Your Fit-Spired Fun Guide to Make it a November to Remember

Fit-spired Fun

It’s that time of year again – daylight hours are fewer and further in between, it’s getting too cold for some of your comfort, round two of midterms and the end of term are setting in, and – in a few weeks – the holiday season begins. It can be really hard to find the motivation to keep fit right now, so I thought we would turn it into a challenge!

Below I’ve set out 9 fun ways to keep fit – one per week left in the calendar year. In whichever order you feel or choose, try one of these activities on that day when it’s just too end-of-yeary and you’re just not feeling your normal (cheerFIT?) routine.

It’s not unheard of for a parent to ask the coach what it is that they can do to ensure that their daughter gets a spot on the cheerleading squad. My initial answer is simple- nothing. It’s all up to her, her skills, abilities and willingness to work hard.

BUT…
There is something that parents can do to help. That is build confidence in these young ladies!

A November to Remeber

A November to Remeber

Hi Friends!

Wow, so November is here and things definitely start to pick up and get a little cray crayyy. Between holidays, competition season, traveling,holiday parties and all that good stuff – there is just not enough time in the day. Or is there??

Here at cheerFIT we are committed to maximizing every ounce of time and living life to the fullest. As I reflect back on the year and look to make this a November to Remember – here are some cheerFIT tips of how you can too!

Tip #1: Make a to-do list each day and stick to it

The NUMBER ONE (yes I repeat #1 tip) that I have learned and have been making a conscious effort to follow is this:

  • Each day, make a to do list of what you want to accomplish.
  • Schedule estimated times that it will take for each task and go get to it.
  • Even more important – do not answer emails during scheduled tasks! Emails are reactive and I want you to be proactive.  Yes,  of course include time to answer emails – but during your schedule time to get work done, study, workout – you name it – step A-W-A-Y from your emails!

I have been trying this nifty little tip out and, it workS! I want to make it a November to Remember and be able to look back on what I have accomplished.

Tip #2:  Take time to say thank you

Here is a tip that you will never regret – take time to say thank you!

Ok, so you know the smile project I was talking about last month? This tip goes hand in hand with that. You want to take time to say thank you and appreciate those who help you. Saying a simple thank you, sharing a smile or scheduling in some ‘fun time’ goes a long way. A special thank you to the cheerFIT team for helping us make this a November to Remember!

Tip #3: Schedule in me time

Yes everyone needs a little me time. No this is not selfish – it is necessary to help YOU be more productive. For me, my me time is working out. Oh! Super important reminder- I do not work out with my phone. Nope I don’t check emails, answer calls, check social media – none of that during my me time. 

Do you need some help scheduling in that me time? Schedule a free consultation with ME (your cheer fitness trainer and motivator)  and I will personally help you find that me time and make this a November to Remember!

October Is National Anti-Bullying Month

Hi everyone! Hope you are in full swing of school, training and homework. It is definitely Fall here in Tennessee. Leaves are changing and falling and we had our first frost and freeze of the year this past weekend too.

I have a question for you. Are you wearing your blue this month? Strange question I’m sure, but very important. Did you know, the month of October is National Anti Bullying awareness month? Did you know someone you know maybe being bullied? Did you know someone you know may be a bully? Want to know a really scary fact? Over 30,000 kids each day, stay home from school, because they are being bullied. Do you know that over 16% of kids age 10 to 14 think of killing themselves every year because of being bullied?  (more…)
