July has been a hot dry one!! One which tested everyone to the max, but one that has seen record numbers of individuals doing great things.

You have put in the consistency, and one workout after the other adds up and starts multiplying on top of each other to create to create major momentum again.

When you have momentum, you have escaped the stop/start type of training, the type of training where you feel in the flow again, you have stopped feeling so stiff and out of energy and you moved into a stage where you feel you can lift more again, you can run more again, you are much more flexible again and everything feels tighter, stronger and more energetic.

On top of that, your mind is in a much better place, you feel better, you have more optimism and you feel life is starting to get back onto your side again.

July has been a tough one, but reaching the last day of the month with plenty of workouts under your belt is huge for your confidence, your body, your health and your mindset!!

Our workout 2-movement side of thins doesn’t look much on paper, not a lot outside work for a change as it’s been a warmer spell, but this one will make you feel different.

Getting you into different positions is important, and holding these positions makes you realise the imbalances you have on your body.

If you have a weaker should for example, it won’t only flag that up, but may also flag your weaker hips, and a tighter calf the same time, throw in a weaker knee and you can see how all of your body is inter-related and dependent on all your other body parts moving well.

One weak or painful area will almost always be related to other weak areas, and this workout goes all out in trying to fix that.

You may be strong in a few of the workout 2 options, but weak in others, but getting you strong in movement terms means also you become better in our strength workout too (workout 1).

As discussed previously, your body CANNOT GO ALL OUT all the time all accelerator and no breaks, you have to look after your body, make it move properly and get as much range of movement in without pain as possible.

I urge you to try this and use is it great medicine for your body.

Putting regular workouts in isn’t easy.

It’s not a popular thing to do, it’s much easier to make excuses, miss your workouts and have an easier time.BUT you won’t have the benefits, the payoffs, the big rewards and the feelings you have developed grit, resilience and levels of determination you can be proud of.

The higher you go in life, the more distractions, the more people you will get wanting to put you off, the more you will be tested and the more times you need to fill yourself with self-belief and stay the course.Filling your self-belief, your self confidence, your energy levels, your resilience levels comes from

YOU SHOWING UP and doing the work no matter what, and it’s THEN you will be guaranteed to be doing great things and being in a FLOW where anything is possible.Hard work, creating and seizing opportunity is not a route many people are prepared to take, but when you do, the rewards will be huge for you.

The world is tough, very tough at times, and being positive is a real struggle at times, but staying positive throughout even when most people around you may be negative, will be your secret weapon to pushing through the hard times.

If you go into negative territory constantly, then nothing will get done and you talk yourself out of doing many things, there’ll not be much hope of success.

Associate positivity with being STRONG and staying STRONG, it’s very easy to go into the negativity camp and complaining about why things are not doing well for you all the time, but positivity means you are always willing to take ACTION, and when you are willing to do that, your chances of succeeding go way up!!!

Nobody ever managed to do great things by making it easy on themselves.

PLUS you will never be proud of yourself if you take the EASY WAY OUT and DODGE the hard work by making excuses.

You KNOW when you put the work in and you can look at yourself in the mirror and be proud of yourself.

Have the UNDERDOG mentality, when people write you off (and they will), use the gym as somewhere you can fight back, you can regain your health and THRIVE, and with enough work you can OVERCOME anything.
