Tips To Get You Motivated To Hit The Gym!



There are many benefits to working out; I'm sure you know many of them are health related; but there are other benefits you may not be aware of.

In order to find the motivation to start a training program, you will need to know what's going to get your motor running. Here are some thoughts to get you started:

  • Starting a workout routine cultivates a new and inspiring lifestyle.
  • Working out controls your weight.
  • You don't over-eat when you are at the gym.
  • Your significant other won't accuse you of cheating when you go to the gym without her.
  • If you're single, you may meet your next girlfriend/boyfriend at the gym.
  • You and your significant other have something constructive to do together.
  • You increase in mental strength.
  • You increase in emotional strength.
  • Working out builds sexual stamina.
  • You increase in physical strength.
  • You improve/retain your health.
  • Working out builds masculinity (men).
  • Working out improves your physical appearance.
  • Working out empowers you - you are able to take on challenges effectively.
  • Working out increases your libido.
  • Working out raises your endorphins.
  • Working out boosts your self-confidence.
  • Working out slows the aging process.
  • Working out helps you sleep better at night.
  • Working out helps you perform better in all aspects of life.
  • Working out prevents diseases.
  • Working out is Anger Management! 
  • When you workout regularly, you show others that you care & respect yourself & they in turn will have a level of respect for you.

The final point (one of my favorites); no one shows respect to someone who doesn't respect themselves; working out shows others that you do!

Lovingly Remembering Ian K Morton

The Official Eulogy — Lovingly Remembering Ian K Morton on the 2 year anniversary of his last normal day. The first time I saw Ian was August 3, 1993 when I was moving into an apartment building he lived at in Lendrum (Edmonton). Yep, he was a gorgeous man ! My dad looked up at him (he was on his balcony) and said "keep your eyes off my daughter!" On the 6th, Ian introduced himself to me and insisted we have rib-eye-steak that he would do up on his bbq. I accepted. One thing led to another , and along came Ryan the following September. The following April 15, 1995, we got married. He lovingly raised Sara as his own daughter as she faced abandonment from her biological father after I divorced him for domestic violence. Ian was born in Calgary Alberta on July 20, 1967. He was born 3 months pre-mature at 2 lbs, 2 oz. Shortly after birth, he lost half his weight. Doctors kept him in an incubator and administered medication to his little fragile body for 2 months. Then after many ...

Benefits of Fiber

Image
When you eat, your body breaks food down to get the nutrients it's going to use. Fiber does not; but there is an important reason why... There are two types of fiber: Soluble and Insoluble.   Soluble fiber attracts water to your gut, then it forms a gel-like material as it passes through. When it reaches the large intestine, it becomes fermented which improves digestive health (healthy gut).   Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in fluids; it stays intact as it travels throughout your body, helping food pass through the stomach and intestines easily. This regulates your stools.  The benefits of fiber are: Heart health : Fiber helps lower cholesterol and may help prevents / controls high blood pressure. Cancer prevention : Dietary fiber intake reduces risk for colorectal cancer and breast cancer as well as other cancers. Diabetes : Fiber reduces risk of diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Longevity : Physicians believe that a high fiber supports quality...
