Feeding [my] addiction

I am always intrigued to stretch my mind and growth a little further, every chance I get.  Just as exercising the body keeps it fit, exercising the mind, through learning, reading, puzzles, board games etc, keeps us away from becoming mentally un-fit. One of my favourite ways to keep my views challenged, and my mind alert, is, through reading, or listening to great books.  I am addicted to audiobooks actually; and I am also a vivid collector of hard-copies of my favourite readables. 

It is not even the end of January, and I am on my 6th book, Unbearable Lightness by Portia De Rossi (see the links below for the hard-copy or audio versions).  It is a very interesting and raw biography, of Protia's releasing of her herself from her own prison. We all can take something very intimate from it; in how we view beauty, and people in this very much visually stimulated world.  Not to mention the insight we may gain, in how we look at ourselves, realisticly, or not.


             

Enjoy, I know I am.

52 weeks of bodily bliss, week 47: Playing "hard to get'

It is my belief that, 'playing hard-to-get' only makes you very easy to forget--unless of course you take it to the gym. No, no, I don't mean it like that.  I meant it in the context of engaging in the body-game, the getting into shape game.  

It is not always easy, no matter how simple it really IS.  With the right plan and guidance you can, and are ought to, make it easy for yourself.  It is time to get motivated, and get involved.

Right now, January 12, 2011, look at the calendar.  In about 4 weeks it is time to think romantic again.  What is it going to be?  Avoidance?  Loneliness? Self-pity?  Fear?  Or will it be bravery, passion, sensuality, exuding inner strength, and celebrating outer strength?  


Will it be a woman, who will jump on a plan right away, if not already on one, and start mowing toward, and forward to showing her sexy curves off, over a romantic dinner, or new date?  Will it be, Mr. Handsome, who will work for the pump in those sexy biceps, that his gorgeous will caress, as they walk into the restaurant to have the V-night romantic dinner?

No more hesitation!
It is time to get with it. The body-game only adds to your experience in every facet of life.  Only 4 weeks away.  Will you make a difference and BE DIFFERENT?  Or, will you stay the same? You choose.  In just 4 weeks so much is possible.  For your personalized plan, or work one-on-one, in person, with me, please write to contact me at monkovacs@gmail.com.

52 weeks of bodily bliss, week 46: TIME tIME time

Happy New Year all! May 2011 be your healthiest and fittest year to date, giving way to many to follow.  

I am going to pick up the pieces with the blog series talking about one of our most precious commodities: TIME.  Time is life. How we spend our time is how we spend our lives.  When it comes to making fitness a regular part of our lives, time has a lot to do with how successful we are at it. Many find the time to exercise easily, while others cross off fitness from their list 1st, in order to make room for other, "more important" things.


I am here to tell you that fitness does not have to take hours out of your day. Even if you only can take 20 minutes daily to shake things up, your time can be very well spent with some cool tools, and programs that fit YOU, and YOUR lifestyle. This is where an expert's coaching comes in great, and will help you ensure that you WILL be fit and healthy, and have a life of balance and harmony. But you have to WANT this--or the opposite will be the case.  Structure and planning are key elements to success. 


Depending on the program you follow (and you SHOULD follow one, not just complete a random exercise bouquet as you arrive to the gym), monitoring, and, or, timing your sessions is an amazing way to check your progress. Whether it is an interval program, or a mere tracking of your progress over time. I came across a smart gadget that I highly recommend for this purpose, THE GYMBOSS TIMER: 




THE GYMBOSS TIMER is super-convenient and versatile in its use. A guarantee to help you succeed when put to good use. In some of the next blogs I will share a few examples of how I use the GYMBOSS :) 
Get timing, and get growing !!!
