{ Top 3 Tips }

Use your time wisely.
With a busy schedule, it's not always easy fitting in that 1 hour workout. This can be averted if you strategically fit in your workouts. My personal favorites include biking or rollerblading to work and quick 15 minute full body kettlebell workouts. They're short but just as effective!

Eat to lose weight.
Keep energy levels high and the weight off. Eat every 3 hrs (5 meals/day) and drink lots of water. As a rule of thumb, each meal should consist of a handful of carbs and a handful of protein. Keep your portions small and delicious.

Don't get bored.
Challenge yourself. Try new routines that activate different muscles and keep your body guessing. This not only keeps things interesting, but will also help you stay motivated, prevent workout plateaus and get you faster results.
