It’s now 2011 and a new year is upon us. At the start of every new year I write down a list of all the goals that I want to accomplish. I usually write them down in a journal and keep them to myself, but this year I want to do things a little different because I expect more out of my this year. So instead of me writing to you about the importance of goal setting and how important it is to achieving all the things you want in life. I decided that instead I am going to share my goals for 2011 with you.

Below I’ve broken my goals down into 6 different categories:  Mind, Body, Relationship, Society, Finances, and Spirituality.

It seems as though most people feel like they need to spend an hour or two at the gym 7 days a week in order to get any real results. Well this simply is not true. The real problem is that people don’t know how to use their time efficiently in the gym.

This is the biggest problem I see at the gym. People walk around aimlessly doing a one set of an exercise and then spending the next 5 minutes resting or talking with friends before they do another set. No wonder why you can see the same people at the gym every day, but you never notice any changing in their bodies. Read the rest of this entry

How can I lose fat from my stomach and thighs?

I wish I had a dollar for everytime I have been asked this question. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as spot reduction. I can’t just tell you to go do 1,000 crunches to lose your belly fat. Your muscles in that specific area would get stronger, but in the big picture the crunches won’t help you lose the fat surrounding your midsection.

What happens is that your body stores the excess calories that you consume through your diet as body fat to be used as a source of energy at a later time. If you are constantly consuming more calories than you are burning on a daily basis, your body will continue to store more and more calories as fat instead of using the fat as energy.
