“Zooming in” in on the stuff you really want to accomplish makes all the difference.

Ask most people why they are exercising and they will usually say “I just want to be fit and healthy”.

Drill down under that, and you will see a lot more. 

Deeper reasons are more like “I want to help my blood pressure out after the doctor told me exercising would reduce my chances of getting a stroke”,

“I have put on 2 stone this year, and I’ve never felt so bad, it’s got to go and my clothes need to fit again and my energy needs to come back!”.

“My balance is terrible and I’ve had a couple of falls, it’s stopping me doing so many things in life I used to do, I need to improve it urgently”.

“My mental health is struggling big time, I feel low most of the time and it’s destroying my life, and I know exercise will help me feel better, and I need help get out of this big rut I am in”.

Everyone has got their own reason for exercising, and it will always make you stick to it more if you focus on the most important reason that is so special to YOU.

Here’s a couple of things I live my life by every day, I wasn’t always like this but I’ve learned to put my trust in these principles at the gym.

I’ve learned to trust that most people have positive intentions and want to do some good in life, and they should always have a great welcome.

I ask a lot of all of you at times, but I ask those big things out of you expecting a “yes” from you instead of a “no way”, and it’s meant to be a sign of respecting your true ability, and never letting you go through the motions.

Problems often crop up at the gym, but the quicker we come up with a solution the better, when we act on our problems it stops us thinking about them  and waking us up at 3am, every single thing in life we can figure it out, or at least make the very best out of it.

The recent brutal weather puts all in a difficult mood at times, but when we fall back on what our training has given us, we realise the best in life is yet to come, we do have enough energy to change difficult moments in our life, we can help people out of dark situations around us too because we have learned true resilience and grit, and we need to lead from the front-ALWAYS.
