Set Yourself Up for Success
What if you were able to remove each and every excuse ahead of time? Well you can!! Take time to sit down and make a detailed list of every excuse that you plan to come up with to prevent actualizing imaginary you and resolve these ahead of time.
Know Your Currency
The fact is that those highly driven for fitness are already moving and fit. It is the rest who need to set their alarm to their favourite workout track, watch educational videos daily, buy a new outfit they can't fit into yet and/or hire a professional to keep them accountable. Outsmart your imaginary self!

"There is no better time for a life changing relationship” and even great coaches need coaches. We all need to be led and inspired by others to make the right choices from time to time. Whether it be your local Kardish representative, personal trainer or nutrition expert, professionals in the field of health and wellness can be relied upon to always keep you moving forward on your journey to a better you.

Start TODAY - Often I hear "I'll start Monday" or "January this year will be different" If I could offer one and only one piece of advice it would be to start NOW! This doesn't need to be a complicated plan.
Add in a walk, make a healthy salad for dinner or up the intensity of your workouts...TODAY.
This would bring me to my second piece of advice. Keep it simple. Try not overcommit to too many new routines or challenges at once. Simplify and focus on one goal at a time.
Break down your big goals into small manageable goals and celebrate them as you reach them along the way. Focusing all of your time and energy on your long term goals may get frustrating. Celebrating small goals you reach along the way will improve confidence and give you the motivation to keep going.
