Forget the Quick Fix Many people drop their exercise routines before they ever get to experience weight loss. Some exercisers set their expectations too high and go all out in the beginning, then fail to keep up with the unrealistic demands of their WAM-BAM plan. Are you part of the ''Too Much Too Soon'' club?

Don’t overload yourself with unrealistic expectations when you’re just starting out with a new fitness program. You can’t expect yourself to work out three times a day if you’ve been sedentary for years. You’d be so sore after the first day or two that you’d end up back on the couch by day three. Quick-fix plans have you putting all your hopes into a rigorous routine that you think will work in no time at all. 
Unfortunately, weight loss takes time and consistency. But don’t let that discourage you – the slower you lose it, the slower you gain it back. Start out with a slow, steady routine to get your body adjusted to new movements, and then slowly increase the intensity, frequency or duration of your exercise sessions. Crash diets and grueling exercise routines will get you nowhere. The slower you start, the longer you’ll stick with it and the better your body will be able to adapt and progress. This could take weeks or even months, so be patient. 

With the holiday season approaching a lot of goals made at the beginning of the year will be put on hold, and cast aside to indulge in all the festivities of the holidays. Indulging a little is good, as we need to have these times, but don't total cast aside your workout routine or your diet because of it. The indulging doesn't have to last for two months, does it? No it doesn't, so don't let. Have fun and enjoy, but keep on track and set certain days you will allow yourself to indulge. Like on Thanksgiving day, eat clean the week prior and keep to your workout schedule, then allow yourself that special one day to indulge yourself, and enjoy with your family. 

If you stay on track and be consistent during the holiday season, only allowing yourself those chosen days to indulge in the feast that comes with all the holiday festivities, you will not have to be paying for your many indulges when the New Year hits. Pick your days, stay on track and you will be so thankful you don't have to spent the first half of the new year working off your holiday indulging.

When the new year hits and you do have some holiday season indulging to work off, chances are many will... Remember do not use a "Quick Fix" and make unrealistic demands on your body. It took 2 months to put those extra holiday indulging pounds on your body, so remember it will take twice that to work it off.
