Is it choices or is it priorities?

People who work in the fitness industry work out all the time. It's their livelihood, job, paycheck. it's not the norm, although we think it should be...haha. SO how much is the average person supposed to work out?
Our governing body, basically says that we should be active every day, but engage in Cardio exercise for 20-60 min 3-5 times per week. HMMMMM, what about weight training? Where does that fit in. If you ask 10 trainers, you will get 10 answers.

There is no magic prescription, the key is staying active and exercising for health. I have said before it's about choices. People choose everything, their cars, their food, their home....but more and more I am realizing it's about both choices and PRIORITIES.

I talk to people about coming to class, but they have something going on, they have other priorities. Many of these people will work out at times that fit in their schedule, and make time to do it. Which means they are doing it, just not in my class...Which is a good thing (mostly) But many others, that I know, just haven't started it. I am not judging, just stating the facts. If you say you want to, but always find other important things to do, you will never work on getting fit. It HAS to be a priority, it has to come before the fun stuff. You have to MAKE the time. HMMM, a quick 15 min body weight workout instead of cruising your facebook page???

Just like the food thing. Eating healthy should be a priority, not to say you can't enjoy a meal out or a cheat day....but when the cheat days become cheat weeks.....and months. Instead of moving towards healthy, the needle is moving to illness.
I joke about facebook, but I love it too. I like keeping up with everyone....here's what I don't like....I don't like seeing my friends, the ones who tell me they want to get in shape, lose weight, whatever it is they want, yet they POST all over the choices and priorities they make, that are the furthest from what they keep saying.

In these cases I LIVE AND LET LIVE....none of my words are going to change their minds. People don't let others change them, they have to find it from within first. It has to be their first step....

So, yes, I get it guys...no posting will make you join me in class, want to lose weight, want to increase health....the only thing that will...is seeing me and others doing and wanting to join in. So, I will keep posting, I will keep working out and I will keep hoping I see you there with me....

have a blessed day.
