Let’s face it, health and fitness is overwhelming! Over the years it’s become a jumble of information: carb-load/ don’t eat carbs – low-fat/high-fat – aerobics/ weight train/ cardio/kickbox/ Good grief!!

A lot of people I know don’t go in the gym, not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t know where to start. And who can blame them, today’s gym looks like a cross between a medical lab and a gladiator school – hi-tech machines that BEEP and BUZZ mixed in with ancient iron weights and grunting monsters.

So you’ve decided to change your life. I applaud you! But where do you start?

Well, before you can start, you need to know where you’re going. You don’t just get in your car and drive, and eventually wind up somewhere…You leave the house with a destination in mind – a specific goal.

Here’s where you’ll find yours:

• Grab a magazine
• Find a picture of the body you want (I don’t use old photos of myself because I’m not a time traveler – I’m interested in my future body not my past)
• Cut it out and cut off the head (You can paste yours on if you want to!)
• Post it somewhere prominent where you will see it every day – I like the refrigerator and the bathroom mirror.

When you eat you’ll think of this new body your creating. When you workout you’ll think of this new body you’re creating. This new body of yours will soon be so deeply rooted in your subconscious mind that you’ll start dreaming about the ‘new you’!

I believe in visualization because it works. It’s your road map for the future. If you don’t know where you’re going – how will you know how to get there or when you’ve arrived?

Don’t skip this step!

In my next post we’ll get more specific about taking action to reach that new goal!

Did you know Arnold Schwarzenegger would visualize the Matterhorn when he lifted biceps – take a look at the peak on his arm and you’ll see the result! Do you currently use visualization or have you used it in the past? Do you think it’s all B.S.? Let me know your thoughts!
