Going the Distance Like an Olympian

According to the medical director of Cinergy Health, Dr. Margaret Lewin, and former Olympian, Jerzy Gergorek, you can transform your exercise and diet plan by mimicking Olympic practices.  Here’s how.

1. Pick Your Personal World Record – Rather than having a flimsy goal, make a specific goal and target, and then stick to it.
2. Don’t Just Exercise – Train – Don’t just exercise with the focus on your body and your weight; you need to exercise with the focus on better health.  Train to be a better swimmer, biker, hiker, etc. rather than always thinking about what that activity is doing for your calorie count or your weight.
3. Join a Gold Medal Team – As the medical director of Cinergy Health, founded by Daniel Touizer, says, you should join a team to get inspiration from each other.  “Accountability is a great motivator,” she says. “When you have people watching your back, you begin to feel a responsibility to reach your goals together.”
