Please visit the link below from the Pop Photo Flash Daily Blog (scroll down to “New Way to Lose Weight”).  There is a site that you can upload your picture and include how much you want to lose and they will show you what you will look like after you lose the weight.  Of course this is just based on the technology they use, but it might be fun to try.  I am going to try it and if the photos come back in a format I can upload here, I will.

Get a Membership – Step 1

Posted on June 20, 2007. Filed under: fitness, gym, gym membership, Health, snap fitness, Uncategorized |

One of the first things you should do on your journey to becoming more healthy is get a membership to a fitness center (aka gym) or find ways to build a very good workout area at your house.  There is nothing wrong with working out at home.  However, one of the problems doing that is eventually you will get bored of the equipment and may not be able to blast through a plateau. 

A monthly fee to a fitness center is really not that much once you think about all the benefits it provides to you now and in your future.  IF you GO, it is worth it.  At times (if not always)  in your life it should be a “MUST” in your monthly budget.  IF you are paying a membership fee, you will feel like you have to go and you will most likely go. 

There are some affordable fitness centers out there like Snap Fitness .They are open 24 hours a day and are usually located close to homes and they have the equipment you need to workout and improve your health.  You may not have one in your neighborhood, but look around and maybe you will find a place that is close to that.

IF you are on a very tight budget, find a way to spend less money on other things so you can afford a membership or invest in some used equipment that you can put in your house.  People are always selling equipment in their garage sales.  Yes, you can lose weight with no gym equipment by walking, jogging, cycling or running but you will be limited to only these activities and you will not take advantage of all the great benefits from lifting weights.

YES, Fitness Centers are always trying to SELL you a membership.  However, it is NOT a rip off, IF YOU go.  A Fitness Center is there to make $$$, so they can pay their bills and make a profit.  However, if it is a VERY GOOD Fitness Center, they will REALLY care that you reach your goals.  Look around, before you can sign up to make sure you like the employees, the place is clean and it is a membership you can afford. 

Good luck on your journey to the new you!
