Before you even lace up your workout shoes, the first thing you have to do is to commit to your program every day. No matter what else is going on in your life, remind yourself of your fitness goals and give your workout the priority it deserves. Write it down in your day planner or Palm Pilot and treat it just like any other appointment that you wouldn't miss.

Beginning a workout program for weight loss can be overwhelming. What exercises should you be doing? How much? How often? How hard? With proper planning, you can set up a complete exercise program to help you reach your fitness goals, whatever Before you get started, make sure you check with your doctor to make sure you don't have any health or medical problems. Then get some paper, a pen and a calendar and get ready to plan your program. Planning things out will make it easier to reach your goals and to stick with your program for the long term.

Sports Conditioning
To be a faster runner, practice running fast. To jump higher, practice jumping higher. Is any of this making sense?

Gaining Muscle
Muscle gain occurs when you eat more calories than you burn coupled with heavy strength training. If you lift weights, you can build a little
                                    muscle but if you want to put on some serious size, that requires
                                    serious work and commitment
Losing Fat
Fat Loss occurs when you burn more calories than you eat. If you burn an extra 500 calories per day, you would lose about a pound a week. You can't choose where you lose fat. Accept it. Believe it. Love it.
