If I could give one tip for people, it's not an exercise tip or a nutrition regimen. It's to WALK YOUR TALK and BELIEVE in YOURSELF, because at the end of the day the dumbbell and diet don't get you in shape. It's your accountability to your word.

You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say, 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness, nutrition and emotions, but once you do, you can master them instead of them mastering you.

When it comes to sticking to your resolutions, research has shown that 'action-oriented' resolutions have a better chance of being upheld than 'idea-oriented.' For example, a resolution to lose weight is really only an idea with nothing actionable to do. However, sticking with that goal in mind, you could make the resolution action-oriented by saying 'get up 30 minutes earlier every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and do a 20-minute workout at home before work.' Now you have an actionable path on how to achieve your goal.

If you dont have an emotional connection to why you are trying to accomplish your goals, the odds are you wont reach them or will quit trying.

It's the cross-training that's key. It doesn't let your body adapt to one stimulus too much and it keeps your workouts exciting.

Structure your cross-training appropriately by alternating the intensity of your sessions so you work, recover, work, recover.

What daily healthy intake are you doing for your body? I personally like Shakeology.
