Dying to Live is really all about "living"

I started this blog to help others die to the things that are keeping them from truly living. I talk about everything from taking every thought captive to making healthy choices when eating. I have been on this journey for over 15 years now and finally decided it's time to share it with others. Come join me and learn why we must die in order to truly LIVE!

Have you hit a plateau?

Not getting any results....try a few of these ideas to get out of your rut:

  • HIT training-intervals of walking, running, biking in 30 secs on and 30 secs off
  • Go outside and do 20 minutes of sprints (up and down the driveway or sidewalk)
  • Add 100 lunges to your routine carrying a plate in front of you
  • Do something new-a body pump class, boot camp....do something you never do
  • Add stretching, foam roller, yoga-staying flexible is key to getting the best results
  • Push yourself...could you have run a little longer...lifted a little more weight...done one more rep?
  • Find a workout partner that will push you
  • Keep your eating clean
  • Try cardio 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach
  • Change your workout-lift heavier, lift lighter with more reps, shake it up...get out of your rut
  • Eat smaller meals throughout the day
  • Run sprints up and down a hill outside in the yard
  • Try to do 25 to 50 pushups every day (on your toes!!!)
  • Listen to your favorite music while working out
  • Focus your mind on what you are doing...this is your time
  • Dance with your kids

Get off the couch!
