Are you looking to strengthen your core while trying to get the six pack abs you’ve always wanted? On this segment of the Today Show along with Colleen Oddegard and Paul Schadt, I will show you a few exercises that you can do at home or while on the road to help you keep in a good routine!
You have to see where you want your life to go if you ever expect to get there.
Success is in the eye of the beholder, you must determine what you consider to be your success.
Then create a plan of action, steps that can get you to your goal.
Stop, breathe, focus, see yourself accomplishing the task at hand.
Visualize your success. Each moment of your life offers the chance to put your plan to action.
Take advantage of every chance you’re given, we never know how many chances we’ll have.
Own The Moment.
– Know The Goal
Here we are 2 weeks into the New Year! How are you doing with maintaining your goals?
Watch this segment with WBTV Anchor Kristin Miranda as we talk about ways to stay focused! Then watch Mandi Miller owner of Got What It Cakes Cakery as she demonstrates some surge exercises!
Great momentum can sometimes be slowed up by unforeseen circumstances.
Maybe you get sick, or someone in your family gets sick.
Maybe you have an injury that keeps you from the physical activity that you want to do so bad.
When these things happen its important that we adjust our perception away from the “why me”.
Sometimes a forced rest period is the best thing for us, a time to reset and refocus so we have clear sight to finishing the goal.
Bend, Don’t Break
You may have to waiver from the original plan, but that does not change the end goal. The only thing that changes is the immediate action we have to take to get there. During these times it’s easy to lose our focus, to throw our hands up in frustration and think we’ve lost our momentum, or ruined our progress.
Its ok to waiver from the original plan, as long as you stay in tune with the end result you were striving for. When faced with obstacles it’s ok to not be perfect, adjust to the moment, regain composure, Bend Dont Break!

Know The Goal
Your training and practice at anything and everything does not begin until your mind tells you that you want to stop.
Always remember WHY you started and WHY you wanted change.
One day along your journey you will be challenged and you will want to give up.
Keep Going.
That is the very same day you will prove you could do more than you thought possible.
Our fate can be twisted to good or bad with the decisions and actions we choose.
Make uncomfortable your comfortable and no challenge will be too great.
The journey towards change always starts with excitement, we see the finish line, we have a vision of what it will be like to complete the goal.
Then we have to endure the hard and unexpected work it takes to reach that goal.
When your journey becomes difficult and you think you want to give up
KEEP GOING!
You may be closer to your success then you know!
Know The Goal
A great quote by Henry Ford:
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”
What positive changes do you want to see in your life? What are you willing to do to make those changes happen? Define the
changes, and the small steps you can take each day to ensure you’re on the path leading to the life you want to live. Make each change a commitment and each day that change will become your routine. In a short time you will forget that you ever had to make change, because what was once change; is now your lifestyle. Change is hard, but hard is always temporary. Have a dream, create a vision, and take action. Embrace Change and new doorways to success will open. Know The Goal
Some days will always be better than others. True test of character occurs when we must overcome unexpected challenge. Many times we can see our goal, we know what we want to achieve but fear overpowers our emotions and we cant build up enough courage to take a risk, even though we know the results lead to reward.
Just Show Up
You have never been put in a situation you could not overcome.
No matter how challenging mentally, physically or emotionally you have always persevered. Today, tomorrow, the next day will be no different. You are capable of doing Amazing things. No matter if its a good day or not, give yourself the chance to do something great!

With give or take 2 million different choices of protein bars, how do we know which is the best for us? Tough to say, but we
can break down the Why, When and What to help make your choices a little easier. The great thing about having so many to choose from is that you will find one that meets your needs.
Lets start with Why protein bars are a good solution when you’re trying to stick to a nutrition plan.
Then When? This is pretty easy to answer because there’s no bad time to consume protein, more is better.
Here’s the one we have the most questions on, What protein bars are best for us? Here are a couple things to know about protein that will help you choose your bar
There are different sources of protein, and here’s what to know
So with all of that said, here are my personal top 3 protein bars based on what my personal needs are, but they pretty much fit the bill for anyone, anytime. I try to keep my protein bars low in bad carbs like sugars and fillers. Carbs from dietary fiber are ok, because they’re not going to spike your blood sugar level. I like to have 15 grams of protein or more in my protein bars so I’m getting a good portion. And lastly, I look for cost effective bars. I equate these to meals at times, so if I can get them for $3.00 or less, I’m doing great.
Here you are, my top 3:
We could have discussed so many more bars, and that’s because of the 2 million or so in the world, there are a lot of really healthy bars. What you should take from this is that you DO want to have a protein bar that fits in to your nutrition plan, there are many more pros than cons, so next time you’re at your health store, look for some with the key do’s and don’ts we discussed. Keep it natural, keep it clean and keep it handy.
One day when you step on the scale or look in the mirror you’ll be happy you did!
