28 | BOROMAG.COM | DECEMBER 2013 BODY & SOUL 1. PERSPECTIVE I am a firm believer that attitude and approach can change your life dramatically. The way in which you envision yourself and your surroundings has a direct link to your behavior. Tell yourself that you can’t, and you will be defeated before you begin. Identify yourself as an athlete and you will train like one. 2. Keep a fitnes journal If you are a list maker, logging your workouts can hold great appeal. It will reinforce a trigger to remind you of your workout, help set and keep your schedule, and allow for some reflection on your progress. A tangible account of your growth and achievement is a great motivational tool. Motivational Strategies for Success Winter has finally set in. Cold weather, holiday parties, and sugary treats may be tempting you to pack in and hibernate. This is the time when many people fall off the fitness wagon, and make resolutions to take care of themselves at a later date. There is no need to fall backward to take steps forward. Employ some small motivational strategies to keep you going through the holiday season and feel ready to start the New Year. by HAYLEY BRIDGE WATER “With my clients, the biggest hurdle to get past is the thoughts in their own brain. I always say, ‘Tell your mind to get out of your body’s way!’ Your body wants to move around and be physical but it is your brain allowing excuses to get in the way. Remove the excuse and you remove the hurdle.” w - Lisa Ezkanazi Personal Trainer and Owner (Astoria’s Simply Fit & Simply Cycle)
