Real World Advice that Makes Sense to ME!, June 17, 2008
Reviewer: beccasweet
I've been listening to MTM for a while now and I feel like its the first time I'm actually making progress with my fitness goals - and so much of the rest of my life too.
Scott's got 11 programs a week in his membership (I joined after a couple weeks - so glad I did!) ranging from personal growth to fitness tips and inspirational stories (10-30 minutes each). And it's not just the same ol' stuff I've heard before. Sure.. it's similar concepts, but he says it in a way that works for me and actually gets me to use it in my life. Isn't that what it's about anyway?
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a boost.

The Motivation to Move is a one-minute daily podcast that strives to help people get motivated to exercise and stick to their diets. These one-minute speeches by the host, Scott Smith, cover a pretty wide range of topics, from how to stick to your diet while eating at a restaurant to meeting your exercise and weight-loss goals without enlisting the services of a personal trainer.
The topics that the host talks about are important and relevant to diet and exercise, which is good. But since the episodes are so short, the host obviously can't provide very much information. That means that if you really want to learn about any of these topics, you have to go and do more research on your own. If the host made this show at least 5 minutes long and talked about the topics a bit more, it would be much more beneficial to listeners.

In Motivation to Move, Scott Smith provides great tidbits of information about diet and exercise. His short tips are designed to move the listener to action with simple and practical steps without the cost often associated with this subject.
With subjects ranging from how to lose without the help of a physical trainer to using the knowledge you already have about based on your past weight loss success, Scott Smith gives practical advice in a “motivating” manner. He is very upbeat and a great speaker which certainly makes listening a pleasure! Although they are very short, the information is practical and useful. Personally, I would need additional assistance with something more of a plan in order to lose weight and be successful.
This is a great addition to a weight loss program but not a plan itself. I will most definitely keep up to date on his podcasts.

Minute #144 | The Arms That Keep On Waving
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Thu, Jan 8, 2009
If you’re a woman over 40 who doesn’t workout, when’s the last time you raised your arm and waved hello to somebody? You know what mean?
As we get older, the skin on our bodies loses it’s elasticity and begins to sag – and there’s no better example than the famous arm that keeps waving. It’s one of the problem body parts that women over 40 seem to have in common. And if you’re gained or lost weigh in your life, it’s even worse. So what’s the solution?
Remember, your skin is not just sagging because of lack of elasticity, you’re also losing the underlying muscle at the rate of about 1.5% per year. When you lift weights, you maintain and build muscle.
When you exercise you’re triceps, all that new muscle pushes up against the skin, filling it out and away goes the wave.
And not to pick on woman only, the same thing applies to guys – but it usually shows up in the chest. Not a pretty site. Two words. Lift Weights.

Minute #143 | Being Optimally Healthy
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Wed, Jan 7, 2009
When it comes to getting health and fit – there seems to be lots of confusion on exactly what that means? So what does it mean?
When it comes to being healthy and fit, we all need a little exercise every now and then. But the question is how much? It depends on what you want. Here’s what I mean.
If you’re eating a reasonable diet – fruits, vegetables, watching your fats and keeping an eye on calories, your body does ok. But how much exercise do you need.
Surprisingly little. As little as 20 minutes, threes times a week to exercise your heart and arteries and give your lungs a boost too will go a long way to giving optimal health. A little more exercise will make you functionally fit – allowing you to take on all your normal day to day activities with ease. And that’s good, because believe it or not, walking up one flight of steps really shouldn’t take your breath away – if it does… now you know what to do.

Minute #142 | Diet OR Exercise?
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)

Are you one of those folks who needs to take off a few pounds but don’t know whether you should focus on your diet or your exercise?
I spend a lot of time working with folks who are trying to shape up in one way or another.
I also get to spend a lot of time chatting with professionals like Personal Trainers, Group Fitness Instructors…and Doctors. Here’s something we all agree on.
When somebody needs to lose weight, popular wisdom says to hit the health club and burn, burn burn. To some extent that works. But there’s just no way of getting around the fact that if you need to lose weight – you need to diet. That’s why we call it “Diet AND Exercise”.
If you’re a frustrated not getting the results you deserve I can almost guarantee your missing part of the Diet AND Exercise equation.
The trick to getting results and enjoying the process more? Strike a balance between a healthy diet and regular workout.

Minute #141 | Planning For The Unexpected
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Mon, Jan 5, 2009
So you finally got yourself to go to the health club for a workout and when you get there you find that the club is closed… or your class is cancelled… or it’s too busy. Now what?
This morning I ran into my friend Don at breakfast. I can always count on visiting with him at our favorite coffee shop – right after his daily morning workout.
Did I mention Don was 89?
But this morning it turns out, the club canceled Don’s daily Kickboxing class.
Did I mention that Don is 89?
So I asked, “what did you do?”. Turns out, Don is a pretty flexible guy and just walked over and took a 30 minute walk on the treadmill – he said, “I can’t miss my workout, that’s what keeps me alive”.
Remember, no matter how well you plan, life will get in the way and you may have to come up with another option - Plan for it now and you’ll be far more likely to stay on track with your workouts instead of taking advantage of an easy excuse that may come your way.

Minute #140 | The Basic Exercise Plan
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Fri, Jan 2, 2009
When it comes to exercise – are you at a total loss and don’t have a clue where to begin? Hmmm… you must have forgotten everything you learned when you were a kid.
I remember when I was a small child spending hours and hours running and exercising. We used to call it playing – and you did it too. And in gym class the coach in the funny shorts helped us learn about exercise. Then, after high school… we forget everything – got married, ate meat loaf got fat.
When it comes to exercise, folks are always telling me, “I don’t know what to do”. Sure you do.
When you run off to the health club, just remember that being fit means having a strong heart, strong muscles and flexibility. Run, walk, jog, bike or take a class for a strong heart – that’s cardio. Lift weights, do push-up, pull-ups or crunches for strong muscles – that’s resistance. And the best part? Sit on the floor and stretch – that’s flexibility.
Do those three things and exercise will quickly become play all over again.

Minute #139 | Sticking To Exercise
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Thu, Jan 1, 2009
Right now, across the world, health clubs are filled folks rushing to shape up. Why? Well, they’ll be quitting in 3… they always do. So how do you keep going?
If you’re off to the health club for the first time in a while congratulations on getting yourself to do it… that the hardest part. What’s next hardest part? Sticking to it. So what do you do?
Don’t exclude exercise from the rest of your life. Making it something special that you have to do until you get results won’t work. You’re human, exercise is not special, it’s necessary – but it has to be enjoyable or you won’t do it.
So, whether you go to the gym, ride a bike, dance or take martial arts, do with friends. And if your friends won’t exercise, which is possible if you’re making a change in your life, make new friends. Where do you find them? At the gym, riding a bike, dance or martial arts class. See how easy that was?

Minute #138 | Hiring A Personal Trainer
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Wed, Dec 31, 2008
Are you one of the thousands of folks who have decided that this year you’re going to hire a personal trainer to shape you up? It’s a good idea – but who do your hire?
Hiring a Personal Trainer to get your body in shape is a great idea – and most folks really enjoy the experience. But where do you begin?
Well, I say It’s a personality thing. Trainers make great money and so do health clubs so you’ll have a virtually unlimited selection.
A certified pro will have the paperwork to prove they know what they’re talking about – but after that, if you’re going to spend your money and time – it really comes down to if you like them and want to spend time with them.
Hiring a drill instructor to make you exercise doesn’t work unless it’s your Uncle Sam. So, instead, think of a Personal Trainer as hiring a coach and mentor to get you where you want to go. It’s a partnership. Keep that in mind during the “hard sell” at the gym, you’ll make the right decision.

Minute #137 | Let The Diet Begin
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Tue, Dec 30, 2008
Every year at this time, thousands of folks wake up in the morning, jump on the scale and say – that’s it – I’m going on a diet. OK - now what?
If you’re like the average person in this country, you probably gained 7 pounds over the past 7 weeks of celebrations. Now what?
Well, the truth is, for some folks, that weight is here to stay – and after a couple of years, instead of 7 pounds, it’ll be 47 pounds – and that’s a lot harder to lose. So what do you do? It’s easier than you think.
Start by getting back to your regular eating habits – that’ll stop any gain and you’ll probably naturally lose a couple of pounds.
Next, remember, a pound is 3,500 calories – so reduce your daily calories by 2 soda’s and a cheeseburger and the weight will be gone in 7 weeks – about the time it took to put it on… that’s reasonable. Want better results? Exercise – and you’ll be back to normal in 3 weeks.
So lose the drams. A small adjustment will get you right back on track.

Minute #136 | To Reach Your Goal… Take A Breath
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Mon, Dec 29, 2008
So the New Year is finally here. Happy New Year! Now, about that resolution you made on New Year’s Eve? You know, the fitness resolution? I think it’s time we get started.
So we’ve rung out the old – the New Year is here and you are ready to lose weight and shape up. It’s time to grab the credit card and head off to the health club right? Not so fast.
I say… take a breath. Breathing is the heart and soul of a healthy lifestyle. It feeds your body fresh oxygen and helps you relax and get focused. So take a breath, then ask yourself why you made your fitness resolution. What does it mean to you? Why are you doing it? How are you going to feel when you make you goal.
It’s important because 25% of new health club members will drop out before it’s time to play the Super Bowl. Remember, you may have time to exercise now, but life will get in the way again.
Knowing why your started will help you keep going for a long time to come.

Minute #135 | Firing The Muscles
Author: Scott Smithsupport@motivationtomove.com (MotivationToMove.com - Scott Smith)
Fri, Dec 26, 2008
Are you one of those folks is always wondering IF you’re doing things right at the gym? Well, it’s hard to do things wrong but some things can be done better. I say, fire your muscles.
I was at the gym the other day when a friend of mine asked if I would monitor her workout and see if she was doing thing correctly. Sure – you workout me watch – that’s a deal.
So she jumped on the bench press and with no delay started lifting. I said…whoa. Slow down – and by the way, which muscle are you working? She said, “My chest”? Right – but did you tell your chest that? That’s when I got the look – you know the one.
But the truth is, if you’ll take just a second before every exercise and “fire” your muscle you’ll get better results. What’s fire?
It’s kind of like priming a pump - which is what a muscle is. A quick squeeze or tightening of the muscle before lifting tells your body what’s coming so it’s ready… and focused.
Try it, you’ll see faster results and really begin to understand how your body works.
Hey, it’s all about moving – do some now… so you can do more later.
