Motivation: How to Get Started VIDEO



Hey cubs!
So, I know I kinda suck in front of the camera...who wants to give me acting lessons!!

In this video we talk about actually getting started with your new lifestyle.  This is the HARDEST part of doing anything; actually getting started.  So without further adeu, let's get STARTED!

The first thing you'll want to do is find out why you wanna get started.  So you can live to see your kid get married?  So you can bungee jump off that cliff?  Or just to look good without a shirt?  All are valid reasons, you just need to have a good reason and follow it.
When you find your reason, start writing goals, I recommend you read the article on how to set goals here.  Make sure your goals follow all the SMART guidelines, and you're not too overwhelmed by goals.
Next, get started with some before pictures.  You know the drill, you see them all over t.v. and the internet.  ALSO! Be sure you weigh yourself, it's not necessary, but numbers always help.

Now that we have reasons and goals, now we gotta find a workout and a nutrition plan.  Unfortunately, B.E.A.R. Fitness is still an infant, and we don't really have anything yet.  So, I'll show you some great resourses. 
Bodybuilding.com is the world's largest fitness website.  It has several resources and amazing workouts and nutrition plans at your disposal, for FREE!  You can also get awesome apparel, supplements and books here too.
Livestrong.com is one of my favorite websites to just read around and browse on.  They have alot of great workouts and nutrition plans as well.  They also have great tips and tricks to implement into your routines as well.

Now, you're going to be doing something very different.  Something that your body isn't very familiar with.  Exercise and proper nutrition may be out of your comfort zone, so your body won't want to do it.  It's imperitive that we stay motivated so we DON'T GIVE UP!
Find pictures of a celebrity or a really fit friend and post them somewhere where you'll see them when you wake up or you go to bed.  That way, you can wake up and say, "What do I have to do today to look like that?" or when you go to bed, you can say, "What did I do today to get me closer to looking like that?"

Okay! We have goals, we have a workout and we have some motivation.  Now begins a new lifestyle, a new YOU! So, don't hold back, let's live a healthier, more enjoyable life.   Good luck Cubs!!  Feel free to comment or shoot me a message if you have any questions!
