Make this the summer that the shirt comes off!
All you need is some focus, guts and determination. Oh...and some wisdom. Here are a few pearls of wisdom to help you get ready for summer:
Eat Healthy
Eat only fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and a little dairy. No junk food. No soft drinks. No booze. Eat a healthy satisfying breakfast every day.
Bust Some Iron
Get to the gym and blast out a workout at least 4 times per week. Be dedicated and tough on yourself. Go to the gym when you're tired. Get to the gym when your elbow hurts. You want it? Pay for it. Rep by rep.
Plan and Track
If you fail to plan: plan to fail. Set some butch goals for yourself and establish realistic intermediate goals. So...if you want to lose 20 pounds by July...break it down into 5 pound increments by set dates. Weigh and measure yourself. Reward yourself with a small (non-edible) treat if you think that will help.
See you at the beach!

Start Thinking About Packing a Six Pack Now
Now's the time to start thinking about March Break. I'm a trainer and I don't want you coming to me all fat and desperate in early February, complaining that you need to lose 25 lbs in a month. Profitable for me but painful for you.
Six Months to Success
Summer's over. You strolled the beaches with your tanned, tight bod. Let's keep it that way for the next few months. The heavy sweaters and long pants of fall and winter are not the time to hit the pizza and beer. Students - all the fun times and beer and wings with your buddies will add up to major grief for you in Florida next spring if you're not careful now. Career folks - Christmas calories count just like the rest.
The Plan
Weigh yourself today. Track your weight weekly over the next six months so that you know exactly what's going on with your body. Be very careful with your total daily caloric intake. Stay active. Walk, run, workout - whatever. Plan to get serious about training in early December. I know that's relaxed party season but trust me - it'll pay off in March.
Starting in December, we'll crank-up the training slowly so that you peak when you hit the beach in February or March. Start thinking about this now - there's only one March Break for you each year - you don't want to blow it.
More on March Break prep training in a later post.
