Fitness Tip 107: You Don’t Have To Be Great To Start, But You Have To Start To Be Great


I want you to get the misconception out of your head that you need to be amazing to start. Whether it’s your fitness regimen or career or personal goal, believing you must be great to before you start your workout is like thinking you have to get clean before you jump in the shower. As a result, most people never take the first step because they’re too worried about looking good along the way. You want to save money but don’t want your friends to see you driving the save-money hoopty. You want to get in shape, but you don’t want people see you struggle to run a mile.

But you have to start to be great!

If you never start, you’ll never finish.

You have to realize it’s okay to not be the best at first, but practice makes perfect, and each day you’re one step closer to your goal. Greatness never came from comfort zones, so get up, get out, and get started!! Cheers to an amazeballs week!

Nutritional Tip of the Week 

For those of you who have a crazy sweet tooth like me or just appreciate a cool healthy refreshing snack or beverage. Try freezing fruit and putting them as ice cubes in your water or just sucking on them (see below). So tasty and refreshing!

Fit Tip of the Week 

Resistance bands are an excellent way to get your strength training in without weights. For example, try 3 sets of 20 of the following exercise. If you don’t have a band available, hug your knees and extend as one rep. Try 20, and for beginners, try 10.

Coach Cass

I am Coach Cass, and I was able to drop down 10 sizes, but I didn't lose the weight because I went through a crash diet or lypo. I just simply changed my diet. A reality about weight loss, especially if you have quite a bit of pounds to lose, is if your ONLY strategy to losing weight is exercising, with no intention of changing your eating habits, you’ll be disappointed, my friend. And if this former sugar, beef patty, cupcake, fried chicken, and candy addict can lose the weight, then you can do it too!!! Follow my fitness tips, and you will surely meet your weight loss goals.
