Fitness ...?! Well let’s start with the basics here. Ourselves!
I want to put an idea in your head that may be a game changer for you as it was for me. I’m sure you’ve heard the statement “do it for you.” I know I have and let me tell you that I disagree.

If you want to be a fit individual, it doesn’t matter if you work all day or travel for work like me. Here are some basics that helped me:
- Let’s take the “do it for you and anybody else” and change it to “I’m doing this not to fit someone’s idea of how I should look like but to be someone I and others can look up to”
- Keep your feet on the ground. Meaning be realistic, change won’t happen overnight. If you expect to start working out and look great in a week, then you are doing it for yourself and with the only intent to maybe not feel depressed about your bad choices. This won’t become a habit and won’t last.
- Like I said before, I believe we can’t get anywhere alone so if you have the opportunity find an accountability partner. It doesn’t have to be someone that works out with you all of the time. It can be someone who is a good influencer in your life and supports you through good and bad
- Get rid of all excuses. If you travel like me there are great websites with workouts where you only need your body weight and a can be done in the hotel gym or your hotel room. If you do not travel, there shouldn’t be any excuses!
- Commit to something you will do. Walk your talk. If you do not hold yourself to what you say you are going to do, then do not expect to see changes or be able to help others.
- Last but not least, stop telling yourself next Monday. Start now after you read this, go walk for 30 minutes, read about fitness, do something that gets your heart rate up! Check “On Travel” for some tips to accomplish healthy living and fitness.
