So you have take the first step and decided you want (or need) to get work out more and get fit. You’re thinking about

Picking the right gym for you is crucial in the battle to lose weight fast.

joining a health club to lose weight fast, but you’ve heard too many stories about people who sign up, go one or two times, and never go back. You’re not really sure which type of club to join to lose weight fast: a low-cost chain, a more expensive, exclusive fitness center, or a club that caters to only women or men. Buying and maintaining a health club membership can be pretty complicated, but if you follow these 10 tips, you’ll save money and be on your way to greater fitness.

1. Make a list of your specific fitness needs and wants. Will you be comfortable working out in a large club with both men and women? Will you need access to more than one club? Are you looking for one-on-one personal training services? How often do you think you’ll work out each month? Do you think you’ll be able to keep up your fitness regimen? How much can you afford to pay for a membership each month?

2. Once you’ve identified your requirements and visited health clubs that meet your needs. Get a free pass for each club (at least a one-week’s pass) and workout at each club as often as possible during the free periods. Compare nd contrast the pros and cons of each location.

3. Don’t sign up for a membership at any of the health clubs while you’re using free passes. You’ll be under a lot of pressure from salespeople and managers, and they will tell you that you need to sign up today in order to get discount pricing. Don’t. Health clubs offer discount pricing all the time. Take advantage of your free week and weigh your options.

4. When you’ve decided on a particular health club, go back and speak with a salesperson about membership choices. Don’t feel pressured to sign a long-term contract anywhere. Remember that long-term contracts are really installment loans with high interest payments. If you don’t think that you’re going to keep up your workouts, don’t even think about signing one of these contracts. Gather all of the written information about each type of membership, then go home and review it at your leisure. Don’t feel pressured to sign up for any membership at the club.

5. When you’re speaking with the salesperson, ask all of the questions you want. Don’t feel rushed or pressured. Never forget that any contract you sign supersedes any promises a salesperson gives you. Even if the salesperson writes it into the contract, it probably isn’t legally enforceable. The contract is king. Read it carefully before signing.

6. Compare the costs of each membership type, and remember that you should make the ultimate decision based on your own needs, not on short-term discounts that may sound like you’re saving money, but will end up costing you more money in the end.

7. Make sure you fully understand the cancellation requirements of each membership type. Many long-term health club contracts are almost impossible to cancel. A month-to-month contract may be a better solution even if it is a few more dollars per month.

8. Don’t sign up for automatic payments via credit card. If you no longer want a membership, and you’re able to cancel, you may find it difficult to get payments stopped.

9. Keep track of all your payments in case there are any disputes with your health club.

10. If you do cancel you membership, make sure you get the cancellation in writing from your health club. If this does happen, DON’T STOP EXERCISING. Keep your promise to yourself to become a healthier, more active person. Find an alternative health club or exercise option.

By following these 10 tips,and laying out a plan for yourself, you will drastically improve your chances of fitness success. Also remember that diet and nutrition play a huge role in terms of how successful you will be!

I’m tired…

I can’t tell you how tired I am of running on fumes lately…

And this is the way most Americans operate, always wishing they had ‘just a little’ more sleep.

To Lose Weight Fast You Gotta Get Your Sleep

And although I’m just as guilty, I know that by sleeping less than I need (about 7 1/2 – 8 hours) I pay the price.

That toll evinces itself in several ways: poor memory, lack of energy, moodiness, a weakened immune system, and perhaps the one you’re most concerned about, it makes it harder to lose weight fast.

Getting less sleep than you need changes the hormonal balance within your body. You start to secrete hormones that promote fat storage, not fat burn, and your ability to lose weight fast goes right out the window.

Even though research proves it, I like to confirm everything I read in the “real-world”. Every time I’ve tested the ‘’sleep equation” it comes up the same: the more sleep-deprived you are, the harder it is to lose fat and gain lean muscle. On the other hand, when you do get enough sleep, fat loss and muscle gain seem to come quicker and easier. Works every time.

Try for just one week to make it a priority to get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. At the end of the week, let me know what your results were.

Happy 4th of July!
