Support channels for your fitness goals

Hello, So you tried to get all of your friends and family to workout with you or support you but it hasn’t worked out like you planned. Now what do you do?

1) Go to the website http://www.presidentschallenge.org/ and pick a challenge for you to complete. This site is really cool and you can even track your success. You can do these challenges all by yourself or you can even gather a group together to perform the challenge as a group effort.
2) Get a virtual Personal Training program. This is a program (usually 8 weeks) that a certified Personal Trainer creates for you. You and the Personal trainer communicate over email to track and support your goals together. Better yet hire a Personal Trainer that will assure you are never alone or lax in your fitness goals.
3) Send out a flyer to your neighbors and see if anyone is interested in creating a walking group for fitness.
4) If you belong to Weight Watchers or another weight loss group see what kind of eager members might love to have a workout partner. I am sure you will have lots of willing participants.
5) Team up with someone who will never say no to you for a good walk. Your dog.
6) Join a sport. Some gyms have racquetball courts, basketball, or even outside bicycling weekly events and almost all of them have single member signup sheets.
7) Join a group exercise class at your gym. If you have never participated in a group exercise class you will find that for the most part the group becomes very tight and supportive of each other.
8) There are a lot of websites that offer support specifically geared for motivation.

I have just touched upon a few ways to garner support your fitness goals when you feel all alone in your quest.

Next months theme will be (Making fitness a part of your daily living).

As always - I am available for personal training either in person (if in NJ) or over the web. If you feel you have stalled in your pursuit of fitness and need some expert knowledge to get you on track reach out to me.
