Starting a Workout Plan Successfully

When you start a workout plan, you refer to the starting point as week one right? Wrong. A better name is hell week. Now, you may be thinking, “Aren’t you being a bit melodramatic Justin?" No way. The first week of any workout plan is brutal. The workouts are hard and painful. The amount of weight you can lift is depressing. And after about five minutes of cardio you begin to question if your left lung just collapsed. Not to mention you have to get your butt off the couch and get to the gym.

I just made it through “hell week” and I wasn’t successful. 

Now I’m not trying to discourage anyone. I’m just being honest. I only went to the gym twice and played one game of soccer. My goal was to go to the gym five times this past week so why did I fail? Was it laziness? Did I have a busy week? Nope. I failed my weekly goal because I didn’t prepare enough. Since I don't want you guys to fail, I'm going to give you everything you need to start a workout plan successfully.

Welcome to my Fitness Blog!

Hey everyone. My name is Justin and I am the blogger behind 50 Days of Fitness. I'm a public relations post-graduate student at Western University looking to lead a more healthy and active lifestyle.


Why is my Blog Different?

My blog is different because I am not a fitness guru. I haven't exercised consistently in the last four months. I don't have a personal trainer certification and I don't have a degree in food and nutrition. I'm not "jacked" and I don't have a six pack. So why follow my blog?
