STOP YO-YO EXERCISING

Many of us have an idea of what we need to do to achieve a body that most people want. But......life has a tendency to throw us off track. Meaning we have every intention of doing good and being consistent when it comes to our health and fitness and as usual we chronically wave our eating and exercise regimes. People.... I get that we have busy schedules whether its work, family, traveling, etc. I get it, but you MUST make time for your health. We don't form a plan until its too late. Life is a struggle but that doesn't mean make excuses. Start off by setting aside a time in the day, whether its 10 minutes or an hour to do some sort activity.

I am just speaking from what I have experienced with my clients as a personal trainer. I have clients that I see on a regular basis 2-5 times out the week for months straight and then I won't hear from them for another 6 months or so. And yes, what we have worked on so long and hard for has returned. Listen people...the more you keep gaining and losing weight, the harder it becomes each time to lose weight. You want to stay consistent with your program and don't be afraid to ask for advice on changing things up.

There are many reasons why people yo-yo exercising:
1. Work
2. Bored
3. Finance
4. Lazy
5. No results
6. Family obligations/Relationships
7. Holidays
8. Travel etc

I mean the list can go on and on
Basically to sum up what to do about yo-yo exercising is to plan a realistic schedule whether its 1 day a week or 3 times a week and stay consistent with your routine. If you get thrown a curve ball in life, try your best to get back on track and continue. You can also hire someone to help you with a more aggressive program if you need the accountability. Stay motivated and consistent!!!!
