It may rain the rest of this week, but Sundeck season is right around
the corner. Look and feel your best over the next six weeks with Elite Trainer Grayson Fertig's guide to healthy weight loss, featured on Blisstree.com.
Grayson writes, "Losing weight can be a daunting task; it also takes a significant amount
of courage because it means that you are willing to say, 'I can do
better.' With that in mind, there is absolutely no reason to lose weight if
you’re happy with how your body looks and feels, and if your doctor says
your health indicators are all in shape. Make sure that you truly want
to begin, and if you do, you need to make a clear decision to change
your lifestyle in order to change yourself physically."

Try a New Sport
Did you make a resolution to improve your fitness
in 2011? Looking for a little inspiration to get moving? Here are five great
reasons to get in the best shape of your life this year!
1. ENERGIZE - Having a hard time getting to the gym
because you're feeling sluggish and tired? Well, guess what--exercising GIVES
you energy. So, head to the gym when you're in need of a physical and
mental boost.
2. FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF - Ask anyone who exercises
regularly (or at all)--it makes you feel better! Plus, what could possibly feel
better than the sense of accomplishment you feel when you reach or beat a
personal goal?
3. TRY A NEW SPORT - "Exercising" doesn't have to mean
hours of cardio on a treadmill or elliptical. If the traditional "gym scene"
isn't for you, try out a new sport this year. Go for a few rounds in the boxing
ring, try a boot camp, grab some friends for a few games of hoops or scale a
Rock Wall Spiderman-style!
4. WORK MUSCLES YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED - Staying fit means
keeping your entire body fit, not just certain parts that you work often. Sign
up for training sessions with one of our personal trainers, and you'll be sure
to work it all!
5. STAY HEALTHY - Hey, that's the overall goal, isn't it?
Do this for yourself--here's to reaching all of your fitness goals in
2011!
