Great habits are can be great but WORTHLESS  if you don’t put them into practice.

You know you need to do your workouts at least 3 times a week, are you the one who puts that into practice, or skips them more often than you would admit.

An ever increasing amount of evidence says that ultra processed food can severely impact our lives over time if it becomes what we NORMALLY eat. For all our good intentions and having a good meal now and again, are we normally eating good health food from scratch every day or is a good healthy meal something that happens “now and again”?!!

It is said that bad and inconsistent sleep can be deeply harmful for our health over time. Are we staying up late because we become addicted to the latest tv show, or we like to have a drink most nights, or do we stay up because “that’s what everyone we know does”. 

If we don’t get to bed at a decent time, our next day’s energy is compromised, we become more irritable and we tend to avoid doing much with our days as we are always tired..

Every sleep study in history says exercising HELPS sleep enormously.

Join the dots, add two plus two and make the connection, great habits MAKE US into who we are and elevate us into who we could be, bad habits break us eventually and stop us living a life that we could live, leaving us unsatisfied and feeling there should be so much more to life.

Disappointments, adversity, being let down are normal parts of life, it happens to ALL OF US, how we react though separates us.

Each day we have an opportunity to put it right, to get better, to feel better and to advance our cause.

We don’t need to consult anyone either, we need to get our heads down, we need to get some tunnel vision, and we need to execute and get the job done.

We can get stronger every day, we can become more resilient every day, we can develop more grit and from all of this we get more determination.

Monday is the ideal day to set our stall out, to make sure we feel better, to set our standards and to never drop them, to see our workouts as the catalyst not only to perform better but to feel better mentally too.

Monday is an opportunity, let’s make sire we take it!!

Feeling stressed, anxious and scared are destructive feelings that can paralyse you into never doing anything about it.

ONE habit though can change things for you. Easier said than done but when you feel like that, please come to the gym, it WILL make you feel better and crush a lot of those feelings.

BUT one off actions don’t change these destructive patterns for long, it has to be consistent action.

Habits take time to completely change the way you feel, this is why you MUST keep showing up no mater what, if you can’t do it on your own then ask someone close to you to bring you to the gym, to push you to come to the gym, to encourage you when you talk yourself down, to tell you about the positives you have in your life, and do it repeatedly until you know exactly how to overcome fear, stress and non stop anxiousness. 

Our very positive environment will change your life, and make the way you see life change too, which is all important.

We all create our own individual vision of life, keep working to make it as positive as possible whatever circumstances appear right like now, change CAN and will happen but it’s down to you to keep on showing up, good days and bad, just think of the end goal of the way you will feel eventually and nothing great was ever achieved easy. Stick with it and make it happen.

You may have come a long way already, feeling much better and proud of what you have achieved so far, but there’s a lot more and you need to keep attacking new opportunities.

This new programme is one big opportunity that so many of you are embracing. A very tough programme only one week in is being completed quicker, with less rest in between and with better performances every time you try it.

This is the standard, but don’t rest on your laurels. AIM to keep getting better, don’t settle for just “okay”, keep getting MORE out of yourself and keep believing in yourself, because if you keep showing up, then your body will continuously and naturally adapt to the ever increasing demands.

We back you to keep doing great things and get endless benefits from doing so.

Bank holiday Mondays are usually the day we feel sluggish, tired and often wiped out, and feeling great and hitting tuesday with a lot of bigger and enthusiasm will feel like way off what we are actually feeling like.

A few of us in the family did a workout this afternoon, I started off sluggish too, but I soon got going and hit a personal best on the bench press (not my all time best but my best in a good while).

The workout made us all feel better, laugh more and set us up nicely for whatever the week has to come.

You NEED to get that connection, that exercise makes us FEEL BETTER, puts us in a better MOOD every single time, and gives us a much better structure to our week.

When we do our workouts, it keeps pain OUT of our body, and we must always focus on getting stronger, because once we think our best days are behind us it shuts off something in our brains, and we start to go downhill and sometimes pretty fast!!!

You feeling good tomorrow is a matter of just getting going, the first 5 mins maybe uncomfortable, but after that I GUARANTEE you will feel 100 times better than when yo came in through the door!!
