What is YOUR BIG WHY?

We have been asked a lot recently about motivation…. How do I keep myself motivated?
Obviously fitness does not start in the gym! It starts in your head. Without any reason to be motivated you will not step into the gym or lift a dumbbell or stretch a resistance band! It starts with the decision that you want to be healthier. And that decision is always made for a reason. If you want to be able to stay motivated, you have to find your BIG WHY.
The BIG WHY is different for everyone. For some it is to look good on the beach. For others it is because the doctor has told them if they do not make a change then they are putting their life at risk. For a lot of us it is our family… We want to be there for our children for a long time and we want the time we have with them to be the best it can be.
For Kevin and Amanda the BIG WHY is their kids. They decided they wanted to be the kind of parents that have the energy to DO things WITH their kids. Not just be a viewer on the sideline of their lives. But to be able to participate with their kids in life. Being able to hike up a mountain with their kids this summer has given them even more motivation to keep going.

 Intermittent Fasting...Yes or No? Intermittent fasting, keto, paleo, south beach, (insert newest fad here) all "work" IF AND ONLY IF one requirement is met-- Energy Balance...Calories in vs calories out. There is NO diet in existence or even possibly in existence until the laws of thermodynamics are invalidated that avoids this requirement. If one of those models works well for you, and helps you take in fewer calories than you expend, awesome! We use lots of tools in our toolbox, and I love having options that help people fit the energy balance requirement into real life. I am not against any diet model which helps someone achieve that. HOWEVER, our approach here at 15 Minute.Fitness focuses on one thing that most diet models do not. We make a distinction between "losing weight" and "losing fat". All "weight loss" is not equal. We hold to the long-term strategy that the only way to ultimately free yourself from the yo-yo diet loop that most...

  15 Minutes a Day of Strength Training... That is all it takes to get all of the benefits of strength training and the benefits are HUGE. --You will burn more fat than cardio! - Cardio burns calories while you are exercising but once you are done the benefits stop! Strength training burns calories long after you stop training. Your body needs to use those calories to build and repair the muscles from your strength training workout and it does so for the next 24 hours! --You will look leaner! We all want to be thin but none of us wants to be “skinny fat.” Building muscle gives us an athletic, toned body. It is firm and has shapely curves. J.Lo did not get that booty from eating ice cream. There is plenty of muscle there to keep it lifted up! --You will boost your metabolism! Maintaining muscle tissue takes a lot of energy! A high metabolism is one that burns more calories. Having muscle on your frame means you are burning more calories all day long. --It is easier to ma...
