A Time for Fitness
A long term exercise program needs scheduling for success; here are a few important points to consider. Does your exercise plan fit you? Think about what kind of person you are, what you like and do not like, how you feel during different times of the day. If you are a night person, maybe exercising after will help to relieve stress from your job. If you are an early riser, perhaps exercise will help you to get a good start on your day. Does the plan fit your family and friends?

Reaching For The Fit Kid Within
Remember when you were little and you "exercised" because it was fun? You never thought about how many calories you were burning in ballet class or how high you were getting your heart rate in the heat of a soccer game. That was never the point. Now that you're out of grade school, exercise means something different. It's that thing you squeeze in after work or before dinner, feel guilty about skipping and therefore adding even more stress to your life. Somehow, the elliptical trainer or the treadmill doesn't inspire the anticipation and joy that the swimming pool once did.

Take It From Avtar: An Exact Blueprint
Making a choice about health and fitness is life transforming only when using the Exact Blueprint. I made a personal commitment to myself that fitness both of the body and mind, nutrition and a good supplementation would be a focal point of my personal life the minute I could no longer take the beating, the humiliation and the bullying I went through for most of my childhood. In one instance, I was put, by twenty of my classmates, under a big gymnastic mat and everyone was jumping on it until I almost died. When the teacher thought I'd had enough, he finally decided to stop them.

Finding a Real Wellness Coach or Personal Trainer
One of the most common for abandoning a fitness plan is using gym equipment improperly and, therefore, either hurting oneself or failing to see results. For that reason, I strongly recommend that--particularly if you have never used free weights or professional gym equipment before—you hire a competent personal trainer or fitness coach for at least a few weeks to show you the proper form and teach you how to use the equipment safely. In addition, a coach or trainer can help to keep you motivated during that initial period of three to four weeks until your routine becomes automatic.

Your Willpower Muscle
If you find yourself struggling with your commitment to exercising or to keeping a clean nutrition, don’t be too hard on yourself, according to neuroscientists having willpower is not a character flaw and it could all be down to the physical make up of the brain. Because the part of the brain called prefrontal cortex is the same part of the brain that records our working memory and is in charge of willpower, researchers showed that when the brain is overwhelmed with tasks willpower is very weak.

Take It From Avtar: What’s Up With That?
I was walking out of the health club today after a great workout, feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. While walking towards my car, I noticed two ladies headed for the health club entrance, they each lit up a cigarette; they were wearing gym clothes and were going exercise.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Avtar Zouareg
Weight loss and wellness are hot topics of health news in America. There's a lot of information out there on how to get in shape and be healthy – but what experts have ignored is the deeper motivation necessary to live a healthy life. My teachings will give you a plan that involves more than just diet and exercise. It will empower you to take control of your health once and for all. Everyone must prepare mentally before embarking on a workout program or a diet plan. I will help you identify the enduring inner motivation that will keep you working toward and achieving your goals.
My focus here will be to help you take the right action. Part of that will involve showing you how to rewire your brain for success, tapping into nature's intelligence, learning the secrets of champions and bringing out the genius within you so you can live a Life In Balance. It is absolutely possible to change your reality, but you must take action. As Byron Katie says it so eloquently, the mind asks questions and the heart has the answers.

Other highlights
Nordine's Telephone & Skype Wellness Coaching is invaluable as a means of keeping people accountable...
Over 60% of people who join a health club cancel their membership in less than three weeks, therefore failing their aspirations of attending regularly and getting fit. It's not too difficult to keep this commitment at first, but predictably it becomes easier to find excuses to not go, especially when no one is checking up on you.
Accountability is essential!
With a Telephone or Skype Wellness Coaching Package, you will become accountable to Nordine and, more importantly, to yourself. If you fully commit yourself to the program, Nordine personally guarantees your success!
When most clients begin their Telephone Fitness Coaching, they are:
- Stressed, overweight & depressed
- They crave acceptance from others, rather than from themselves
- Their determination is focused on outward rewards, not on what they truly desire
- Worst of all, their discipline to change is short-lived
After Nordine's Telephone & Skype Wellness Coaching clients soon find that they:
- Have gained muscle tone & lost fat
- Have lowered their stress levels
- Have a new sense of self-approval and self-acceptance
- Have permanent willpower to continue their healthy fitness lifestyle
- Have accomplished more than they ever dreamed of!
