Better U Fitness

Over 90 percent of adults and children don’t eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. Find ways to increase your daily intake (grab fruit for snacks, add spinach, peppers and tomatoes to your omelets, add a salad with dinner, etc).

There is no such thing as spot reduction. You cannot do an exercise and expect to lose fat from that specific area. In order to lose body fat, you need a proper eating program and workout routine. Get in touch with us to see how we can help you shed the fat for good!

Most people focus only on doing tons of crunches and other abdominal exercises in an effort to get flat, defined abs. What many people don’t realize is that no matter how many crunches, situps or other ab exercises you do, you will never see improved definition unless you can minimize the layer of fat that covers your abdominal muscles.

Quality vs Quantity – Lots of people brag about how many crunches they can do, but often times quantity is not what gets results. Instead it's about the quality of the movement – proper form. Check in with us if you have questions about form or anything else!

You can have a great life. You can be that person who smiles often and loves their life. The key is to build a successful and creative fitness and nutrition program that speaks to you and your goals. A few positive changes here and there can mean the difference between another failed health program and the positive, healthy, successful life you were meant to enjoy. How can we support you?

Blame no one. Other people do not control you or your actions. Everything you do or do not do is up to you. When we start to take responsibility for our own actions, we learn things that deepen our personalities. Taking responsibility is a mature action. Only you have the power to change your life for the better!

Your first thought of the day sets the tone for the rest of your day. So why not make your first thoughts happy ones? Create a little mantra you can recite each morning. Make it powerful and one that you really connect with.

Be selfish about your health. In order for your health and fitness program to deliver the goods, you have to be selfish about certain things. Make sure that your workouts are all about you. Ask smokers not to smoke near you. Ask your friends to take a walk instead of catching a bite to eat together. And take the time to schedule your workouts and then commit to it.

Set up a reward system. For each week or month that you follow your nutrition and exercise program, you get a little reward. Your reward should be something that you will enjoy, but not food. What about a massage, a CD, a date with your kids, or a new shirt?

Compare yourself to no one. Be who you are, where you are, and do what you can, when you can. A lifestyle change includes accepting everything about our bodies and our personalities. Working out and eating well changes our physical body as well as our inner self.
