New Year Resolution 2019


     
It's that time again, where we make resolutions for the new year. It's a month in and I'm already slacking on mine. :( Anyone else having this problem?

Every year I would, "I want to be healthy by exercising more and eating better." Pretty general.   Hard to say if I actually followed through with it. 

This year, I came up with four things I would like to do/change. 

1) Drink more water. Seems simple enough but with my job, I can go long stretches without having anything to drink. And with all the exercise I get in a week, I should be drinking at least double of what I do now. 

2) Stretch. I'm terrible at remember information to stretch after workouts. The only time I do is the next day when I'm already feeling tight. I know that I'd feel tight regardless but to a less of a degree the next day if I stretched after my workouts. 

3) Sleep more. I currently run in 5 1/2 hrs of sleep time during the work we. Weekends I could do around 7. I would like to go at least 6, if not more. A night. Seems so easy. 

4) Spend more time outdoors. I want to be more active with walks and hikes. Enjoy the nature while exercising. This year I'm getting a bike :)

5) Blog more. I apologize to the few people that keep checking my blog to see if there's any updates or new posts. I will spend a lot of time at work thinking about new entries, just need to post them. 

 Well, there you have it. I believe these are specific, yet obtainable goals for 2019. 

 What's yours? Feel free to put them in the comments below. :)

First time Gym Goers

  Okay, it's 2 months in, out of the new gym goers out there, who's still going? Are you sticking with your New Year's resolution? If you are, great! If not, well there's always next year right? I'm kidding, that's the wrong why to think. there's 10 more months this years that you can use to pick away at.          As per every year, there are a lot of new people that are at the gym these first 2 months, which is awesome to see, although it makes things a lot more crowded. If your new to the gym, here's some friendly reminders, 1. get in the habit of wiping the equipment down especially cardio machines and benches.  2. rack your weights after using it 3. busy gyms aren't for social time so don't go on your phones in between sets (unless your changing the song), keep chatting with friends to a minimal since people are most likely waiting to use your machine/weights.    Before hitting the gym, I recommend doing research into exe...

The Beginning....

Welcome. My name is Marvin (Shane to others). I created this fitness blog to hopefully inspire the average person to stop making excuses and start looking to be a better version of themselves. People tend to think they don't have time, or money for fitness. Or maybe they get intimidated by what they see from bodybuilders or personal trainers out there thinking it's way too advanced for them. Or think they need to be a certain type of person for it. Maybe, just maybe, someone like me (working man, husband, papa of 3) could help change your view on what fitness can be.  The name Make It Fit(ness) was actually suggested by a co-worker who understands my mindset towards a healthy lifestyle. It can have several meanings.. 1. Make it fit... into your schedule. Ever heard of 15 mins, 3 times a week? Really it's that simple. "something is better than nothing". I'm a busy man too between work, kids, chores, finishing my basement, and everyday life. If you ...

It's not the results I wanted but....

Before you start exercising, you probably have a goal in mind. The most common has to do with weight. "I want to lose 20 pounds." Seems a like a reasonable goal right? So you start working out, get into a good routine of going to the gym, or outdoor exercise, and start a healthy diet/lifestyle. Depending on your fitness level, there's a chance you can you can drop 10 lbs within weeks, then after a couple month you find that you weight stays the same. Even after you've doing everything the same, you start to question what's wrong, and thinking they didn't get the results they wanted. People tend to judge the results by the numbers, I normally ask, how do you feel and how do look? After three months, you may have not lost as much weight as you wanted to by what if your cardio is better? What if you slimmed down a few inches off the waistline? Not the 20lbs  results that you wanted but does that work for you? I'm been there before, wanting to put on ...
