Why Exercise is Addicting

Many people wonder why exercise is addicting, especially when you start seeing results. I think we can all agree that when exercise is tough (see: P90X is Hard), we often say “to heck with exercising”, especially because it’s too tough. But there is a break-thru barrier where the elite are made and the beach bodies are formed. When we break through that barrier, some people are known to have a slight addiction to exercising. Even if it is not popping in their favorite INSANITY Workout DVD 10 times per day, it could be the need for activity. So let’s discuss a few reasons why exercise is addicting. Starting with a video from Tony Horton, and then also exploring...

Tips to Relieve Side Stitch

STUPID SIDE STITCHES! They are like the annoying little brother or sister that nags you when you are busy. Or the weird Aunt that gives you bunny pajamas for Christmas (referencing the famous “The Christmas Story” of course). Regardless, side stitches STINK and they ruin a good workout. Today I wanted to share a few tips and tricks that I have discovered to ELIMINATE my side stitch. Now, of course I must throw out a disclaimer.

I’d be interested to hear either way, so feel free to leave a comment below and let me know!...

I set this goal with myself, and start setting a deadline. The problem is, I didn’t hit the deadline. What happens? I quit. What happens when you quit? You truly FAIL. Do not fail yourself. This past week I was listening to Jim Rohn, a fantastic mentor and inspirational...

Exercising? Push that Pause Button Now!!...

Thanks for stopping by SharpeFIT.com. Today I wanted to discuss some motivation for your exercising. If you are doing any workout such as P90X, INSANITY, or the Shakeology workouts, you NEED TO PRESS THE PAUSE BUTTON! Wait, what? Why? Well, if you are like me, you are not super athletic, or, you used to not be super athletic before you started with consistent workouts. A lot of times I find myself faced with HARD moves in these workouts. But, why am I not getting success? Because I just stare at the TV with disbelief! Just like the guy I have pictured on this page!! Sure, the moves seem humanly impossible, but I won’t get results if I don’t...
