Hey guys, the time has finally come with the fifth installment of the five-part series of How to Achieve the Right Goals for You and of course, we have our viewer e-mail of the week. MadeFit TV starts right now. Hi! Welcome to MadeFit TV. I'm your host Jennifer DiDonato and this is episode number 116, right, 116. MadeFit TV is everyone’s source for health and fitness information and entertainment. And as fit bodies don’t just magically happen, they’re made but you can make it if you just got to stick to it and you have to know how to train for you and that’s what our videos is here for. They cater to everyone all of our fitness levels and our goals so you’ve come to the right place, my friend. So, like I said, this is the fifth part in a five-part series of How to Achieve the Right Goals for You. We’ve already talked about the first episode was basically in a nutshell -- how to pretty much strip away all the negative things that are trying to get you to look at certain way. They’re trying to make you feel like you to look like damp. And, the second part was trying to find out what type of body that you have. The third one, which and what you’re good at, what your body type is meant for and the fourth one is to basically set those goals and having to start working for you. Now, number five is just simply put, get to work. You got to get to work and you have to be consistent. Some tips that can help you pursue those goals that you realize can be number one, you already established it and I got to track it. You want to hold yourself a cannibal so either have a journal, either get a friend to hold your cannibal. Whatever works for you, the possibilities are endless. There are no rules as long as you’re holding yourself a cannibal. Another thing, too is you want to be very aware and you want to be attentive to the plateaus that you maybe encountering and be conscious of the changes that your body is making because when you’re conscious of what your body is doing then you know, “Okay, should we take it up a notch?” “Should we take a break?” “Maybe this isn’t working for me at all.” So, you have to be aware. Don’t just blindly go about the objective because then you’ll find yourself wasting time and if a month goes by and you see, “Well, darn it, if I’ve only known that I was -- that this was a little bit more calories than I thought or whatever -- that I wasn’t burning as much calories than I thought. If I would have addressed it then, then I can maybe be further long in my goal now.” So, you have to hold yourself accountable and track it. And, another thing is be consistent, be patient and be positive. You have to be consistent. You can't just go a whole week of being really good and then all of a sudden, follow up the wagon and expect to see those consistent changes. You want to be consistent, push through. I know none of us are perfect but at least if you have those moment to lift up the wagon, you know why. Don’t be in denial. You have to be straight up with yourself and be truthful and follow through with what you are doing and why it’s so important to you. So, that’s pretty much in the nutshell of how to establish and your goal, make it work, get to work. Okay, now what I want to do since it’s the final segment of our series. I wanted to do a give away. I want to give an ice hot MadeFit TV shirt just for you and also a MadeFit TV water bottle and towel. I love the towels. We get a lot of good feedback from those. I want to give it away so I want to give one of them away. The way that you can have a chance of wining it is I want you to go to Madefittv.com which you're already here and I want you to comment right below this video, okay but it’s only on Madefittv.com so if you’re watching it in Viddler, if you’re watching in YouTube, if you're watching me on DailyMotion or 5minute life or whatever, I want you to go to Madefittv.com and sign up if you haven’t signed up already as a user and I want you to comment on the comment section and here’s what I want you to tell me. I want you to tell me after all the stuff you learned from the five-part series, I want you to tell me what goal you realized is right for you all the series. I want you to tell me, “Jenny, this is what I thought my goal was but now after watching this and you’ve changed my perspective and you made me open my eyes so that my body really is meant for. This is what I'm going to pursue now.” And, I want you to share that with me. Everybody, put it in there. I want to hear about it. So, comment and then of course, in a week, I will pick the winner and I will mail you your free T-shirt, water bottle and towel so there we go. All right so now we’re off to our viewer e-mail of the week. Now, to our viewer e-mail of the week and just a quick thing, if you guys want your e-mail read on Madefittv.com, just e-mail me at Jenny@madefittv.com. All right, this week is from Cherie or Cherie from Nebraska and she just recently injured herself, she’s in the cast and she says, “Can you do an episode on some cardio exercises that can be done with little to no equipment using upper body only? And, once we take an event to this time truly strengthen upper body with weights but let's get real. I love doing cardio exercises as well and may not be able to use my foot regularly even for a while after the cast is removed. Thanks and I love what you are doing.” All right, Cherie, unfortunately, genetically our bodies are not made up to have high endurance in our upper body, sorry, in our upper body. It’s more built form strength. Our lower body is naturally more resilient to cardiovascular exercises because we’re humans and we stand upright so our legs are extremely powerful and strong and that is our core key way of doing cardiovascular exercise. Now, a funny thing is that if you want to increase your aerobic endurance through upper body stuff, you could actually try the speed bag that we featured on the few episodes ago from the Burn Machine that was almost like one of those upper body bike machines. You can take it with you and the very portable however, the endurance so you’re not going to be able to do as much because your body’s in doing cardio which is upper body. So, just to let you know that if you're’ focusing on cardio with upper body, you wouldn’t get a lot of it right now because your body is just not used to it so you can start off with small doses. If you work out at the gym and it does have those arm bikes, I recommend it. But, maybe try to do or work out in bike or do a bike or even do some like exercises -- cardio exercises in the water. That way, once you have cast off, you won't have that the pressure of being on your feet and you're still getting the good resistance. You could even hold on to the side and do it with your legs that sort of way because unfortunately, our bodies just aren’t conditioned enough to do a long cardio session with just our upper body. So, I hope that helps you and I how it helps everyone else out there who encounter these issues kind of know, heals first and other issues with their feet or their ankles. This can definitely be a challenge. I hope it comes in handy. So, thanks so much for that e-mail and thank you for everyone who joined us. Like I said, if you want you’re-mail read, you can e-mail me at Jenny@madefittv.com or you can go to the Askjenny link right above and send me a question through there. So, other than that, I hope you guys have a great time. Sorry if you feel out of it. I'm two weeks away from nationals in Georgia on October 16th so I've been working very hard and hopefully, you guys will see the finished product once I am there and done in the hip stage. So, thank you for all your support and get to work. And, I want to hear your comments Madefittv.com all right. I’ll see you next week. Bye!
