Contributor Post: Making Changes and Legs N' Abs

Hello everyone! I am back from Cali! This week on the blog is gonna be F-U-N, I have three contributor posts for you and they are all gonna be gooood. I told you all a little bit ago that I kinda struggle with getting back into the groove of my blog when I go out of town, so I decided to have some great people post for me while I get used to normal life again- ha. First up is Mal, you guys have really been liking her! Anyway, she is here with another fantastic fitness post! Enjoy!

Hey guys!  It’s me again!  I have been in Canada the past week visiting family and haven’t really had the time to sit down and write a good long post for you all, so I’m going to keep it short and sweet this week! 

I have had a ton of people come up to me lately and tell me that they have done “everything” they can but cannot get past that “plateau” stage.  I honestly don’t believe in the plateau stage.  Just like many things in life, our health and fitness does not stay stagnant.  It is constantly changing, and the direction of that, whether for the better or worse, is completely up to you.  If you are looking to lose weight or get healthier, are you really doing everything you can do?  Or are you taking short cuts?  One of my favorite articles written by my trainer, Neil Anderson, puts my thoughts into words just perfectly.  https://neil-anderson-x0zh.squarespace.com/musings/2011/11/2/be-perfect.html

Now get to work!
