Fitness Tips to Reach Your Goals and Achieve Success
W
orking out is not a single entity, and in order to be successful you need to adapt a total lifestyle change, developing healthy habits in order to reach your goals and achieve success. Here are a few tips to help keep you on track: • Proper nutrition is the backbone of any fitness routine. Eating organic,
non-processed foods is important. Maintain a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, complete proteins and good fats such as fish oils. • Preparation beats busy. If you plan and prepare your food in advance, you have the best chance to accomplish your goals and stay on track with nutrition. • Never underestimate the importance of rest. Getting eight hours of sleep and setting aside time to relax will only maximize your efforts in the gym. • Find motivation. Whether it is high tempo music or a group of workout buddies, utilizing motivators when you work out ensures you are more likely to accomplish your daily fitness and nutrition goals. • Drink lots of water. The benefits of drinking water
are numerous. It helps keep you body balanced, controls hunger, helps energize muscles, keeps skin looking good, prevents dehydration, and assists in proper functioning of your GI (gastrointestinal) tract so you can properly absorb all of your nutrients. • Form matters. Maintaining proper form guarantees you will activate the muscle groups that you are training and will keep you healthy and injury-free. • Change things up. Your body should never plateau or adapt to what is coming next. When this happens, you can diminish strength gains. Switch up your routine daily. • Flexibility. The incidence of injury decreases when flexibility training is added to your daily routine due to an increased range of motion. Flexibility training helps you become more in-

Reinventing Yourself in Retirement R
etirement offers people a great opportunity to start something new. In addition, life expectancy trends indicate that an increasing number of baby boomers should be prepared for a long life in retirement. While this is good news, it also creates a few things to think about: • Financial resources may need to extend for a retire-
ment that could last two-tothree decades or longer • Healthy, vibrant individuals may not be prepared to “shut down” and enter into a traditional retirement In light of these dual considerations, it may be time to rethink plans to retire at a traditional age, such as 65. For many, extending work into later life may be necessary to ensure long-term fi-
Changing Career Focus As you enter your late 50s and early 60s, you may be thinking about what’s next in life. High on the list for many is maintaining a sense of purpose as you grow older. In many cases, continuing to work in some capacity is part of this equation. A number of people view the period approaching and entering retirement from their career as a time to begin a new chapter in their lives. This may mean reinventing yourself and the role you play as a contributor in the workforce. It requires “out-ofthe-box” thinking to determine what you may be suited for that differs from

what you have already been doing in your career. The range of options at this stage in life may be broader than you think. They include: • Building on your experience by becoming a consultant for your former employers and others with a similar need. • Taking on a part-time role with your current employer, something that gives you more flexibility to pursue other interests. • Pursuing a long-held dream to start a business, possibly in a field completely different from what you have pursued in the past. • Providing your services to benefit organizations and people in a volunteer capacity. Looking for Purpose A developing trend is the desire among many baby boomers who want to keep working to find an occupation that provides an increased sense of purpose
in life. Money may not be the prime motivation to keep working. Particularly for those who are more financially secure, the drudgery of the workaday world they may have experienced before can be set aside. Now is a time to seek work that is more engaging and purpose-filled. Older Americans should not rule out the opportunity to take advantage of their available time to relax as well. Taking time off after spending years dedicated to a career and accumulating wealth is well deserved. It might also give you an opportunity to “re-tool,” reconsider your options and determine the best course of action for the next phase of your life. The idea of “reinventing yourself” later in life can be a viable option for you. Make sure you have your financial house in order and avoid taking steps that might put your long-term fi-
