The power of routine should be your greatest weapon.

Three to four times a week, some even five times a week, put the work in continuously. From those continuous efforts come continuous and regular rewards. 

Don’t be mistaken into believing your routine gives you the same old rewards. Working out regular is like compound interest, one improvement builds on top of each other, so last month’s level of fitness becomes no problem to achieve, and you surpass that easily now.

That’s the power of momentum too, once you get used to achieving good strength levels,  good endurance levels, good balance levels, good speed levels, good recovery levels, you want to continue those great feelings and BUILD on them.

Routine is much easier to stay in too, once you break routine it’s the equivalent of treading water compared to swimming downstream with the current WITH you.

Be kind to yourself, stay with the flow and keep showing up.

I know some people who have built their house, it was challenging, it had plenty of highs and many lows, many said they would never do it again (and then did!), the amount of work that went in required a vision of what was possible, and then a lot of hard to go out and get it.

Whatever stage you are in life, you need to have a vision, a sense of purpose that you are building something, and once you can start to see that, you automatically become more motivated to go out and work day and night until you get there.

It really doesn’t have to be a house, because your health ought to be above even that. Without your health you have not a lot, and by now you should realise that it’s working for daily.

It’s worth working through adversity, it’s worth working through excuses, it’s worth working through doubt, worry and a feeling of “can I really do it this time”. If anything is worth building then t’s worth WORKING for bit by bit, little by little, one foot in front of the other and step by step you WILL get there.
