Spring is here, even if it does not always feel like it yet.  Spring marks new beginings and new life.  The days are getting longer and the outdoors start to call to us.  This is a great time to look at our fitness/health plans.  Make sure everything is on track.

Clean up your eating by surrounding yourself with appropriate food and snacks.   This is a new begining so ditch the super high calorie comfort foods and think light, yummy and summery. Prepare your week and put together your meals and snacks to grab and go.  One day a week to make the rest of the week mindless.

Make sure that you are using a NASM specialist to help you with your program.  By utilizing the specialized & personalized program you will defeat the dreaded plateau.  Your body is smart and learns, so something that may have worked when you started may not be working now.  This could keep you from hitting your goal.  However, this program is specifically designed to keep things moving at an appropriate pace.  By using selected variables as well as periodization (using different phases at different times), your goals will be met while also decreasing your chance of injury.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend, spent with family and friends.  New beginings are a wonderful thing.  An opportunity to take.  Enjoy spring time weather and fresh air, it will help you to stay on track.
