BALANCE

Many people have asked me about the name Bfit Athletic Club.  Well I have to admit it was not my first choice but I’m glad I chose the name because it is the best choice for what I represent.  The “B” stands for “BALANCE” and this is what I believe being fit is all about. It’s about finding that balance in everything you do so that you are able to live a full life.  Part of finding balance is taking care of you so that everything else CAN fall into place. Taking time get your mind right, exercising, eating mindfully and getting enough sleep keeps you strong and able to face anything that comes your way.

I chose “Athletic Club” because I wanted a place where people of like minds can come together to workout and support each other in their fitness journeys.  By participating in various sporting activities, I want to show others that working out and getting in shape doesn’t have to be boring or painful.  Of course you have to make a commitment and yes you have to do the work and no it’s not always easy but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the process.

This is my vision for Bfit Athletic Club.  If you're looking for balance in your life then start with your health.  Make a commitment to yourself. Come join our team and start your journey.

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL!

I confess, until recently I was not an early morning exerciser. It was tough for me to pull myself out of my nice comfortable bed, especially when it’s still cold and dark outside.  My body can feel stiffer (not claiming old age lol) in the morning and it does take me a little longer to warm-up, but I’ve adjusted and I have to say that early morning workouts definitely have their advantages.

First of all, you’re more likely to get it done. Working out first thing in the morning before you begin your busy day is the best way to guarantee that no scheduling conflict causes you to miss it.  Also, you may train harder.  If you workout in a group, you will find that the morning fitness crowd can be the most dedicated and focused group of people to workout with.  These are the people who get up religiously before sunrise to train so yes they are serious about their fitness, which can in turn push you to do your best. Then there’s that feel good effect that you get from a great workout that starts your morning out just right and can last throughout the rest of your day.  

Now although I like working out in the early morning, I must admit that sometimes it can be tough to get out of bed and get going, especially if I had a late night.  So to make my life and my mornings flow much smoother, I have my morning process down to a fine art.  From what I am going to wear to where I put my car keys, everything is planned and packed so nothing gets missed; especially my workout.

If you would like to exercise in the morning, here are my suggestions to help you be successful:

1) Get your sleep. Set a cutoff time for all activity so you can wind down and get in the bed; this includes social media and the TV in your bedroom.

2) Record your favorite TV shows and watch them at a later date.

3) Go to bed and get up at the same time everyday.

4) Lay your clothes out, prepare your breakfast, lunch, etc. the night before or earlier.

5) Have your car keys, watch, phone, etc. together in one place so you’re ready to grab and go.

6) Ask your accountability partner to text you or text your accountability partner in the morning as soon as you wake up.

7) Make sure you have plenty of gas in your car so you don’t have to make any unnecessary stops.

So let’s WAKE UP people.  The best commitment you can make to yourself and your loved ones is to take care of your body.  Commit to Bfit. 

We can help you get started. Our first class starts at 5:30AM. Call me for our Spring Green special, 770-845-0527. 1940 Parker Court, Stone Mountain. www.bfitathleticclub.com

The best way to start your day!
