30 Second Fitness Tip : Think One Step Ahead

Why do you skip your regular workout?

Something comes up, right?

What if you know something is coming up tomorrow, do you still end up skipping your workout?

If you don’t plan ahead you probably will.

Many things which seem to “crop up” can be dealt with if you think about them in advance. For example,

If you know that you have to be out of the house early, get things ready the night before so you still have time to do your workout.
If you know you’ve got a meeting which might run into your lunch hour, go to the gym before work instead.
If you think you’ll be too hungry after work to go training, take a light snack in your gym bag.

The same holds true for all kinds of diet disasters

If you know you’re likely to eat the bread basket empty never turn up at the restaurant table starving hungry – eat an apple before you go
If you can’t stop eating chocolate once you start buy a tiny individual chocolate bar instead of the mega bargain size
If you will come in from work starving hungry and eat the fridge empty while you’re cooking – have some chopped veg in he fridge ready to nibble when you come in (and hide away everything else)

A bit of forethought can go a long way towards helping your success…
