Now These Ladies Are Fit!

This blog post is just for fun – I am sure we could get our own version at the gym – both MEN and WOMEN. Sure would be fun – let me know if you’re keen and I’ll make it happen!

No, no, no I am not advocating we film our version with people in their underwear -that’s not the point! But we could have some fun with the concept!

1 Percent Improvement Is Easy

As a member of Geelong’s Gym, you know that consistency is the key to getting results. Dr Marc Dussault’s concept of the 1 Percent Improvement Doctrine is simple and straight-forward to understand and apply when you KNOW what to do. 1 Percent Improvement is NOT about doing something, but IMPROVING it 1 percent at a time. For example, if you are at work and you’re sitting down for 5 or 6 hours at your desk, a 1 Percent Improvement could be to…

Get up and stretch every hour – even if its’ only for 1 minute. It will revitalise your muscles and invigorate you to work better – BUT and there’s always a BUT… You actually have to do the stretching otherwise you THINK about 1 Percent Improvement, but unless you DO IT, you won’t get the result…

Not sure how to stretch? Guess what? We’ve made it easy for you to learn how to stretch safely without pulling any muscles with the Stretching Handbook.

Get your copy now and get started today by learning stretches you can do at work THIS WEEK.

I know this sounds simple because it is.

You know how hard it was to come to the the gym the first time… and the second and third time…

In fact I am sure you’ll agree it took about 3 weeks for you to really feel GOOD about it and then start to LOOK FORWARD to coming in…

That’s called creating a positive habit and even a positive addiction.

It all starts with 1 Percent

I’d love to hear YOUR 1 PERCENT IMPROVEMENT HEALTH AND FITNESS IDEAS.

Post a comment to this blog post and I’ll share them with everyone!

When would NOW be a good time to start going to the gym?

The Center of Disease Control and Prevention states that most adults just need about 30 minutes of moderate exercise, five times a week to stay healthy. This moderate exercise can include taking a brisk walk, dancing, swimming, cycling, or even walking your dog! What you’ll realize is that packing in 30 minutes of such activity should not be an issue at all.

Did you know that more than half the people who start a fitness regime give it up within less than a year. Almost 3 in every 4 men feel that they should be exercising more than what they do. Almost 100% of men admit that they have at times skipped workouts and opted for some other activity in times of a conflict.

It’s surprising that fitness takes such a backseat in our lives especially since an average adult male can save up to a thousand dollars in medical expenses by being regular with a fitness program.

The issue doesn’t only plague adults. With increasing dependence on computers and technology, outdoor games have become a thing of the past for many kids. Even in high school, only about 1 in 5 students is physically active and for only 20 minutes in a day. Can you believe that?!?!

The thrill of fitting into a dress that you have not been able to wear for years or the great feeling you have when you know that someone is checking you out is something that really can’t be explained.

So guess what? Get yourself to the gym NOW!!!!
