the environment that will fuel you to success.

Okay, it’s Friday evening again, and all bets are off. Or not. Don’t make every weekend an eating free-for-all. Truly, those two days of eating bliss can really undue the five prior days of hard work and discipline. If you really want to make progress, and not just maintain, toe the line on the weekends. If you feel you need a treat, treat yourself for just one meal, not all 6 meals. Have a Happy and Healthy Weekend!
