Whatever your activity and plan is, make it fun! A fun activity creates a fun attitude toward it. The fun factor of exercise, however, may not always be apparent. There are methods of keeping you involved and interested, and helping you to stick to your plan. Keeping it creative and adding variety is the top method for a fun workout. Mix it up!

Some tips:

• Resist the urge to do the same routine every time.
• Change the path you walk.
• Change the swim stroke.
• Buy a new exercise DVD, or borrow from a local library.
• Get a new exercise mat or try a dumbbell or resistance tubing (exercise bands) for a little muscle sculpting.
• Buy or borrow new music.
• Try different group exercise classes.

If you are having a tough time creating a fitness plan, then ask for help! Our certified personal fitness trainers are here to assess your needs, health conditions, ability and then put together a plan based on your interests. They can then guide you and give you instruction as needed. In many ways, trainers are used exactly for this purpose: a full-service, one-stop shop, and it’s always nice to have someone to motivate and help you reach your goals.

When it comes to setting goals, WRITE THEM DOWN! It’s one thing to think in the back of your mind that you want to start exercising, but as the day and all of its challenges unfold, it can be easy to forget. Write down all the reasons you want to exercise, and keep the list where you can see it. A list of your goals can be a powerful tool to help you maintain your exercise routine.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Club! J

Anita Quelle has a new life after beginning her weight loss journey in April 2010!  She has lost over 40 pounds and 9.4% body fat.  She has stopped smoking and has been very dedicated to her diet and exercise routine.  She has had a constant presence at Town & Country and has really pushed herself to get involved. Anita reflects on her journey, “When people tell me I have will-power, I tell them, it’s not about will-power, it’s discipline, and this is something my Trainers and the members of Town & Country have taught me.  They make it so easy.  You never feel like you’re working out by yourself.  It’s the same familiar faces and group each time.  We have fun.  You even notice when they’re not there and they notice when you’re not. These are the people who inspire me, that keep me coming back.  At age 54, I never would of thought that I would compete in Group Competitions or run in the Labor of Love or the Flying Pig 10K, but my Trainers did, and what a rush and feel of accomplishment it was.  I find myself setting little goals to meet, and with the help of my Trainers, I have and will exceed them.”

Congratulations to Annie Schmolt and her "Workout Buddies"

Submitted by the “Workout Buddies”… For the past few years the Workout Buddies (WOB’s), have had the opportunity to work with Personal Trainer, Annie Schmolt. She has pushed, encouraged and challenged us to reach beyond the limits we set for ourselves. Reaching and surpassing these limits could only have been successful with the help of not only our trainer, but also our friend, Annie. Through her knowledge and expertise she knew what each of us could accomplish even if we had doubts. Our team grew stronger physically and mentally. Three members of the WOB’s have even made it on Town & Country’s Wall of Fame!
