"There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down -- until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living."

Training For The Special Day!
Shape Up for Christmas!
One of the reasons why January is such a busy time for gyms and Personal Training is that many people tend to reach Christmas reconditioned and with weight to lose! Throw in 3-4 weeks of poor dieting and limited exercise and people feel awful in January (not to mention the cold and dark mornings and nights!)
We are have many Personal Training clients at our Studio in Edinburgh looking to lose weight for Christmas. 12 sessions start from £267.48 inc VAT. Contact asap to get started: info@mikeheatliepersonaltraining.com

Ten Key Things Celebrities Do to Stay in Great Shape!
1. They're motivated
Celebrities get motivated, usually through pressure, maybe vanity, but they know they're under scrutiny, some more than others, but regardless of the stimulus, in order to exercise with the required intensity, you need to be up for it, and know why you're training so hard.
Goal-setting can be a powerful motivator, so write down some short-term and longer-term goals for yourself then get to work!
2. They're consistent
Building the pyramids, building Rome, building whatever, it all took time, but consistency with time. Every quality workout, every quality meal, all adds up to a better you, a lighter you, a more confident you. Good results are achieved over time through consistent daily efforts. Great bodies are the ones from years of training and dieting, not a quick fix.
You can certainly drop 10 lbs in only a few weeks but to develop a great figure takes more time and consistency. As long as you are doing more every day to help your figure than to hinder it, then you will always be working in the right direction.
3. They're disciplined
Discipline is everything. Discipline moves us forward in our lives and careers in the most positive manner. Doing, at times, what others are not prepared to do is the making of a champion. What are you prepared to do to reach your goal? Can you find the time to exercise five times per week? Can you stay on your diet six days a week? The greater discipline you have in your life, the more productive you will be and faster you will reach your goals.
4. They make time to exercise
Every day organise your schedule as if you don't you will soon find time for other things other than exercise. Gain good time management skills and fit in a time most days for exercise. Contrary to popular opinions, celebrities do not have infinite amounts of time to exercise but they do organise their time well and fit it into a busy schedule. Make time to exercise, no excuses.
5. They're organised
Granted many celebrities have assistants to keep a tight organised schedule, but there's no reason why you can't either. Pack your gym bag the evening before, make sure you have everything. Know what workout you are about to do, the exercises, the order etc. Plan your meals for each day and have your fridge and cupboard stocked up correctly so don't have to rely on something else.
6. They hire Personal Trainers
Most people cannot afford to have a Celebrity Personal Trainer with them for every workout, but hiring a Personal Trainer even once a week, month or even just to update your exercise program will save you a lot of time and energy and will enable you to reach your goals faster. Knowledge is everything. I can give someone one piece of advice that could make them lose 10 pounds more in one month than they would do by themselves! Get some good advice, hire a trainer that will fit your budget. I know many Personal Trainers at my Studio in Edinburgh who can help! :-)
7. They know their foods
Celebrity diets are actually not too dissimilar. Some may prefer a faddy diet plan, but the fundamentals to a fat loss diet are the same. Maintain a calorie deficit, meaning that you need to have a limit on the total amount of calories you are consuming every day. You need to be eating non-processed foods, opt instead for organic foods as much as possible and avoid refined carbohydrates such as white pasta, potatoes and rice. Eat vegetables for every dinner you have, especially from the cruciferous family.
8. They occasionally cheat
Celebrities aren't robots, they're human. They crave pizza, ice cream, burgers, and chips just like everyone else. The key is though that they eat these treats on occasion, not on a regular basis. Sometimes you have to eat some tasty fatty foods just to keep you sane, but don't beat yourself up over it. As long as 90% of the time you're doing things to aid your fat loss they're no problem. The 10% won't matter.
9. They keep a positive environment
There's a saying, "It's hard to soar like an eagle, if you hang around a bunch of chickens!" Make sure the people you spend the most amount of time with are positive people who are encouraging your efforts and not ones who always eat poorly at restaurants, the moves etc. and make you feel bad for not eating the bad foods they are eating.
10. They're in it for the long haul
Fad diets don't last. Quick fix diets don't last. Find a balance of good, clean, quality nutrition and not trying to yo-yo as often. Celebrity diets are consistent and long-term. Yes they occasionally go on a particular diet for a tour, movie, or red carpet, but they will revert to their normal diet which is manageable long-term.
Use these ten key tips for staying in celebrity shape, they will keep you well ahead of the game!
