5 Unique Principles of Permanent Fitness Success
Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (PRWEB) September 20, 2006 -- Lifelong health and fitness success is not achieved through the use of an exercise gadget or a cleverly marketed weight loss vitamin supplement. It is the result of a host of lifestyle habits that are time tested factors in helping people become, and stay, healthy and fit for life.
"Unrealistic diet fads and 'extreme' workout programs do not provide people with realistic and effective solutions that result in fitness improvements that can be maintained for life," explains Joey Atlas, MS -- Exercise Physiology, creator of 'The Home, Office And Travel Fitness Plan DVD System.' "Mindset is the first thing that needs to be evaluated. Once all the myths and misperceptions about fitness and weight loss have been deleted, there is room to start creating the new mindset which allows for continuous health and fitness improvement."
Here are Atlas' tips for achieving permanent fitness success:
1) You must believe that you can be physically fit. If you don't believe in yourself, you are sure to fail.
2) Your desire to be fit must be deeper than just liking what you see in the mirror, or fitting into smaller clothes.
3) You must be pro-actively focused on making lifestyle choices that are conducive to fitness improvement or maintenance.
4) You must strengthen your conscious use of the willpower you possess that has been underutilized.
5) Continuously utilize steps 1 through 4 to help you stay committed to a realistic exercise schedule, an effective fitness program and wise nutritional habits.

Look Forward To Fitness And Exercise, Don?t Dread It
Sometimes it all seems too hard. We wake up in the morning, have breakfast, get ready for work, commute, do a day?s work, commute back, handle all the things that need taking care of, maybe relax for an hour or two, then go to bed. Ask a range of people how many hours a week they spend concentrating on exercise and fitness and the majority will say barely any. Taking care of our health is more than watching what we eat. It?s fitting fitness and exercise into a regular time frame, even if it?s two days a week. And it doesn?t have to be boring or a great big chore. Just removing yourself from your desk chair or sofa and doing something fun can improve your wellbeing and make your heart pump a little faster.
