Your task for today’s home office fitness challenge is to call upon your close friends, family members, and colleagues whom you trust and ask them to support you in your fitness, business, and life goals. Chances are, these are the same people that you asked to hold you accountable to your goals yesterday. Here’s the best way to gain their support…

1) Share your specific goals with your supportive peers.

2) Share the reasons why you want to achieve your goals and why achieving your goals would mean the world to you.

3) This one is a biggie! Share how they can best support you. If you are asking someone to support you, yet you haven’t defined how they can support you, it’s going to be difficult for them to read your mind and provide you with the best support possible.

Let them know if you respond better to negative criticism or positive words of encouragement. For example, if Angie catches me with my hands in the cookie jar I want her to tell me, “Hey tubby, why are you putting that poison in your body?” I respond well to that. It may be extreme, but it works for me. Yet that same method could cause you to crawl into a shell and go on an all out binge. If your support group doesn’t know this, they could end up doing more harm than good.

Here’s some examples of how you can let your support group know how they can help you the best…

Your home office fitness challenge today is to publicly declare your goals to at least a close friend, family member, or colleague. If you want to take it to the next level you can publicly declare your goals in a forum or community of like-minded people.

Reach Your Goals With Public Accountability

It’s not easy to share your goals with the world, but I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and go for it. It’s just way to easy to break a promise to yourself. But if you have someone to hold you accountable to seeing your goal through to the end, that promise becomes much more difficult to break.

Here’s a great idea…

How To Reduce Stress

Stress can cause major havoc on your body. Stress releases hormones into your bloodstream that make it difficult for you to lose belly fat and cause you to store fat. Stress can actually produce similar effects to eating a junk food diet and cause you to store belly fat.

Ironically, many diet and exercise programs end up causing more stress in your life. If you are drastically reducing your calories and trying to eat perfect the stress that you put on yourself may actually
