July 2025 Fitness Tip featuring our RHS Fitness Guru Sunny Mathews

Give happiness and you will receive happiness. Give peace and you will feel peaceful. Give drama and you will get drama in return. Create thoughts, words and actions that give only peace and happiness. The world is filled with enough worry, sorrow and drama. Do something different.

Put your worries aside and you will be surprised by the beauty of the sky and the color of flowers, of the freshness of the breeze and the generosity of the sun. You will feel you are part of creation, and life will start to make sense. Appreciate what you have and what you are.

You can accomplish anything. You can lose weight, build muscle, come back from injuries … But you also have to be REAL in your expectations and build consistency in your training to really hone-in on the results that you want!

Stay stubborn with your goals, but flexible in your methods. I talk about consistency non-stop but remember that doesn’t mean you stick with something if it’s not working! If that’s the case, you move on and try something different that does help get you closer to your goals AND something that you can stick with!

NOW is the time!! Whether you are brand new to fitness or you just need a reboot – You CAN do it!!

Never believe anyone who says you cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. Our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. Change is a mindset!

The Pain of Staying the Same IS GREATER THAN the Pain of Change! Results take time. It took you longer than a week to put on the weight and it will take some time to get it off. Be Patient!!

There is no magic pill that is going to make you stop craving sugar or get rid of emotional eating. You have to tap into your WHY - why you make the choices you do and be willing to replace the behaviors with a healthier alternative.

Celebrate the small wins along the way. One more push up, one inch lost, one more glass of water drank today. It's easy to get caught up in what we AREN'T doing; instead, celebrate the wins daily! Small wins add up to life changes.

No doubt about it, change is HARD, but WE do hard things! We pay our dues each day.
