This is good advice, its been proven!

Everybody wants to be the best they can be, right? So why do we settle for second best when it comes to our health? When was the last time you ran 5km’s, have you ever ran 5km? Well, think of this for a moment, a year ago I was 110kg and could not walk 5km let alone run it. Last week I swam 1.5km(in the ocean), then I went for a bike ride of 40km, and to top that I went for a 10km run after that! I never in my right mind thought it was possible 12 months ago. The beer tasted great, pizza was staple diet and sweets was a must have, but something told me I have to try or I am going to die from my bad habits!

Bored at the gym? Kick your workout up a notch

Know the definition for treadmill?  My dictionary defines it as “any monotonous, wearisome routine in which there is little or no satisfactory progress.”

Coincidence?  I think not.  Using a treadmill can kill your fitness motivation faster than you can run on one.  In fact, doing the same old, same old at the gym is the number one cause of workout malaise.

And when boredom strikes, it’s easy to get disheartened by a routine workout that makes it seem like you’re going nowhere fast.  Before you lose motivation and take on a new routine as a couch potato, try changing your workout up with these great treadmill alternatives.
