Consistent and
productive exercise is nothing less than - hard work.
It�s all about commitment, adhering to a schedule,
planning daily exercises and diets, executing all of
it and finally coming to grips with the fact that
changes to your body are normally slow and subtle.
This week we focus on Exercise Motivation.
Enjoy good health,

Rib stress
fractures, like any stress fracture are an overuse injury, secondary to
excessive stress on the ribs. They generally occur in the 5th to 9th ribs and
are associated with periods of intensive training, either on the water or on the
ergometer. The primary hallmark of prevention is avoiding excessive loading of
the ribs. Also, incorporate rib strengthening exercises into their circuit
training to strengthen the serratus
anterior. |

RE-CONNECT WITH YOUR VISION
Try to create a compelling vision of what you want to achieve that pulls you
towards it. Remind yourself why you are doing, what you are doing. What is the
end result going to be? Blow this vision up big and see it in full Technicolor.
You can make a collage of what your life will be like when you reach your
goal, or more importantly, who you will be when you reach it.
Another way of keeping it alive is to imagine seeing yourself in a film,
living the vision. You can alter the image until you are fully satisfied
with it and then step into the film so that you can experience it through you
own eyes and feel the feelings you will experience when you have achieved it.

Exercise Motivation
Consistent and productive exercise is nothing less
than - hard work. It�s all about commitment, adhering to a schedule, planning
daily exercises and diets, executing all of it and finally coming to grips with
the fact that changes to your body are normally slow and subtle. Sweating it out
on the treadmill or lifting weights in a gym is fine for the first few days of
an exercise program, but after that one needs motivation to stay motivated with
the same old boring routine?
Follow these simple steps to stay motivated towards your exercise program.
1. Find the right reasons to exercise: In order to be successful at any
endeavor, we must have a good reason for doing it in the first place. Exercise
is no exception. What will get you up in the morning on those cold, dark days
when you just want to stay in bed? Many people say "because I want to lose
weight" or "I want to be fit". While these are good goals, they are not good
enough reasons for long term success. You must dig deeper. What is important to
you? What do you value in life? Answer these questions, then see how a regular
exercise program can support your values.
