This Fitness year is almost halfway over; try to commit now to your fitness goals for 2011. Why now? It's simple---if you reaffirm your fitness goals (from earlier this year) and look forward to next years goals; you will have much less Holiday seasonal gilt---that so many people go through. The reason you will be guilt-free is because if you get [refocused now] on your fitness goals--[like rasining your Metabolism and finding out what your BMR is] you will have a 6-month head start on the (possible) holiday-glut. You know, a small set back is easier to overcome for your (2011) New Year's goal.The idea is to stay committed every six or even better yet every 90-days and you wont have to make any fitness New Year resolution at all!

If this sounds like something you would like to try, post a comment and share with a friend or family member and challenge them to make this commitment with you.

I was told afterwards how informative (the class) was even for a refresher course. Inspired by the positive feedback, I though it would be a good idea to share some of the less scientific information with everyday people. Here we go!
