Charles "Chizel-It" Harris is a personal trainer and owner of Chizel-It Fitness Center in Owings Mills Mall. He offered these tips to help stay motivated in a fitness program.


"Motivation is one of the things I find people struggle with over forty, the reason being time restrictions, single parenthood, not only that -most women have a lot on their plate now- work, homework, kids and school," said Harris. To overcome that challange, he suggests a group fitness program as a form of accountability.

Once you get into a routine you want to get some healty eating habits so you will see results.

Meals depend on time management because of our hectic schedules. Without proper planning you will eat too much or not enough.

"The way society is now, it's so hectic and you don't really have enough time and when you get hungry you will grab the first thing- you will grab fast food, Dunkin Donuts or go to anyplace like that and by doing that you'll throw your whole food regimen off," said Harris.

So lets take his advice and get with an accountability partner and watch what we eat. Time management is good for many areas in our lives, even health and fitness.
