It’s here — the temperatures are rising and we’ve already had our daylight savings time. Spring is traditionally the season when people start to think about fitness again (unless you count January 1st and “resolution season” as an official season).

Here are 4 ways I get motivated every spring!

Daylight Savings Time

Sure, it doesn’t seem like such a big deal, but just the fact that there’s an extra glorious hour of sunlight (or at least daylight) in the evenings can make a huge difference on how we feel. You don’t need to be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder to notice it, either.

And it really does change things — that’s one more hour you have to go out running while it’s still light out, one more hour to take a refreshing walk around the neighborhood, one more hour before nighttime hits and it feels like the day is winding down.

And the greatest part? The days keep getting longer and longer from here on in — it doesn’t turn around until June! Yeah, I know, daylight savings time has been around forever, but it’s something we sometimes forget to appreciate when it happens!

Spring Cleaning (No, Seriously!)

Especially for those of you who don’t like the idea of spring cleaning, think of it through this framework, instead — treat all of your big cleaning sessions as full-scale workouts.

Don’t do it piecemeal, don’t come to it with a frustrated, negative mindset — instead, take advantage of the fact that you need to do this stuff by turning it into a way to get active.

Stretch beforehand. Change into your workout clothes. Blare some great music. Set yourself a 2-hour time limit. And then really put your body into the work and treat it for what it is — a real workout!

Those Almost-Summer Days

You know those days when it suddenly feels like summer, 3-4 months early? Consider those “preview” days for what’s to come, and get your body into “preview” mode too — take immediate advantage of those crazy, miracle-weather days and get out there and remind yourself what summer is really like!

These ones don’t come along too often, but they’re perfect for getting you into that “ready anytime” mode that helps so much when you’re trying to get in shape.

The End of Your “Winter Body”!

It happens to the best of us. Whether it’s the holidays, the cold, the fact that it’s just harder to walk out your front door with less mental baggage if you live in a cold climate — whatever your reasons — there is most definitely a “winter/summer” body cycle that a lot of people go through.

While I want everyone to focus on year-round, complete fitness that’s sustainable, I’m also realistic — I know spring is the time when you start paying more attention to getting ready for the upcoming beach season, the moment when whatever you’ve been neglecting all winter suddenly comes speeding back to the top of your to-do list.

And while this cycle can be crazy for a lot of people — getting them into a panic-mode that isn’t the right way to approach fitness, for others, it’s a great motivational tool just because the opportunities to get out in the fresh air and move around are so much greater in the springtime.

What Do You Love About the Spring?

Winter is almost gone! Temperatures are up all over the place, and people are getting active and getting out — tell me the one thing that really signals spring for you, especially when it comes to getting in shape!

Jennifer Nicole Lee knows what it’s like to feel trapped in a body you’re not happy with; luckily she also knows that you don’t need to feel trapped at all.  After all, she transformed herself from a two hundred pound mother of two to an international fitness celebrity. Want to know why those models and celebrities are smiling? JNL can tell you — it’s because it’s fun to be fit. Here’s why:

## No. 5 - Enjoy a Life With More Energy.

With JNL’s approved fat blasting and muscle toning workouts you’ll not only start shedding the extra weight and revealing the sexy feminine muscle tone beneath but you’ll also right away start enjoying a life with more energy — energy that feeds every activity you do from the moment you wake up until your head hits the pillow. Having more energy is like having a new lease on life.

## No. 4 - Feel Better About Your Body.

Not everyone is a six foot tall, seventeen year old super model and no amount of exercise will change THAT, but when you are happy about your body and the shape you are in suddenly the oppression of feeling like you can never measure up to the airbrushed bodies you see all around you starts to lift. You have a beautiful body and JNL can help you reveal it.

## No. 3 - Rejoice in the Wardrobe Possibilities.

Imagine walking into any store in the mall and finding clothes that just look great on you. Clothes simply hang best on a firm toned body, you don’t need anyone to tell you that. Wouldn’t it feel great slip into those skinny jeans at the back of your closet again?

## No. 2 - Bask In the Sense of Accomplishment.

It’s always satisfying to achieve a hard earned goal. It is incredibly affirming as well. In this case you can say, “I was able to accomplish this. It wasn’t given to me. I didn’t just buy it. I worked at it. I earned every pound that I shed and every inch that I lost. This is my body and I am proud it.”

## No. 1 - Live the Life You Want To Live.

When you’re healthy and fit you are able to live an exciting active life without limits. Always wanted to run a marathon? Do it. Rock climbing? Sure! Mountain biking, why not?  When you are not limited by the shape your in, the world can bea pretty exciting place.

Life should be fun. There is a road that leads from the body you have now to the one you always dreamed about. JNL want you to enjoy not just the destination at the end of that road, but the journey along it as well.

World class FITNESS MODEL Jennifer Nicole Lee knows that not everyone can afford a personal trainer. The truth is, not everyone would always want one even if they could afford it. Not all the time anyway. Sometimes we all just want to be left alone to do our workout.

The problem is that it is easy at times to lose focus without a trainer standing there keeping you on track. That’s where the GYMBOSS Interval Timer comes in handy.

JNL approved for her high intensity FUSION workouts, the GYMBOSS Interval Timer is an essential training tool. Their motto, “How you workout is YOUR business, TIMING your workout IS OUR BUSINESS.”

This versatile, multifunction, repeating interval timer is a benefit to virtually any workout regimen. Here’s why:

It saves time by reigning in the downtime between reps and keeping the workout momentum high.

When you control your downtime and maintain momentum you are better able to focus on form and intensity.

It is easier to stay motivated and push yourself through a well paced high intensity workout than a routine that feels drawn out and fragmented.

When your workouts are kept efficient and concise you are more likely to think in terms of what you have accomplished rather than the time it took.

Shorter more effective workouts are easier to schedule into your day. The best, most comprehensive workout in the world is not going to help anyone who  can’t find the time to do it.

For all of these reasons, the GYMBOSS Interval Timer, has become standard equipment for JNL in all her FUSION workout videos.

At only $19.95 the GYMBOSS is not only a terrific repeating interval timer but can be used as a stopwatch as well as a countdown timer. Pick one up today and allow GYMBOSS to give your workouts the discipline and structure necessary to kick it to the next level.

JNL will tell you that time spent at the gym must to fit into your day to day life, your life shouldn’t be forced to fit around your time at the gym. Manage your training time better with GYMBOSS Interval Timer and take your workouts to a new level of focus and intensity.

B IS FOR BEAUTY

Beauty might begin at the skin but it can’t stop there. Real beauty has to go right to your core and has as much to do with the qualities of your heart as the shape of your abs.

E IS FOR EXERCISE

Exercise is essential but perhaps you need to work our smarter not harder. Life is more than time spent in the gym. JNL wants you to achieve maxinum results in minimum time.

L IS FOR LEARN

Learning is growing and when you open your mind to learn new things you are preparing yourself for personal growth.

I IS FOR IMAGINE

Imagination is what allows us to move beyond ourselves and change for the better. Imagine the life that is waiting for you and a path towards it will open up.

E IS FOR ENERGY

Energy is what propels us towards or dreams and goals. When you promote and converse energy who knows how far it will take you.

V IS FOR VISUALIZE

Visualization is the ability to see with clarity the person you want to become. You must see a target before you can hit it.

E IS FOR EVOLVE

Evolution is a process not a result. It is a path not a destination. Choose the path you wish your life to follow and you’ll be amazed whiere it leads.

If you believe in yourself you are giving yourself permission to grow and evolve into the person you want to become. You are mapping out the landscape of the life you want to live and following paths that lead you towards it. Belief is what allows us to move beyond yourself and your own experience and become something altogether new and exciting. Believe in yourself, JNL does.

This past weekend the exclusive resort and spa Canyon Ranch was the gorgeous backdrop of history in the making. Best Selling author of “The Fitness Model Diet” book and creator of the JNL FUSION Method Jennifer Nicole Lee hosted an elite group of select individuals who came from around the world to be Certified as a JNL FUSION Master Trainer. For more info, please visit www.JenniferNicoleLeeBlog.com

From Norway, Canada, Curacao and all corners of the globe, women from near and far all came in search of a few goals in mind: to meet and work with JNL one on one, and to become the select few Master Trainers of this highly sought after method of JNL FUSION. These fitness professionals, top execs, moms, and even super FITNESS MODELs are now enjoying being a top tier fitness expert, by adding the JNL FUSION Certification to their credentials and resume.

“JNL FUSION” helped me to lose over 30 pounds of fat and build some much needed sexy muscle tone, one member told it when asked why this method is so effective and efficient. Another attendee stated that she “never was able to get into a workout, start sweating and end a workout under an hour-and see such amazing results”. The science behind what Jennifer Nicole Lee crafted is one driven out of desperation and frustration. “I was disappointed at how little time I had to work out, so I developed this special burn fat/tone muscle technique of weaving in a 30 second weight bearing exercise, followed by a 30 second fat blasting cardio burst.” But the cardio isn’t your push the button cardio and it ain your moms cardio too. JNL incorporates plyos, jumps, speed, agility and quickness into this program, so it evokes the inner athlete, to call upon muscles never worked that often.

JNL FUSION stands for “fusing together both weight training and cardio into one succinct, flowing workout” as JNL puts it. She further states “Fusion also combines all the best training, movements and conditioning techniques from the top sports and other methods of workouts. So you will get some football, kickboxing, soccer, Plyos, speed rope, and also weight training in all one workout. It’s a powerful thing”.

This was such a highly successful event, that one lady even traveled over 20 hours of air time from Norway just to come and meet JNL and work with her one. “I have never been to the United States, and it was JNL who helped me to make the journey over”.

The power fitness summit was kicked off by a Book Signing party by Ocean Drive Magazine, on the Moonlit Veranda at the Canyon Ranch. A record number of high profile fitness celebrities, athletes, and health gurus came out in to celebrate a life of health, healing and happiness.

## You need to do weight training

The beauty of weight training is that it improves the inner architecture of the body, thus helping to diminish the appearance of cellulite. Coupled with fat-blasting cardio, and combined with a low-fat food plan, you will certainly see an improvement.

## You need to detox with JNL robe time

You do not have to be a FITNESS MODEL to have  JNL robe time. In fact, every woman needs her JNL robe time to detox because just diet and exercise aren’t enough. Detoxing every month is important to get rid of that ugly cellulite. All you need to do is mix together red clay, sea salt, and a few drops of aromatherapy in a bathtub filled with water. Then, make sure to use a dry brush then stroke up each side of your legs before getting into the bathtub!

## You need to give yourself a little tanning

There is no quick-fix to eliminate cellulite, but tanning could help to minimize their appearance. Your skin appears blemish-free when you are tanned, thus smoothing out acne, discolorations, stretch marks and the appearance of cellulite. However, do make sure that your skin is protected from harmful rays by getting lotions and accelerators that offer SPF protection. You wouldn’t want to risk premature aging and increase your chances of developing skin cancer now, would you?

## You need to apply creams and lotions

Thanks to the beauty industry, we now have all sorts of supplements, topical lotions, creams and oils that can be applied to the skin externally to help diminish (if not eliminate) the appearance of cellulite. You can get them anywhere — pharmacies, walmarts, at most department stores near you. Make sure you apply them daily while practicing all of the above and you will see results!

## You need just ONE WORD.

And what word is that? You will know when you get a copy of JNL Fitness Model Diet book. It is the most ultimate secret to getting rid of stretch marks and cellulite and the most effective way to treat even the most severe cellulite. It breaks down fat cells, allowing fat to be flushed out of your system, thus smoothing out the appearance of cellulite and banishing it for good. Most importantly, you will get visible results through this little-known medical spa procedure which is revealed in JNL’s Fitness Model Diet book.

Interested? Find out more about the things that cause cellulite, along with a list of JNL top topical lotions, creams and oils when you get a copy of JNL Fitness Model Diet book today!

Have you ever wanted to fit into a skin-tight dress so bad that you had to starve yourself for months? Have you ever wished you had someone to train and guide you in your workouts the right way? Have you thought of hiring a personal trainer but you just can’t afford to pay their fees?

Then PAY ATTENTION because JNL is going to host the World’s First Ever JNL Fusion Certification Workshop that will change your life — forever!

Did you know that fewer than 10% of people who set New Years’ Resolutions actually achieve them? How can you ensure YOUR success? Try using the Top 10 Tips below.

1. Type them Out! It’s a fact: documenting your goals gives you a much stronger chance of success. So start with this step first!

2. Dont Just Be Intereted, BE COMMITTED! Move beyond the luke warm level of “yes, that would be nice” to “THIS MUST HAPPEN!” Change your shoulds to MUSTS! Get committed, and beyond just interested!

3. Take a Reality Check! By asking yourself, “What will I enjoy”, “How will my life be better”, and “How will this make me feel”-you add SO much more energy to your goal process-thus will work that much harder in making your goals a reality!

4. Use the Power of Focus! Once you’ve written down your goals, created a plan and made sure they are worthy to pursue, figure out ways to remind yourself. Some clients post their goals in on their bathroom mirror or in their car. Others put reminders in their blackberries, iPhones or cell phones. Figure out what works for you.

5. Make a Public Declaration! Let everyone know your goals and tell everyone about them NOW! By letting your goals out of the bag, you will feel that much more accountable! And you will work much more dilegently in making your new commitments and goals for the year!

6. Get Accountability. Even better than just letting others in on your “secret” dreams and goals-get some accountability. Meet for lunch once a month with a group that will ask you, “So, how’s it going with your goal?” Hire a Coach. Talk to your best friend or partner. Get some support!

7. Use “Triggers”! Place success triggers all around you! Put your gym bag in the car, place your exercise clothes right by your bed so you see then when you wake up, and put your before photo where you will see it every day! Tie your new goals to a habit you already have in place. By using triggers, you are ensuring your success just that much more! Because remember, if its in your sight, its in YOUR mind!

8. Plan and Prepare! Ensure success with a step-by-step plan. I always say, if you fail to prepare then just prepare to fail! If you keep your focus by planning and preparing, you can and will make your goals a true reality.

9. Audit your goals! Check your goals and make sure they are worth working towards! If they get you really excited, then you know you will be passionate enough to make them happen. Impotent goals are weak, and you are not thrilled enough by them.

10. Believe, and Use a Vision Board. Olympic Coaches make their athletes visualize their victories over and over again. So if this mental exercise is good enough for Olympic medal athletes, then its something YOU MUST DO TO! So visualize yourself in the new year with all your goals already accomplished. Visualize atleast once a day and feel the difference it can make in your entire energy and aura-and life!
