The Action Plan: Get Fit Over 40 Training & Nutrition Program Review


If you're 40 years old or older and are looking for an effective fat-loss program, you're in luck! If you can't afford a gym membership, don't have access to a gym, or are intimidated about going to the gym, you're in luck! 
Certified Personal Trainer and Figure Athlete Karen Pilote and Registered Nurse and Cooking Connoisseur Kate O'Connor joined forces and created The Action Plan: Get Fit Over 40 Training & Nutrition Program
What's In It? 
The Action Plan opens with an overview which highlights what to expect from how the plan works to the exercises to the cardio sessions to nutrition and more. 
Karen and Kate did a great job addressing questions their audience may have regarding the program. Every exercise of their program illustrates a model showing proper execution along with notes about how to do each one.  
There are even sections in the book to track your progress and to set goals which will help you stay on track - how cool is that! 
With The Action Plan there is no thinking on your part because everything is completely spelled out for you. You get THREE whole months worth of what to do and how to do it. In addition, you get a nutrition guide AND a grocery list! The back of the book is jam-packed with recipes for breakfasts, main dishes, soups, salads, and sides. What's even better, Karen and Kate decided to add in the nutrition facts of each meal, right down to the calories, fats, carbs, and protein - see, no thinking required! 
I don't want to give away the whole book, but Karen and Kate even include BONUS features, and they aren't stingy either! 
How Much Is It? 
The spiral-bound book comes in a hard copy ($49.99 plus shipping & handling) or an e-book ($49.99) format. This is very inexpensive compared to a personal trainer or gym membership, plus it's invaluable to your physical, emotional, and mental health. (It will save you hundreds on those doctor visits and meds you hate taking each day!)

Motivation: Where Is It?

So you want to become motivated. You want to start going to the gym and get on that cardio machine. You want to get rid of weight and feel great. You want to fit into those pants you haven't slipped on in more than five years. You want to look in the mirror and finally smile back at yourself because you feel confident in how you look and in how you present yourself. 


First of all, do it for YOU and no one else. YOU are the only person who can make YOU happy. YOU are in control of your life. Secondly, identify what's making you feel the way you are feeling. Is it the beer gut? Or how about those saddlebags? Can you just not get rid of that trouble area? You're always looking in the mirror and picking yourself apart. You think to yourself that you'll never get to where you want to be. Guess what? You're right. You think it, that's exactly what's going to happen. You'll get that beer gut, those saddlebags won't go away, and that trouble area... it's staying! Let those negative thoughts go. 


What do your negative thoughts do to yourself? They bring you down, right? They make you feel even more insecure. 


Turn your negative thoughts into positive ones. Where do you want your body to go? How do you want to feel? Convert all your negative thoughts into positive ones. "I hate my body" to "I love my body" or "I'll never get fit" to "I will get fit". Still don't think it's possible to do this? Here's a challenge for you - DO IT. Remember, what you put into it is what you'll get out of it. Set small goals for yourself so you actually stick with it. Don't just make it a resolution and have it fizzle out a month later. Words and phrases drive action. Make them positive! 


Ok so you have the positive words and phrases down pact. Now all you have to do is put them into action and you're well on your way to being and staying motivated. If you need to, write yourself a note or an email to "get to the gym". Print out pictures of people's physique that you want to emulate and hang them on your fridge, in your cubicle at work, or in your wallet. Let that be a reminder as to where you see yourself. 


Be fit. Stay fit. It feels so good to be healthy! YOU CAN DO IT!
