What is Reggie C Fitness? It is results! As co-owner of Signature Physiques Studio in Houston, Texas, I take an unorthodox, but effective approach to weight loss and personal development. Though you see me today, I wasn’t always this health conscious.  After graduating from college, I gained some excessive weight due to lack of  exercise and proper nutrition.  Not liking how I was looking and feeling, I decided it was time to make a change for a healthier me.  It wasn’t easy, but with exercise and a change in my eating habits, the hard work has paid off.  I help countless clients become their best, pushing them to the limits in order to help them achieve their weight loss and fitness goals.  Being that I struggled with weight, I can put myself in my clients’ shoes, understanding what it takes to achieve weight loss success.  Fitness is my passion, and motivating others to make healthier choices and live a longer life is what I am about.

 

Below read some tips and lessons learned from those who have experienced weight loss success through Reggie C Fitness.

“Planning is key!  Write out your workout schedule for the week, and keep track of workouts in a planner or your phone.  Making time for exercise and meal prep is sometimes very strategic, so set a weekly goal.  Try to stick to that goal as best as possible.  Set reminders for your meals on your phone calendar or set an alarm, so that you don’t miss a meal.  Failing to plan means you’re planning to fail.  It helps to have an accountability partner to make sure you are sticking to your goals daily.  Your accountability partner should push you!”

“Keep an ideal physique or picture of where you want to be on your screensaver, so that whenever you unlock your phone you will see it.  This will help to remind you to keep pushing. Also, take progress pictures. They will motivate you to keep going.  Surround yourself with like-minded people who have similar goals.  Everyone wants results, but only a few are willing to push and work for it.  Being surrounded by like-minded people who motivate and encourage you to work hard will motivate you.  Also, drink a gallon of water consistently.”

“Don’t compare yourself or your body to others. Everyone has their own unique physical traits, and everyone’s journey is distinct.  So don’t get down on yourself if you see someone else who is doing better or getting quicker results.  Incorporate everyone in your house on your journey.  If you eat healthy, they can to…no exceptions.  LOL!  Want it for YOURSELF!  Getting in shape for someone else or something else will only be temporary, and the motivation will fade if that person or thing leaves your life.  Learn to say NO to people and things, and start putting YOURSELF 1st.”

“Don’t get discouraged if you “fall off the wagon.”  We are all human.  We all have cravings.  It’s okay to indulge occasionally.  However, KNOW that additional cardio will have to be done.  Make sure your friends and family know/understand that you are serious about your goals. It’s easy to get derailed by loved ones and co-workers.  This means saying no to a lot.  The more consistent you are with putting your goals on the forefront, the easier it is for others to accept it and not want to tempt you.  Listen to your trainer, and lean on your fit family!  Surrounding yourself with like-minded people is one of the best things you can do. Whenever you need encouragement, motivation, or inspiration, don’t hesitate to turn to them. That sort of support will always get you through.”

Anywhere-Anytime

Anywhere-Anytime

%image_alt%In today’s busy society, you need more than just a local gym for help with our fitness concerns. You need to be able to get help anywhere-anytime and modern technology provides the perfect answer. When you’re on the go, sometimes you manage to find time in your schedule for your workout, but your gym may be closed or you may be out of the area. Eating healthy isn’t always easy, especially if you’re just learning to change your eating habits. Having a handy app on your phone is the perfect way to stay connected to the program so you’ll never make a high calorie mistake.

Sticking with a workout doesn’t have to be impossible.

Whether you’re a busy mom on the go or a high profile corporate rising star, finding the time for a workout can be hard. It might be that hour when the kids are sleeping or after the end of a long day. Sure, it’s tough to find the time, but when you have your personal trainer as close as your phone, it’s definitely not impossible. There’s no driving to the gym, either. You can do the workout in the privacy of your home, saving even more time.

Don’t let your workout or healthy eating plan fizzle out because of travel.

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to stay on track whether you’re out of town on business or for pleasure. You can workout in your hotel room or even do the workout in a pool. Eating out is never a problem. Your app will tell you what to order and what to steer clear of eating. That doesn’t mean you can’t snitch a little on vacation, just don’t overdo it every day and you’ll stay on track.

You might not need an online app all the time, but just for a month or so.

The app doesn’t have to be your main method of working out or replace the use of a personal trainer. However, when you know you’ve got a busy schedule, lots of travel or other commitments that will make it difficult to achieve your normal workout, it’s the perfect solution for those times. You can opt for it on a monthly basis and still stay connected to a trainer.

When you’re busy, it’s even more important to stick with your workout and healthy eating. That’s because busy times are stressful times and exercising burns off the damaging hormones created by stress.

It won’t take long to learn how to eat healthy, but a little guidance until you do can make the difference between success and failure.

After you’ve worked out for a while, you’ll feel lost when you skip a few days. That doesn’t have to happen when you have your app ready for any workout time.

You’ll feel fantastic when you workout. It’s a great way to start your day. It invigorates your body and mind and you can do it at home before getting ready for the day.


Happiness Is Attractive

Happiness Is Attractive

%image_alt%Happiness is attractive. It shows in the glow on your face and your relaxed continence. Happiness doesn’t cost anything, but it might require you to make some mental changes. You don’t have to win the lottery or snag that big promotion to be happy. It comes from appreciating the little things in life and realizing how much you really have. Too often we compare ourselves to others and that can wreck a perfectly good day or try to be perfect, another day wrecker. Instead, focusing on positive things can bring happiness your way. You’re a unique individual and should never compare yourself to someone else. There’s always someone better than you, whether they’re smarter, stronger or fitter and something that isn’t perfect about you. You’ll never be happy if you look for perfection.

Accepting and loving yourself doesn’t mean you don’t strive to get better.

Self-love isn’t a pass to remain static. No living thing remains static. We’re all in a constant flux and you can guide its direction. You should always love yourself and your body. It’s counterproductive not to do that, but at the same time, challenge yourself to becoming more fit, thinner and toned. You’ll find you have to love yourself to appreciate all the benefits you give yourself and how good you’ll feel.

Just starting a program of healthier eating and regular exercise can change your whole outlook on life.

It’s exciting to start new things and starting a fitness program is no different. When you learn the art of true happiness, you’ll love every movement your body makes, knowing it gives you more control over your life and can make a huge difference in how you look and feel. Studies show that just starting a program can improve your self-image, even before you see results! Imagine how it makes you feel when you start to see positive changes in your body.

Enjoy the results of your hard work.

You’ll improve your complexion, body and overall health with a massive burst of newfound energy. Take a few minutes to appreciate every step of the way. Self-love and appreciation gives you a positive outlook on life and helps you work harder. It’s not vain to take a minute to step back and really look at the results of your hard work and can make you happier in the process.

Exercising burns off the hormones created by stress that can make you grumpy, mentally fuzzy and even harm your health.

After you exercise, you’ll not only have a glow about you, you’ll also feel more relaxed and secure in life. It comes from the feel good hormones that exercise triggers.

You’ll sleep better at night when you workout regularly. Not only does that make you happy, it makes you far more attractive too.

There’s absolutely no purpose for constant negativity. That doesn’t mean you will always be happy, especially after a big loss of any kind. However, it does mean that when you face the world with a positive “can-do” attitude, you can accomplish any goal.


Have Fun In Your Relationship With Fitness

Have Fun In Your Relationship With Fitness

%image_alt%You can have fun in your relationship with fitness. Your attitude sets the stage for any relationship and fitness is no different. If you hate it, it will fight you the whole way and you’ll spend hours at the gym disliking each and every moment. Instead, learn to appreciate each muscle movement and how you’re learning complete control over your body. You’ll be loving every minute knowing that it’s the perfect formula to get the healthy happy body you want.

Learn to change your attitude about eating healthy.

Eating healthy doesn’t mean you exist on rice cakes and celery. Instead it opens a whole world of good food for you to enjoy. You’ll never have to diet again once you learn how to eat healthy and keep weight off permanently. That should bring a tear of joy to your eyes. When you have a happy personal relationship with fitness, you’ll love experimenting with new tasty dishes and realize that food can be healthy and delicious. You’ll also learn that you don’t have to give up everything you love. Eating healthy isn’t a diet. Diets are restrictive and leave you hungry. They’re more like an adventure in eating.

Have fun revealing the new you underneath the extra weight and flabby muscles.

It is fun to make yourself look fabulous. People pay hundreds of dollars for a makeover that only affects the surface. When you take the time to discover the hidden you, it’s not only challenging—it’s exciting! You’ll be amazed at how great you look and truly appreciate the hours of exercise and healthy eating it took to get you there.

Feel the joy of the extra energy.

Once you start your relationship with fitness, almost immediately, you’ll feel a surge of energy. It’s so amazing that the more you burn energy, the more you seem to have. Exercising may leave you feeling exhausted at first, but happy. Before too long you’ll realize that exhaustion disappeared and you just feel fabulous.

When you workout regularly, stress will melt away. Exercising burns off the hormones created by stress that leave you in a mental fog, exhausted and unhappy.

You’ll see an improvement in your complexion that no other beauty aid can bring, when you eat healthy and workout. Eating healthy provides the nutrients your body needs for healthy skin and exercise stimulates circulation sending oxygen and nutrients to all cells in your body.

You’ll start to look forward to each workout as you see the huge changes in your body.

When you exercise on a regular basis, you’ll add healthy happy years to your life. One study shows that for every minute you exercise, you add seven minutes to your life and have far better health.


Shine This Year

Shine This Year

%image_alt%

You can shine this year if you start right now by getting healthier and fitter. Fitness is not all about how you look. It’s about how you feel too. A few lifestyle changes can help you get back into shape and end the year with a great body, loads of energy and the determination to take on the world. That’s what an exercise program and healthy eating can do for you! There are so many reasons to start getting healthy before you tackle other goals.

Exercise not only makes you fit and attractive, it gives you the energy to achieve other non-related goals.

I have clients that are both female and in competitive, often male dominated, positions. They have to be on top of everything and be at their best. Many feel that because of their situation, they have to work harder and smarter than the men, just to get equal acknowledgment from management. Whether they’re right or wrong isn’t important. They make lifestyle changes, with diet and exercise first, to become their strongest and boost their energy level so they can achieve their work goals easier.

Getting stronger doesn’t mean getting muscle bound.

Don’t worry about bulking up and looking like a body builder. It takes more than just a normal program of exercise to achieve those bulky muscles. When women work out, they build muscles, but it’s a lean sinewy look that tones you without bulk. When you are strong, you feel that way and respond that way. My women clients actually thinned down and toned up, but they got the psychological advantage of feeling strong and having more energy.

Eating healthy and working out can make your mental work go faster.

Have you ever noticed that at the end of a tough, long day your brain feels like mush! Most of that feeling comes from the hormones created by stress. They can fog your mind and make it difficult to think. Working out burns off those hormones and stimulates blood flow to all parts of the body, including the brain. Studies show that when you workout, it helps develop new connections in the brain and keeps you mentally sharper. You’ll be an ace in the office, doing tasks at home or even taking classes after work.

Healthy eating is vital if you don’t want that mid-afternoon down time when the drowsies hit. A healthy diet keeps your blood sugar level so you don’t crave sugar for energy. You’ll be energized all day long.

Exercise helps boost your metabolism to make losing weight even easier. That’s because muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain than fat tissue does.

Looking your best can give you the confidence to act more powerful and command respect. You’ll improve your posture and walk taller. That gives you the look of confidence that commands respect from others.

When you learn to eat healthier, you’ll never have to diet again. You can even eat some of your favorite fattening foods, but more sparingly.


New Year-New You

New Year-New You

%image_alt%Happy New Year! It’s time to start planning a new you for 2017. Getting fit isn’t all about looking great, but of course it’s a huge benefit. It’s about feeling your best and having the energy to do your best to accomplish all the other goals in your life. It all starts by creating a plan of action for exercise, learning to eat healthy and developing good habits. It might sound overwhelming, but luckily you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help with both your exercise and dietary goals. My easy to use techniques will guide you from flabby to fabulous and from tired to terrific.

I’ll assess your fitness level and create a plan for you.

You’re never alone when you have the help of a personal trainer. I assess your overall fitness and start you on a program to get stronger, more flexible, have more endurance and start uncovering the you that you were meant to be. You’ll work hard, but never beyond your ability. Best of all, it will be worth all the effort. Of course, as you start getting stronger and fitter, I’ll have to up the ante or you’ll stop seeing fast progress. That means your workout will get harder the fitter you are.

You’ll learn healthy eating habits too.

Healthy eating will help you lose weight without it returning. Super low calorie diets aren’t the way to lose weight and keep it off. Most fad diets are super low calorie and have you eating one type of food. Not only do they leave you feeling deprived and hungry, they also put your body into starvation mode, which effectively means you’re slowing your metabolism. These types of diets always end and then you put back all the weight you lost and sometimes even a few extra pounds. A healthy diet won’t leave you feeling deprived or hungry and you can even eat your favorite foods, just in smaller amounts.

You’ll have energy abounding with the addition of a healthy diet and regular exercise to your life.

Exercise is amazing. The more you do, the more energy you have. It not only builds your strength and increases flexibility, it builds your stamina. You’ll have more energy, better focus and get your work done quicker. Exercise also increases your cognitive abilities so it even helps you do mental work more quickly.

When you combine a healthy diet with a program of regular exercise, you give fat a double whammy. Not only does the exercise burn extra calories while you’re doing it, it also builds muscle tissue and muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue does. You’ll be boosting your metabolism.

When you eat a healthy diet, you often eat more than you’d normally have. It insures you keep your blood sugar level, so you even have healthy snacks throughout the day.

I will vary your workout program regularly. That helps prevent your body becoming too efficient, which means it burns fewer calories when doing that particular exercise.

You’ll see amazing results quickly with my help. As a personal trainer, I know the right types of exercises to get the quickest results and results are powerful motivators.
