Posted on July 23, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happenShare I work in manufacturing. A big part of my job as a process engineer is solving production problems that operators, line technicians, and process technicians couldn’t solve.

Reward your hard work.
Posted on September 29, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Reward yourself for meeting or continuing to work toward your goals in some way, not necessarily food or exercise-related.

Have a plan B (and a plan C and a plan D).

Make exercise convenient and set yourself up for success.
Posted on September 10, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I tried going to gyms while I was in college and graduate school. After all, it was free, and I should be getting back into shape. But especially in graduate school, the transport time was in practice prohibitive for me.

Change up your routine.
Posted on September 5, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, My fitness journeyShare If you don’t like what you’re doing, are you going to do it for very long? And if you just started exercising (again or for the very first time), don’t you want to see if there’s something even more fun out there? You never know what you’re missing!
