Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.....

Every year you make a resolution only to find you've made more "coulda, shoulda, woulda" statements than you have made trips to the gym. So rather than making the same empty promises to yourself this New Year's, let Two Island Girls LLC. help you with trying a new approach.

Here are some of  the top seven fitness excuses we make and the keys to overcome them.

1. "I can't commit." Come on ladies, men are suppose to be the ones notorious for having commitment problems. Not us, so why is committing to fitness so diffuclt? I understand gym memeberships can be quite pricey.  Promising a gym a large amount of money is never an easy endeavor.

Two Island Girls Approach: Don't let lengthy (and pricey) gym memberships deter you from becoming active. We seek out & have partnerships with local fitness groups or sports teams to join that are typically inexpensive. In addtion, within the community we build you will have tons of support from peopole aspiring towards a common goal. Those 4 free weeks with a personal trainer that we offer will also help with a nice kick start. As well as provide you with the motivation to "keep going."

2. "I don't have the extra money to spend." Again, gym memberships are expensive, and not everyone has the extra funds to pay for a yearly membership.

Two Island Girls Approach: It's true. Money is rarely in excess for anyone these days. But look at it this way: By actively losing weight now, you'll prevent weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers, and heart disease. An investment in fitness now will save you money in doctor's bills later. In addition, 2IG has a tremendous amount of ways that we show our community to be healthy and fit on a dime.

3. "I'm too tired." Workdays are getting longer and longer. Add kids to care for to the equation, and you have a recipe for weariness.

Two Island Girls Approach: According to research exercise, exercise can  does increase energy levels even among people suffering from chronic medical conditions associated with fatigue, like cancer and heart disease. So rather than viewing exercise as yet another drain on your energy, look at it as a new means to kick your lethargy to the curb.

4. "I'm too stressed." Bills, kids, work, your partner. Depending on your current situation, some of-if not all-these elements in your life can lead to a seemingly unmanageable amount of stress.

Two Island Girls Approach: Although you may look at it as such, exercise should not be stressful. In fact, you should look at your chosen form of activity (whether it's a gym, a sports team, or a club) as your time away from the stressors. Embrace your time away from the realities of life and exercise your ability to remedy stress. Our community will also provide a great vice and outlet. You with have a chance to meet and network with like minded individuals. Encouraging and motivating one another. One of the things we offer as well are clinics and other resources to help you get to the root cause of some of your stress.

5. "I don't know how." If you've never exercised before, a gym can be an overwhelming place. Loud music, high-tech machines, and extremely fit cliental can deter even the most inspired newcomer.

Two Island Girls Approach:  Regardless of how green you may be, there are gyms and outlets provided for those who are new to the fitness world. 2IG also gives our community members 4 free weeks with a personal trainer that will help familiarize you with some of the machines and exercises.


6. "My partner is happy with me the way I am." So you've put on a few extra pounds since the start of your relationship, and your partner is happy with you "just the way you are." (Really?)

Two Island Girls Approach: And your partner should love you even if you're carrying around a newly acquired spare tire. Even so, your partner would be elated if you make a commitment to fitness not for vanity's sake, but for your own health and wellness. Let's get real here for a moment. Stop trying to justify it!! No one, I repeat No one is really happy with "a few extra pounds." Don't make it ok!! This is how we lose control and before you know it, those "few extra" turn into 50lbs+ extra.

7. "I'm recovering from a serious injury." Work-related injuries are on the rise and more than a few of us have been sidelined because of them. On top of that, nothing can bring a life of fitness to a screeching halt like an extended recovery period.

Two Island Girls Approach: Sure, maybe you can't just jump right back into the thick of exercise. You can, however, set a goal for yourself. This will lessen the stress of exercise while working toward a manageable goal. Also keep in mind, less activity less consumption. If you are not as active, there is NO need to eat the same way you did when you were.
