It was payday this week.
On a military post, that means stay out of the grocery store.
It means stay out of the gas station too.
But - - what does it mean for you and exercise? You've got some extra cash! You ready to lay it on the table for something new?
There are so many options out there. Exercise and weight loss plans and pills and liquids galore.
I cannot count any more the combinations of letters and numbers. It makes me dizzy. I applaud the developers of these exercise/lose weight plans because of two reasons. First, they usually have a Z or an X in their name to make things associate with easy or extreme, which ironically both appeal to the masses. And second, because they are a PLAN, which also appeals WIDELY (excuse the pun).
It's overwhelming to me (but don't think I won't take a page from their book if I ever develop one).
I also believe they should be thoroughly researched before they are attempted.
Allow me to repeat: thoroughly research before you attempt.
My other guideline is to ensure you do not become dependent on them. Use them, yes. Depend on them, no.
Use them for a kickstart, for a barometer, to shake up a routine.
Do not become dependent on any of them. Don't start to believe that you have to have a marketed plan in order to start. Not necessary. You do not have to have a marketed plan so that you have something to say in public! A plan helps keep you accountable, it helps to document what works, but that may not necessarily be in a pre-made one.
I am all for free exercise. For my clients, I always ask what they ENJOY. Don't put yourself in a box, whether it be someone else's well-marketed plan or someone's well-marketed machine. What do you enjoy? There are probably LOTS of things you enjoy. Write them down! They become part of YOUR PLAN (and if you enjoy pre-marketed workout plans, go for it).
Then you can name your plan :) I have lots of fun with that!
Just make sure it's got an X or Z in it.
And Happy Pay Week.
