Keri McKibbin Personal Training

If anyone wants to start training, they really have to want to do it. BECAUSE, there will be times when it gets tough, there will be a lot of information to take onboard, there will-l be a lot of stuff to learn movement wise, you will have to support all those new movements with a good diet, or how can you hope to perform well and recover if you can’t commit to at least trying to eat better?

Then there’s application, are you prepared to doing the things that sometimes you won’t like doing to make your body stronger?

Our philosophy of “you are only as strong as your weakest link” is always in place.

Any of you who have stepped outside your comfort zone with me will know that it can not only be tiring, but can initially be very uncomfortable doing exercises that you aren’t very good at.

BUT we are ALL not very good at some things, and it’s human nature to want to stick at things that we are good at and very comfortable with, the things we often find easier to do, and things we don’t want to think of too much as we are “used to doing them”.

The mix if doing things we enjoy and like doing has to be tempered by the other stuff that when we are shown why we are doing it, we KNOW it is doing us good, and when this combination comes together, we become a much better athlete overall with far less injuries, a much better overall performance and much better longevity in our training career, which can literally go on til the day we die in our quest to live a long and high quality of life deep into old age.,

It’s starts with the desire to want to be healthier and your gradual success along the way will motivate you to continue and constantly get better, with age no barrier along the way time barriers because we have live new workouts online daily too.

The power of a positive team in your OWN environment cannot be overstated if you want to get the very best for your health.

Many times in the past, I have started training one member of a family, and sometimes the rest of the family isn’t fully onboard with that person’s goals and ambitions and will often not do their best to help.

If you want to eat right in your household, and others are buying in rubbish food in every day or ordering takeaways regularly, then sticking to a healthy diet is going to be a problem.

If you are keen on hitting the gym most days, but there’s someone who you are around a lot who discourages that, saying “what’s the point”, and “you’re wasting your time”, then all that negativity will make you eventually question whether you want to carry on.

Having the people in your household being encouraging, supportive and setting up your home environment for success can make or break your journey to being really fit and healthy.

If you commit as a family to a healthy shop in food terms, then you will be far more likely to succeed. If your family members exercise themselves, they will totally understand how important YOUR workouts are too, because they will know the benefits themselves.

Seeing your home as a positive environment encouraging and supporting great health will lift all of your health levels to the highest possible standard of wellbeing, and making it a TEAM effort will take your results from good to extraordinary.

Monday is a day you either rely on to make you feel better.

Or it’s the day that you think you will catch up and make it a big success.

Or you think you “deserve” a week off because someone told you that, why don’t you “enjoy yourself”, except that enjoying yourself is being a degree student in box sets, a degree student in the Just Eat menu pretending it’s not a big corporate multi billion pound company that pedals the exact fast and ultra processed food that will do its best to make you and your family sick over time and if consumed regularly.

Someone better telll you the truth, someone had better give you the OPTION of trying to live a healthier life that will make you perfom better, feel better and finally make you feel as if you have endless options in life, rather being restrictive in what yiou can due to you letting your health go because your “friends” and just eat “have your back (I hate that comment and would never buy offf ANYONE who says they “have my back” as they are usually but that.

Monday is the day to nail it, fill your house with good food choices, and be around people who are very likely to lift you up, rather than make you feel hopeless due to the lack of exercise you are doing, and the rubbish you may be puttting into your body.
